Bush NEEDS the press, Trump does not.
Maybe. Maybe the way politics works has changed so much that Trump can do it all on his own. Maybe not.
We'll find out before too long. For now, though, people who've been playing the game for a long time are assuming that it won't work out for President Trump.
Bush should just have gone on keeping quiet, but given who he is and what he's been like, it would have been inauthentic and phony-sounding if he were going to get on the Trump bandwagon at this point.

He kept quiet for 8 years and now he is promoting his book.

"I consider the media to be indispensable to democracy," Bush said.And one more outs himself again in his ignorance.
It's a Constitutional Republic, Jorge...you know, that thing you swore to preserve, protect and defend.

Sad to see Bush kissing the butt of the same press that tried to destroy HIM. Sometimes I regret all the times I defended him.

Mr. President, are you too dumb to see that your statement also applies to the press, maybe even more so than it applies to elected officials, who are subject to removal by the voters, or by presidential term limits, or by impeachment?
To: Theodore R.
Yes, he does seem to care about the wounded Vets. But, frankly, everything he does and says is suspect now. Untrustworthy to me.

We need the press. We also need the Press to be honest. We are the free press. Anyone who uses technical means to promote his/her opinions functions as part of the freedom of the press. And we dont need no stinkin badges, either.
Fake news is not merely error, but tendentiousness masquerading as objectivity. And that is what the media is all about.

In the first place, they begin with a damn lie.President never said,”the press is the enemy of the people. He said the lying media is the enemy of the people. Every son of a female dog that parrots the,”President Trump said that the press is the enemy of the people”, knows this is a damned lie. Every you know what that repeats this lie is perpetrates a lie and they are fully aware of this.

Press not an enemy
. . . says the man who signed McCain-Feingold into law. The Fake News epidemic makes a mockery of the foundational premise of McCain-Feingold and all campaign finance reform laws.
