Bush says Trump ‘makes me look pretty good’ by comparison
The Hill ^ | 03/06/18 | John Bowden

Former President George W. Bush often jokes that President Trump's administration makes his own former White House team look "pretty good," according to a Republican source. The former Republican president regularly knocks the current administration, a source close to the Trump administration told National Journal, unable to understand why the White House often seems to be in chaos. "Bush is often heard to remark, unable to stifle his trademark smirk: 'Sorta makes me look pretty good, doesn't it?' " the Journal reported. "He's shaking his head like everyone else wondering why they can't get their act together," the source added. "He wants the guy to succeed but thinks a lot of his problems are self-inflicted."

From November 2014:

Former President George W. Bush has a simple explanation for why he almost never criticizes his successor: He feels it undermines the office of the presidency.

In an interview that aired Thursday night on Fox News' "Hannity," Bush insisted he would not attack President Barack Obama even though he continued to have strong opinions about national politics.

"I don't think it's good for the country to have a former president undermine a current president; I think it's bad for the presidency for that matter," Bush said, according to video posted by Mediaite.

I guess he's changed his mind now. He's willing to undermine the presidency.

Yeah, that was long before he began to reveal his true self more through his foolish 8 years of Obama-cide silence, then his attacks on the Republican who has already been a lot more successful than him.

Having Donald Trump as president is a constant reminder of how pathetic the presidencies of George W. Bush, George HW. Bush, Barack Obama, Bill Clinton, etc really was.

I find it curious that, for 8 years, GW took the whole month of August to return to his ranch.

As soon as he left the White House in 2009, he moved to an upscale neighborhood in Dallas.

Conclusion: for 8 years, that ranch was nothing more than optics.

Can you imagine the nonsense GWB would be constantly supporting if he was President right now?
The guy is a fool and probably the DNC’s best friend right now.

Some of us began to see the light after he made that sharp left turn after the 2004 election. That was when he really started pushing for amnesty, etc. Some of us were pointing out that the economy was starting to collapse during his presidency. The stalwarts were blaming Clinton, not Bush, even in 2006-2008. They ignored the bailouts that started under GW.

But, some of us had fun rattling the chains of the bushbots. Just the mear posting the term 'bushbot' sent them into hysterics -- resembling those of the Dembots/Obamabots/Hillarybots of today.

As does mine...

I believe George W. is having some serious ‘Senior Moments’ much like GHW Bush is having...

I’ve lost respect when he did not stand up to the ‘BLAME GAME’ BHO did to him daily for the first four years of his terms.
They all are nothing but PROFESSIONAL POLITICIANS...and so typical they make me almost ill..

Bottom Line: GHWB, the CIA/VP/Pres., ran his drug biz at Clinton’s Mena airport and has poisoned our people. He directed the New World Order that exported our businesses and jobs.
He was too busy with that job than be President so he handed that to Clinton. His son was handed his daily script, no pun intended. Obama’s parents were late 1950s CIA recruits. JEB! was next.
GHWB got rid of JFK and RFK and barely missed killing Ford and Reagan.
The NWO goes back to Darwin, at least, and embodies abortion, euthanasia, sterilization, population control, gun-control, white-peoples genocide, open-borders, and United Nations one-world government.
Soros is the NWO Mr. Big now.

Only at family gatherings. Which is the only place besides CNN that he’s welcome.

Comparison? Bush you lost any respect I could have for you when you and your father buddied up with the Clinton Crime Family. So you think a rapist is someone that you can be pals with?

THAT’S DISGUSTING!!!

Will crawl over broken glass through a mine field, under heavy fire to vote Trump over Bush. And this from one who completely supported W BEFORE 911. I left the Republican Party because of people like George W Bush.

I sent a request to GWB to stop sending me request for money for his LieBarry. and he has listened to that...

As for the GHWB he now lives in his own world of dementia..and I hope the Bush family keeps him out of the Public View...

They are all still crying over spilled milk with Jebby getting his butt handed to him early in the game of 2016...still makes me LOL...
I am no longer a BUSH supporter in any form...can't even give away his many books I have, no one wants them..not even my local Rural Library. that is sad..many were expensive...smh

I would’t put it past Bush BUT this is an anonymous sourced story DESIGNED to make Trump look bad. Why are we promulgating this crap and getting upset about rumors started by leftists and/or Trump haters?
