Bush says Trump ‘makes me look pretty good’ by comparison: report
The Hill ^ | 03/06/18 | BY JOHN BOWDEN

Former President George W. Bush often jokes that President Trump's administration makes his own former White House team look "pretty good," according to a Republican source.

The former Republican president regularly knocks the current administration, a source close to the Trump administration told National Journal, unable to understand why the White House often seems to be in chaos.

"Bush is often heard to remark, unable to stifle his trademark smirk: 'Sorta makes me look pretty good, doesn't it?' " National Journal reported.

"He's shaking his head like everyone else wondering why they can't get their act together," the source added. "He wants the guy to succeed but thinks a lot of his problems are self-inflicted."

A REPUBLICAN source, no less. He never ran his mouth like this about Obama, but then Obama wasn't as mean to his little brother as Trump was.

I’m beginning to think that Dubya is a major league scumbag.

For eight years during Obama this jackass didn’t open his mouth. Now he can’t keep it shut. I regret the day I ever voted not once, but twice for this Ahole.

Dubya is just being an asshole because DJT kept attacking him on Iraq.

George W. Bush and 0bama are two of the worst presidents in history. There never would have been an 0bama presidency if not for the Bushes.

Dont say that. Would you PREFER a President Gore? Seriously...you did the right thing at that moment. Gore would have been far worse than Hitlery.

Oh, I don’t know, W. So far there’s no 3 trillion-dollar war.

What a 'tard. What an evil 'tard.

Trump is the real deal. Bush is a phony from a family of carpetbagging Connecticut globalists.

"Sorta makes me look pretty good, doesn't it?"

We don't really care about that, Mr. Bush. President Trump has better handlers. That's what counts.

Like many here, I voted for the guy twice and was glad he beat Gore and Kerry. But let’s face it. He was a pretty crappy president. He expanded the federal government immensely. Iraq/Afghanistan weren’t worth our blood and treasure. His administration’s handling of the financial crisis (i.e., and the resulting resentment over the ‘too big to fail’ bailouts) set the stage for much of the public to be taken in by the hopey/changey charlatan community organizer.

I meant to say that President Trump came with better leaders: “amazing people,” you know. Wonderful. And I must admit that Trump is very entertaining in a way. He’s driving the opposition out of their gourds.

I’m thinking we would have been better with Gore, and I voted for Bush.
