George W. Bush on Trump presidency: 'I don't like the racism'
The Washington Examiner ^ | February 27, 2017 | Caitlin Yilek

Posted on 02/28/2017 3:21:38 AM PST by kevcol

Former President George W. Bush is criticizing President Donald Trump's first month in office, though he remains optimistic about the future.

"I don't like the racism and I don't like the name-calling and I don't like the people feeling alienated," Bush told People magazine.

"Nobody likes that."

.
.
.
"I didn't feel like speaking out before because I didn't want to complicate the job and I'm not going to this time. However, at the Bush Center we are speaking up."

The Bush Center programs include immigration ceremonies, AIDS prevention programs in Africa and leadership training for Muslim women.

Is he talking about his family’s century of support for aborting undesirables?

Alienated? Then might I suggest they return from whence they came!

Racism? Which race(s) would that be? Talk about a word w/ no meaning anymore...

Good to see the Uniparty\NWO sticking up for each other; some were still ‘hopeful’, the rest of us already knew where the loyalties lie.

Bush did a lot of damage to the Republican brand, we all had to worry when another GOP president would come into office, Trump came in and saved the day.

Democrats nowadays are just extreme leftists.

If anybody’s still clinging to the notion that W was ever any sort of friend to conservatives, well, this should cure you. He was a Connecticut yankee in a ten gallon hat.

I thought this horse’s ass liked to be quiet.
For the left wing racist Obama, but not for the current resident?

Little catty over the fact that the name Bush is dead in politics.

Here’s where we get to compare Bush to Jimmy Carter, another famous humanitarian.

Jeez, what a complete buffoon! I challenge anyone to give me one statement that shows the president is a racist. It’s all a myth.

Protecting borders is pro-America.

America includes all ra es.

GW Bush has gone senile long before his time.

Or he’s just another establishment hack.

Let me get this straight . . Bush won’t criticize Obama while Obama destroyed our freedoms . . but Bush will criticize Trump. Tells me a lot about the character of Mr. Bush!

>>“Racist” is a 20th century neologism with no fixed meaning

In the 20th century, it had a fixed meaning. In the 21st century, it has turned into the word with no fixed meaning that your post describes.

There should be an effort extended to all those still alive

An apology and a hearty invitation to return

I guarantee you 95% are Trump folks today

Exactly what racism are you seeing, W?

So far, Trump has shown antipathy to letting in visitors from a few terror sponsoring nations and has attempted to stem the tide of illegal immigration from our southern border.

Dumb people like you can’t see the difference between institutional racism and keeping us safe. Which, when I look back on YOUR presidency, kinda makes sense.

When the Saudis come to Texas to visit, do you still hold hands?
