“He criticized the “governing class” without specifically mentioning President Trump. “Discontent deepened and sharpened partisan conflicts” in recent years, he observed during a speech for the George W. Bush Institute. “Bigotry seems emboldened”
How is “recent years” referring to Pres. trump?
If you include the republican primary that would be recent years.
I didn’t take offense at his speech....nor do I think he was implicating any harm toward Trump.....Too often some ‘look for’ reasons to jump much to quick and therefore certainly misunderstand what’s really being spoken and not just with Bush’s speech but others as well.
You could easily say the “governing class” he was referencing is Congress...and he’s right... all that followed certainly would point to that and the parties in general.
Recently I have chosen not to engage much with news because it’s all about accusations and defending those that have little to do with the country itself. Rather choosing to watch world news and how it affects or not our country.
I trust Trump to do the job he was elected to do...I also expect he’ll be opposed....He’s a big boy and can obviously handle whatever is thrown at him....and he’ll fight and choose what he’ll fight when and at times of ‘his’ choosing.
