[full article title: 'Putin endorsed him, for heavens 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 Trumps 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. '

Well, sucks to have been her. I personally love everyday Trump is in office.
I’ve heard that.
Thanks to Fiddlstix for the above realities to this bs!
You are not alone. Huge fans also wish they all would just just walk into theGulf of West FL
I must admit I was dejected at the prospect of a Hillary victory but I got over it with a surprising Trump victory.
Too bad she went the other way.
We all react to stress in different ways.
So, Suck on it Babs!
I need a digital display that will CLOCK the billions that the Bush oligarchs cost the American taxpayers to support their Marxist voting plantation
Fugly on the outside, fugly on the inside.
She was a privileged old air head rino like her husband and son. according to Donald Trump, her son perpetrated the greatest fraud in US history on the complete fabrication of lie that Iraq had WMD in order to illegally invade and occupy IRAQ at a wasted cost of over $1 Trillion but worse— the loss of 5000 men ( soldiers) and 42,000 wounded. Now IRAQ is governed by the Shiite in IRAN and their government in Iraq has demanded that we leave. We have now have no right to be there and should leave immediately.
Not surprising she felt this way. Especially after Trump clobbered her kid in the Republican presidential race.
Stay out of the BUSH!
Barbara was pro abortion!
So is Laura.....
Not good in my book!
I suppose, as far as pro-abortion folk go.
Yep Trump’s clock is still ticking. Her’s not so much...
I despised the Bushes. I left this site for a while, during W’s presidency because he was such an awful president and I didn’t want to be bashing him on here. Based on his first 2 years Trump should go down as one of the top 5 best Presidents we’ve had, Bush I and II should be in the bottom 10.
Trump or no Trump, Jeb was on the fast track to nowhere. Candidate Jeb would have resulted in President Hildebeeste.
John F Kennedy kept a clock by his bed too when he was 90....
Oh
Wait.
He couldnt because he was killed in his 40s when Barbara wrote a lovely handwritten thank you note alibi to a couple in Texas for hosting the Bushes when her husband was not there at all that day.

Goodnight to you mam
