President Trump welcomed his onetime political nemesis’s son to join him onstage Wednesday, praising the Texas land commissioner for being “the only Bush who likes me.”
George P. Bush, son of former Florida governor Jeb Bush, nephew of former president George W. Bush, and grandchild of the late Barbara Bush and former president George H.W. Bush, is the only Bush in public office right now, which means embracing the man who controls the Republican Party, even as he took a dig at the rest of the Bush family in real time.
“Truly, this is the only Bush who got it right,” Trump said at an event in Crosby, Tex., as the younger Bush shook the president’s hand. “He’s going far. He’s going places.”
...George P. Bush, who has lofty political ambitions of his own, won his statewide election in 2018 by campaigning on his support for Trump, and Trump endorsed him in the competitive GOP primary for land commissioner.

Politics do make strange bedfellows
I hope President Trump was just being polite.
Hard to believe this is Yeb’s kid. We need a DNA test here..
The Bush family is the worst thing to ever happen to Republicans. To Hell with them all.
Please clap.
Remember The Alamo, eh?
And George P. is probably just brown nosing to further his career.
Sorry, but after visiting The Alamo a few months back, and seeing what GP Bush has done to ‘transform’ it...
Well, if you can’t say anything nice...
Aw hey no
I think he was. It is now up to George P to prove him wrong.
The Rockefellers give them a run for their money.
Not fair to Vannevar Bush.
This guy could be the second coming of Ronald Reagan and I’d give him an unequivocal thumbs down. I will never support another Bushite, ever. That RINO Uniparty stench is just too overpowering.
Yes, the Bushes were masters at disguising themselves as conservatives, and fooled so many of us who voted for them.
Don’t count on it, Mr. Trump.
George P. Bush is a fake conservative like every other Bush and on top of that he was born a Mexican national and is NOT a natural born citizen.
Texas, PLEASE do not elect this weasel to anything else.
I have no idea why Trump continues to endorse Swamp Monsters.
“He’s going far. He’s going places.”
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I want him to go where his heart is, Mexico.
He will never get my vote for anything.
