Former President George W. Bush believes President Trump is off track by fighting the media and speaking out against Islam in speeches and in his executive immigration order.
Bush didn't directly criticize Trump in an NBC interview on Monday, but he used his own time in office to contrast with what how the current president is using the presidency. When asked about Trump's spats with the media, Bush said he never considered the press the "enemy of the American people," as Trump said last week.
"I consider the media to be indispensable to democracy," Bush said. "We need an independent media to hold people like me to account. Power can be vindictive and corrosive, and we need the media to call out people who abuse their power."

Stockholm syndrome.
Bush...you idiot. Trump said “FAKE” news was the enemy. Try to pay attention—I know it’s hard for you.
Buh=ID10T
And all of this time I thought he was just naive ...
Oh sure, W keeps his mouth shut for eight miserable years of Obama destroying the country, but now he speaks up to criticize Trump and defend the jackals who continue to chew him up to this very day.
If 9/11 hadn’t happened, the press would have made W a one-termer, just like they did to his daddy.
The MSM is the Country’s greatest threat.
Islam is a war plan.
Dubya is absolute disappointment aligned with the Left.
This statement compliments of a dude that could not even figure out how to put on rain gear during the inauguration.
He needs to keep painting his retarded portraits and keep his mouth shut.
Will GWB ever get it right: just Alito and what else?
I’m really amazed how well the MSM is at distortion and lies.
I’m not a politician, but I think I’m fairly smart. I thought Bush was too.
BUT IT’S PRETTY CLEAR TO ME THAT TRUMP HAS SAID FRMO THE GET GO THAT FAKE NEWS, FABRICATED BY A FAKE PRESS IS THE ENEMY OF THE PEOPLE NOT THE ALL THE PRESS.
SO, THIS punk is quiet all the past 8 years, and then comes out now.
W had the presence of mind to keep his mouth shut for 8 yrs of BO. The least he could do is continue the courtesy. But, nooooooo.
Bush NEEDS the press, Trump does not.
Didn;t this stupid RINO make a promise to keep quiet during Obama’s 8 years?
WHY IS HE STARTING NOW???????????
Trump should call him on the phone and read him the riot act.
...says the man who refused to defend himself from the press’s constant deluge of lies and criticizm.
Hey George, Trump learned from your failure.
Here's a real helpful clue, if you've still sense enough to take it: Sit back, pay attention, and watch how it's done over the next eight years.
“We need an independent media to hold people like me to account.”
That’s the problem. We aren’t dealing with an independent media. Many sold out to global elites and in reality are propaganda organs.
>>>Stockholm syndrome<<<
