[full article title: 'Putin endorsed him, for heaven’s sake!' Barbara Bush blamed TRUMP for her heart attack and kept a clock on her bedside table counting down the seconds until he would leave office]
Barbara Bush hated Donald Trump so much that she kept a 'countdown clock' in her bedroom, ticking off the seconds until he would leave office.
The former first lady died in April 2018 at the age of 92. Her husband, former President George H.W. Bush, passed away seven months later.
She blamed the current president for a flare-up of her congenital cardiac condition, a moment she thought was a heart attack at the time, according to a forthcoming book by USA Today reporter Susan Page.
And Mrs. Bush was so bothered by the brand of Republicanism Trump brought to the house where she once lived for four years that she had a hard time identifying with the GOP.
Asked last year if she still considered herself a Republican, she replied: 'I'd probably say no today.'
She couldn't bring herself to vote for either Donald Trump or Hillary Clinton in 2016. She wrote in her son Jeb's name instead.
And that countdown clock was by her bedside when she died.
'After Trump was elected, a friend in Kennebunkport gave her a Trump countdown clock as a joke,' Page writes in 'The Matriarch,' which goes on sale April 2. 'The red, white, and blue digital clock displayed how many days, hours, minutes and seconds remained in Trump’s term.'
'She liked the countdown clock so much that when the Bushes returned to Houston that October, she brought it with her. It sat on her bedside table, where she could see it every day. It was there to the day she died. '

Haters gotta hate.
Especially the tolerant and inclusive ones.
“.....and kept a clock on her bedside table counting down the seconds until he would leave office....”
Pure unadulterated Irish BS...
I’m sure she just stared at the clock continually everyday...
Going to need another clock:)
I’d suspected for a long time she was a closet Democrat...................
Ten to One that Clock was made in China.
Nasty is as nasty does. I don’t recall her being too fond of Palin either. Just another RINO who hung on in the hope they could keep the ball game going for ages.
well, she did give us savings-and-loan neil, feckless george and low energy jeb. nice work.
Her vile hate probably hastened her demise.
Good. Gone.
No more Bushes.

Programmed by Chinese. Stay out da Bushes.
So sad.
She’s Aliester Crowley’s spawn.
Ignorance and/or hate does/do, in fact, tend to blind us to the possibility of accepting that God's ways of rescuing wayward individuals and nations may involve the use of non-traditional, even unconventional methods and means! Check out recorded histories of humanity's struggles against evil and human tyranny.

Anyone who supports the right to murder babies is not rational. She was “pro choice”.
Every “never-Trumper” blames Trump for everything.
After all, Trump did trample here little boy, Jebbie, pretty badly in the election.
Jeb! was supposed to be the third of a trifecta of Bush presidencies, and whoops....up pops Trump.
Trump is a better President than all three of the Bushes put together.
Palin was one of those people she had to consort with for political reasons otherwise they would never be admitted to the country club, ha, they couldn’t afford it so no worries.
The more I learn about the Bush family the more I dislike and start to loath.
Well her biological clock ended first so.... :)
Sad (to steal Trumps phrase). Barbara was a good first lady, mother, and generous person by most accounts. If this story is true, its a shame that she took this attitude to the grave. Seemingly all because Jeb could not continue the dynasty.
Sorry I ever supported da Bushes.
