The White House on Saturday disparaged the legacies of the only two living Republican presidents to precede Donald Trump, after reports that both men castigated Trump in interviews last year and refused to vote for him.
Former president George H.W. Bush mocked then-candidate Trump as a “blowhard” and voted for a Democratic president, while the younger Bush worried aloud that Trump would destroy the idea of a Republican president in all but name, according to “The Last Republicans,” which is scheduled to go on sale later this month.
The White House responded after quotes from the book were published on Saturday, entering an extraordinary war of words involving three presidents from the same party.
“If one Presidential candidate can disassemble a political party, it speaks volumes about how strong a legacy its past two presidents really had,” the White House wrote to CNN. It called the younger Bush's decision to wage war on Iraq “one of the greatest foreign policy mistakes in American history.”

WINNING!
Read our lips - NO MORE BUSHES!
Last for a reason.
“How DARE he, Barbara! Why, Trump is not a Yale man!”
That’s hardly an attack.
Globalist Free Traitors£ GHWB and GWB can KMA. Lets hope they were the LAST Rino Presidents.
Heheh. I think that is exactly what transpired.
The Bushes botched the great Reagan legacy. President Trump is by far the best POTUS since Ronald Reagan. The Bushes are fading into irrelevance and worse.
Hillary isn’t democratic, she rigged her primary.
The Bushes were a pause in U.S. history...a blip.
The Bush legacies are essentially the same as the Obama and Clinton legacies — the willful destruction of our country. For 24 consecutive years.
If waging war on Saddam’s Iraq was one of the great foreign policy mistakes in history, what was Hitlery-Obama’s war (crime) on Momar Gaddafi?
That's why her campaign was so slack.
It belong to her...she did not have to compete for it.
28 consecutive years, no?
Yes, thanks for the correction.
The ends justified the means. /S
The last Republican before the Bushes was Ronald Reagan. After Ronald Reagan came Donald Trump, the next and current Republican.
The Bushes were not Republicans but were part of a Republicrat Oligarchy that continued the Democrat tradition of ignoring the wishes of the voters who put them in office. People should have the power instead of ceding it to elites known as the Republican establishment and Communist/Socialist Democrats.
We are looking forward to the continued draining of the swamp, and electing politicians who actually carry out the wishes of the people who put them into office.
they mad our President took Jebbie down, that’s all.
Jebbie is our Al Gore.
