William Barr, the former attorney general of the United States, wrote an article titled "The Case for More Candid Presidential Elections." The article was published in the Washington Post in February 2020, before the COVID-19 pandemic and the 2020 presidential election.
In the article, Barr argued that the American people should have a more honest and informed conversation about the presidency and the qualities they want in a president. He noted that the media and political elites often focus on personality traits and partisan issues rather than the president's actual job responsibilities and qualifications.
While Barr did not specifically discuss Donald Trump's presidency in the article, he did note that "the presidency is not a popularity contest." He also emphasized the importance of integrity and accountability in a president, stating that "character counts, and it counts most when it comes to our highest office."
Since leaving his position as attorney general in 2020, Barr has been relatively quiet about Trump's presidency. However, he has defended some of Trump's policies and actions, such as the use of federal law enforcement to quell protests in Portland.
