Top George W. Bush speechwriter: 'Trump presidency is not just unfolding, it is unraveling'
Washington Examiner ^ | Aug 20 2019 | Tim Pearce

Washington Post columnist Michael Gerson, who worked in the White House under former President George W. Bush, said the Trump presidency is “unraveling.”

Gerson bashed President Trump in his latest column published Thursday. Bush’s top aide and director of presidential speech writing outlined a series of attacks against Trump and his policies from immigration and foreign policy to the president’s unpredictable rhetoric.

"The Trump presidency is not just unfolding, it is unraveling. All narcissists believe they are at the center of the universe," Gerson wrote. "But what happens when a narcissist is actually placed at the center of the universe? The 'chosen one' happens."

a lot of us myself included had to wake up to the fact that we did not Question what we were told from politicians. today I have learned to trust no one that wants political power...including President Trump who I think is doing a great job but I don’t trust him and I will never trust but that’s because I feel my trust was abused by the Bush family.

You’re right about not visiting Iraq. However, I have mixed feelings about Bush. At the time 1) I thought Al Queda needed to be exterminated and Iraq was the battlefield to have that happen after 9/11; 2) Iraq did fly in no-fly zone and violate 17 UN resolutions so, theoretically, it was the continuation of the first Gulf war; 3) There was an assassination attempt on Bush senior by Saddam; 4) There was WMD but not in the large quantities expected and there was yellowcake (supposedly there had in convoys in the middle of the night taking stuff out); 5) There was a supposedly terrorist training camp at Salman Pak.

I was glad that the US won against Al Queda with the surge, but now opinion has changed that it was all a big mistake from the first. Hindsight is always 20/20 and, yes, there is little gain in what happened with the US pullout, the rise of ISIS and Iran controlling a big chuck of the territory.

So I have mixed feelings and Bush, compared to Trump, has a terrible record. A lot of things should have happened differently on his watch. I almost think he wanted to be understood as a sensitive Christian and it made him look weak.

This is exactly what happened during the Obama administration.

Yes, he is not enviable at all and it shows his loyalty to his family, rather than country, first. I think he tried to be a sensitive Christian, but it just made him look weak in the end.

George P. Bush is still lurking down in Texas as Land Commissioner at the moment.

No no no,unravelling is what will happen next year when Trumps wins AGAIN!!!There will be copious amounts of videos showing that unravelling for all to see,so that even a blind pecker such as yourself will not be able to deny it.

Till then,carry on beating the air.

I guess it all depends on your point of view.

If you are a hard core hard Left Progressive Obama/Clinton partisan revolutionary you can be excused for telling the world is crashing down around you because YOUR world is crashing.

For the rest of us, things are looking better than they have in decades .
