Former President George W. Bush swiped indirectly at Donald Trump's "America first" foreign policy philosophy at a fundraising event Tuesday, the Wall Street Journal reported.
Without specifically naming the Republican nominee, Bush criticized recent trends toward "isolationism, nativism and protectionism" in a discussion with approximately 400 guests. Bush made the disapproving comments at a private fundraiser in Cincinnati for Ohio Sen. Rob Portman, which raised $1 million in one day, according to a Portman spokesperson.

Shut up, Bush. Take your Jeb sour grapes and go home. You gave us Obama.
A criticism from the all- time foreign policy champion expert! Ha ha ha!!!!
I thought that he does not interfere in elections....at least that is what I was led to believe. Unless he was a closet globalist the whole time (which actually makes a lot of sense). These people are scared.
Great endorsement for Trump
Didn’t Jeb just run on this platform and get three delegates?
All the Bushes are voting for their partner in crime, Hillary.
He came out of the woodwork for that?
The Bush clown show continues.
Golly, gee W where is your ‘compassion’... Was your call for ‘compassionate conservatism’ just for political purposes and now the real liberal in you is exposed.
Come on and live like the majority of US do... donate that ‘silver spoon’ you inherited and we ‘natural born’ conservatives kept over and over defending you against the very people you sleep and nuzzle with ... the Clinton Crime organization... Best to keep your pie hole shut as your legacy is not going to be recorded as ‘compassionate’ let alone ‘conservative’.
Bush criticized recent trends toward “isolationism, nativism and protectionism”
No America First policy then basically. W you’re not helping the idiot and Globalist label.

RINOS need to shut up, especially the Bushes. They are undermining the chance to get rid of the Clinton/Obama legacy...seems to be what they want.
Gosh Mr. Bush, please keep your mouth shut - you SOLD us down the progressive river long ago. I have NO respect for you or your family.
w bashes Trump but never once stood up for himself during 8 years of being President? Why should we listen to you now? Go home w.
I hate GWB.
Like I said, if you loved the W years, then vote for Hillary, because that’s what you’re going to get.
In other words, W approves of Obama’s foreign policy.
The Bushes are part of that legacy.
