Both former President Bushes had choice words for current President Donald Trump in a new book scheduled to be published later this month, with the elder Bush reportedly calling the billionaire commander-in-chief a “blowhard” and flatly stating he does not “like” him.

Presidents George Bush and George W. Bush, the 41st and 43rd top executives respectively, spoke to author Mark K. Updegrove for the book “The Last Republicans.” It detailed the relationship between the father-and-son presidents and how they were fretful of what Trump had done to the Republican Party.

Furthermore, both ex-presidents admitted they did not vote for Trump. The elder Bush pulled the lever for Democrat Hillary Clinton while the younger told Updegrove he voted for “none of the above.”

“I don’t like him,” George Bush said in May 2016 according to a The New York Times on Saturday. “I don’t know much about him, but I know he’s a blowhard. And I’m not too excited about him being a leader.

No clue that their family is the one place where people on the right and left agree.

They’re all totally irrelevant to today’s issues.
Who cares what they think or who they voted for.
However, to vote for Hitlerly is practically treason...lol.

Both are butt-hurt because President Trump offered zero deference to Jeb Bush.

K George, you win the nice guy award.

WHO CARES?

Trump is getting results you didn’t have the courage to stand for.

“Read my lips!”
“No New Taxes.”

Loser!

We all supported the Bushes because they were “republican” We have learned a lot about rino’s, the uniparty and the globalist agenda since then. Not one word uttered about Bill and Hillary crime syndicate and Obama’s anti American agenda.
George W Bush and Jeb at irrelevant.

We knew that W.

You have lost all my respect. As far as I am concerned, you can go to hell.
You voted for someone who sold 20% of the US’ uranium resources to Russia. Shame on you!

LMAO!!! Old ‘Poppy’ Bush and his hands couldn't conduct himself as a gentleman, had to have a ‘feely touch’ of some fresh meat...sounds about like the whole Bush Clan!!!

After I read ‘Jeb!’ and the Bush Crime Family, I had the same sick feeling within myself as I did with ‘War on Women’ about the slimy, crooked Clintons...

I will be getting Donna's new book out, sounds like some good reading, but this book of Bush, naw sounds to much like Hillary Hag's book of ‘What Happened’...

Speaking of which, ‘What Happened’ she woke up and found out America hates her guts!!!

I really wish we had nominated someone else in 2000 who could have beaten Al Gore. Can’t stand W anymore.

He voted for Hillary?

I wouldn't have done that, even if someone as pathetic as his son had been the GOP nominee.

The man is dead to me now.
