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.....

If Hillary had been elected 'elites' in DC would have done even better than they've done in the past. Five of the wealthiest ZIP codes in the country are clustered around Washington DC... those folks would have made out like bandits with Hillary as President - and SO WOULD THE BUSHES.
Money and Prestige... Hillary would have kissed Bush butt and kept the CHEAP LABOR EXPRESS RUNNING...
It’s hard to ban someone when they quote GWB. That’s all I did. Held up His actions to his words and asked what about Iran.
That’s probably true she just looked down on us and doesn’t understand us

Despicable, shallow, small minded men. Good of them to finally admit they’re Democrats. Sure explains a lot.
Dear mr. Bush. Here is a big FU traitor!
You can do it and say you didn't. Or just do it and shut up.
Bingo. I spent so many hours working for W.
spit
That’s all I need to know. I take back every nice thing I ever said about W.
According to my records, these are the GOP Senators who endorsed Trump (alphabetical order):
Bob Corker TN
Richard Burr NC
Deb Fischer NE
Sen. Chuck Grassley IA
Mitch McConnell KY
Rand Paul KY
David Perdue, GA
Jeff Sessions AL
That top one's a corker, Isn't it? No telling how they or anyone else actually voted. Trump had a lot more support in the House.
I believe that Sessions and Paul voted for Trump the others probably stayed home.
Sessions probably actually did. That was when they were still on honeymoon.
One of his most popular accomplishments was boosting the career of Dana Carvey.
Dana Carvey's George Bush Impersonation: Christmas at the White House (1992)
I’m pretty sure Ted Cruz endorsed Trump at some time during the election.
HALLELUIA!
I did. He was on top of the economic and trade issues way back then, and everyone just mocked him. He got "deep stated" and couldn't take it when they threatened his daughter. Trump watched, took notes and waited.
I loved when he said, "Voting for the Arkansas Governor is like voting for the manager of a Wal-Mart."
A picture worth 1,000 words!
By the Bushs’ own logic, we should all have not voted for either of the Bushs. What a bunch of cry babies.
