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.....

I’m pretty sure Ted Cruz endorsed Trump at some time during the election.

I looked it up, and apparently he did. He got a spanking after that Convention "vote your conscience" speech when the Party officials shut the door on him at the after-event conference. Must have awakened him. He has been behaving very civilly since then. Have to give the man credit for that.

The memory of my voto for Ross Perot in 1992 just got a little shinier...

Remember how everyone said Bush was “so classy” because he refused to speak out about the corruption, treason and dishonesty of the Obama administration.

Don't ever talk about how much “class" the Bushes supposedly have.

GW is yella - he was afraid of The Brown Clown and the Clown's Media thugs.

And he's a globalist.

Fortunately, I can make his memory go away with a single flush...
