Trump Is a ‘Blowhard,’ ‘I Don’t Like Him’ and I Voted for Hillary, George Bush Says in New Book

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.

George W. Bush took umbrage with Trump’s divisive brand of political machinery, a common accusation the current president faced along the campaign trail as throughout his first year in office.....

Doctors baffled as mute man speaks after 8 years of silence

Red Square

Nearly 8 years after a terrible wreck left a man unable to communicate, his power of speech has returned. George Bush was 62 when the mainstream media derailed his presidency, which resulted in him and his entire administration going off a cliff and tumbling to the ground.

"For eight long years he didn't speak a word," said George's brother, Jeb Bush. Though his family continued to talk to him, they had no idea whether he understood them. That eased a few days ago, when he began responding to questions with grunts and by blinking his eyes.

On a doctor's advice, the family had tried art therapy, giving George paints and canvases. He started to paint, which allowed him to communicate with the world, even if non-verbally.

To everyone's amazement, those were mostly pictures of dogs and cats, which made some wonder if George had anything meaningful to say even if he could communicate verbally. It didn't help that George developed a liking for sniffing the paint thinner.

But in October this year George made a major advance. When Jeb walked into his room to sniff some of George's paint thinner, George suddenly said his first word in eight years: "Trump!" According to Jeb, that took them both by surprise. "You could tell by the look on his face, his eyes were kind of big," said Jeb.

Later that day George added "asshole" to his vocabulary. "He would not have talked dirty before he wrecked," his mother Barbara said. The next day, when asked what other words he could say, George answered, "I can say anything."

That was when, on October 19, the family took George to New York and asked him to read something before an audience. George showed a remarkable ability to read from the teleprompter, which sent the entire American media reeling with excitement. It was a speech written by one of George's former speechwriters who had survived the 2008 crash with a minor scratch. The speech was broadcast on all major networks and became an international sensation in medical circles.

According to some neurologists, however, what George may be experiencing is a disorder known as selective mutism. "It is an anxiety disorder when a person who is normally capable of speech cannot speak in specific situations or to specific people," said an insider who wished to remain anonymous.

"People with selective mutism stay silent even when the consequences of their silence include shame, social ostracism, or even punishment. This was obvious several years before the crash, when George lived in the White House and remained mute when his voters and supporters wanted him to speak up," he said.

Some researchers speculate that selective mutism may be an avoidance strategy used by a subgroup of politicians with social anxiety disorder to reduce their distress in difficult situations that they do not fully understand. At the same time they display other communicative behaviors, such as hand clapping, waving, or hugging babies.

"Time will tell whether George's eight-year-long muteness was caused by brain trauma or it was a strategy to avoid a situation where he was in over his head," the source said.

Though George's speech remains slow and labored, he loves to talk and his mother is very proud of him.

From the family that brought us David Souter and John Roberts...

And almost gave us Harriet Miers and 12 million new Democrat voters.

[okie 54]

Senile old bastard

[libh8er]

In George’s defense, you can’t vote for a guy who rubs your brother’s nose in poo.

Then why vote at all ? This is more than that. This was the senile Bush voting for his 'daughter in law'.

[MGunny]

The Bushes are a disgrace. Did they have a word to say about how corrupt the Clinton”s are????. What a joke the Bushes are!!!

[Snickering Hound]

"Are you gonna cry? Cry!"

[Yaelle]

Doodlebob, you are killing me with your memes today!! Ha Ha Ha!

[right way right]

We can tie a couple extra nooses for a couple more traitors, not a big deal.

[wardaddy]

Boy the scores of zots and harpy wars in the 2000s here propping up the Bush presidency

Those Bush bashers were right

Let’s admit

The Bushes are like Hollywood

They hate their audience

Trump sure doesn’t hate his

Javanka might but not their daddy

He glows when he visits Dixie or rural Indiana

He knows he’s loved there

Man we have got to kill this GOPe beast and drive the remains to the Dems where they belong

Even though I was a casualty for a time of the Bush amnesty war here I apologize for being enthusiastic about him early

The biggest tell what a turd he was is the example of Harriet Meier

How unserious he took something so critical

[2ndDivisionVet]

I don’t think Javanka hates us, they were raised in ultra-liberal Manhattan, what do you expect?

[stars & stripes forever]

Family pride before GOD and COUNTRY.

[Mastador1]

Ah, GW, doing his best to eliminate any goodwill that there was left for him among Conservatives. We used to be able to say thank goodness he was President and not Algore, but over time he has more and more morphed into something as distasteful as any demonrat president, including obamaramadingdong.

[taterjay]

So much for not impugning the dignity of the office GWB

[stuck_in_new_orleans]

Bush family pretty much destroyed the Republican Party.

[Defiant]

The choice between W and McCain was a tough one. Worst mistake ever was Reagan sticking with Bush in the second term and supporting him for President because he had been supposedly loyal. It turns out he was laying the groundwork to stab conservatism and all of us in the back. He was just biding his time. We never really had a chance after Bush ! took over the RNC to nominate a real conservative. So many bad things happened to our nation due to Bush 1 following Reagan—Clinton, the rise of Islam, the deep state, political correctness, unlimited mexican immigration changing our demographics, NSA spying on Americans, China’s obtaining long range missiles, NK obtaining Nukes, Iran still being a threat, Saudi exporting radicalism to all parts of the world. It all stems from Bush 1, and Bush 2 continued his legacy. They both can go to hell.

[CodeToad]

Not to mention Bush gave us Dole which gave us a second Clintoon term.

[GOPJ]

Bushes were KINGS OF THE CHEAP LABOR EXPRESS... off to the dust bin of history with all of ‘em.

[FreeReign]

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.”

To think of the times I held my nose and voted for these anti American POS's...

[trebb]

Looks like the whole family is full of “compassionate conservatives”....and idiots.
