[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. '

I thought McCain had cornered the petty RINO market.
Eh, she’s burning in Hell next to John McCain.
Hope they’re both having a bang up time.
Karma.
She is a first class nitwit and globalist “elite” loser. She should shut up.
She hasn’t said anything for about a year now.
...and stop contributing to books.
Big Mike is a trannie.
“...and kept a clock on her bedside table counting down the seconds until he would leave office”
O’rly?
How’d that work out for you, lady?
She wasn’t heartbroken about Jeb’s loss. She’d previously downplayed his campaign and said that the world didn’t need another President named Bush (prior to his entering the 2016 race).
I wonder how many missives are by the same sort of staffers who were speaking for Juan McCain while he had one foot in the grave.
No the Asian girlfriend
Wow! She sure turned into a POS...
GHW’s dad, Prescott, was the first Treasurer for Planned Parenthood.
Evil folks.
Ha! Compassionate about NWO.
My bet is that he was with a girlfriend that afternoon.
Reagan should have gone with who he really wanted, Paul Laxalt. He took GHWB in order to gain the support of the GOP establishment.
what a bitch.......I liked her better than her globalist creep of a husband but they were both arses.
