The late former first lady Barbara Bush, did not vote for President Donald Trump but wrote to his wife Melania Trump that she was “glad” to be welcoming her into the “First Ladies' very exclusive club” instead of penning a letter to ex-President Bill Clinton, who would have entered the White House had his wife Hillary Clinton been elected.
“Dear Mrs. Trump, The world thought I was writing this note to Bill Clinton. I am glad that I am not,” Bush wrote in the letter revealed in her upcoming biography. “I wanted to welcome you to the First Ladies' very exclusive club. My children were older and therefore I did not have the problems you do. Whatever you decide to do is your business and yours alone.”
Bush, who died last April, at the age of 92, sent the letter to Melania Trump two weeks after Donald Trump won the election, as the incoming first lady faced scrutiny over whether she would move from New York to Washington, D.C.
“Living in the White House is a joy and their only job is to make you happy,” Bush wrote. “If you decide to stay in NYC that will be fine also. When you come to the White House let your son bring a friend. That is my unasked for advice. God Bless you.”(snip)
Bush’s warm welcome to Melania Trump was a sharp contrast to her decades-long dislike of Donald Trump, as documented in her biography to be released next week,(snip)
The former first lady wrote that Trump was “greedy, selfish and ugly” in her diaries from the 1990s, the biography reveals.
Not expecting Trump to win, Bush wrote a congratulatory letter to Bill Clinton, welcoming him to “the First Ladies Club.” “We can’t wait to initiate you,” she wrote humorously.

Wait a minute - Melania Trump is in the same club as the Mooch?
Surely they have rules...standards...something!
If she wrote letters to both Melania and Bill, then both letter should have been mailed!
Right?
“Her autobiography/memoirs book is about to be released.”
So is my breakfast and lunch.
Barbara Bush was my favorite First Lady... it's nice to see she wrote to Melania. That puts her back on top - and forgiven for overreacting to Jeb! losing. (Guess that's OK too - she's a protective loving mother)

Lol
Remember when the Bushes were praised and admired here on Free Republic. I was one of the main ones. No more! They squandered all the good will that Americans had for them.
Post-election change of heart.
If Hillary had won, Barbara would have written: ‘welcome back to the White House, Bill”.
Soon to be forgotten, the wife of old President Grab Ass. The Bush’s are as tiresome as the Kennedy’s.
Babs had a big mouth.
You know, you hope to grow old with some dignity.
How do you vote for a skank like Clinton, then hold your head up proud?
I am very disappointed with the Bush family.

Swipe....back at the reporters who say otherwise.
