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

Posted on 03/06/2018 7:30:04 AM PST by fireman15

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."

I believe President Bush made some horrific policy errors regarding Iraq, but a “Republican source” is where this comes from?

Fake news.

W resents the strength, power and accomplishment of Trump in his first year. Trump has real influence and outrides Bush 43, in the “cowboy” department.

If I didn’t know better I could think Trump was all Texan, and I even have a new respect for what New York State can produce. Unbelievable, actually.

W proves himself to be one more company man. Too bad he can’t shut his mouth for our party as he did for the stinking Leftist prez.

Not enough blood and lives of service men and women sacrificed for his liking I suppose. The Bushes truly a family of craven sickos.

Prior to Trump, Bush was the most reviled president in modern history. The sliming of Bush was insane. If ANY president should understand what Trump is being put through, it should be Bush.

Because of his current stance, I will say something I personally have not said about Bush. I have tried for a long time to "like" him, I know he _was_ a good man doing his best.. but at this point.. "Buck Fush".

I liked W, but, I think he is wrong. If he had said jOkeass, I would agree with him.

After eight years of silence on Obama, Bush really needs to keep working harder at improving his water color skills

Trump is doing a great job cleaning up Bush’s messes

Two images come to mind about GW:

1 His hand holding and kissing the Saudi Prince

2 His marching in a parade with a young girl and waving a small Mexican flag

Those pretty much define him.

That’s exactly what I’m wondering. What about you and Haiti, W? What was your knowledge of that global ripoff of the world’s most beleaguered people? Or were you just so terminally stupid that you had no clue? I still can’t believe I defended that moron relentlessly for 8 years.

Squander all his political capital and keep silent under unending attacks is not what any sane and reasonable man would do. He could have been a contender (for best President). Instead, he winds up like a punch drunk has-been.

Only in the elitist bubble. The rest of us are realizing hw feckless that administration was. They excelled at responding to a terror tragedy and gave us a decent tax cut. Otherwise it was a mess.
