[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. '

And who is Susan Page's source for that?
Her big mistake was giving ‘Yeb!’ her blessing to run.
She knew her son’s limitations, and knew he would screw it up.
“She’s Aliester Crowley’s spawn.”
Well, it’s at least possible, though unlikely.
At age 92, she should have spent her time trying to overcome the hatred in her heart. Did she think she would have lived forever had feckless JEB been elected?
or Hecho en Mexico.
I really loathe the Bush family at this point.
LOL so all it took was for Trump to win and she got a heart attack..WOW why couldn’t that happen to all liberals
Her son stole the 4th amendment from Americans.
A pox on their house...
She was pro abortion..nuff said
Well, we’re even then. I kept a count up clock that records the days since “No more taxes” Bush departed.
Another elitist having heart attacks over Trump
I wonder if she was Buried with one of Jeb’s Guacamole Bowls along with his secret Recipe?
Tired of those Bushes, anyway. Bye-Bye
Foolish enough to have thought Jeb! could have beaten Hillary, Inc. I wonder if the Clintons and Bushes would have BFF after that bi+ch was done brutalizing her baby.
“The more I learn about the Bush family the more I dislike and start to loath.”
Yeah; me, too. But, the alternatives were still worse, though just barely.
The last time I pulled the lever for a Bush, in a general or a primary, was 2004 with W.
Closet Democrat, Bush-League Republican.
That's a distinction without a difference.
I came to hate the Bushs as well, if it is any consolation.
And all this time I thought it was because of Global Warming.
She was just upset because little Jebby wasn’t able to carry on the family dynasty. “Trump’s fault.” She’s over it now.
If Jeb had ended up being slaughtered by Hillary in the General Election, would she have had a Stroke?
