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."

Completely silent during his presidency and Obama’s. And now he opines no doubt encouraged to do so by his fellow globalists and the corrupt MSM.
He’s pissing in the shoes of those that stood by him. Disgraceful.
“...press not the enemy”....BUSH NOT THE PRESIDNT.
Probably he is feeling the heat about his daughter’s support of murdering little babies as in Planned Parenthood and wanted to get the subject off her.
How ironical that Mr. Bush recites the fake anti Trump media narrative and then says it’s not the enemy.
I guess he’s a closet Gay who enjoyed his daily butt****ing by the MSM! Yeah I guess if you take it daily you eventually start to enjoy it!
Which is why his administration went the way it did. Sad.
The best you can say about Bush II is that he’s a well-meaning fool. The worst you can say is that he is a fool, and a war criminal. I tend to think it’s the latter.
He was quiet during Obama’s reign of error, so why not now?
What triggered Dubya today? I hope he’s still on the wagon and making paintings of vets he helped disable.
Why the mainstream media is the enemy of the American People
I’ve been watching the coverage of this on the news and most people are unaware of the impact of the US media worldwide.
I am not the first to point this out but as I’ve said everyone living and dead from Chinese President Xi at the recent Davos globalist conference to Castro, to Chavez, to Bin Laden are concerned about US policies that contribute to global warming, homophobia, and racism.
Their local reporters are not reporting this. They are getting this from CNN.
Go get your shine box Jorge!
Living Proof that yo can not fix Stupid.
The Bush family must already be working on Jeb’s big comeback in 2020.
To the democrats.
There would never have been an Obama presidency if president George Bush had pursued a republican/conservative agenda instead of trying to appease leftists for 8 years.
And if he had fought back against Ted Kennedy, Harry Reid, Nancy Pelosi and the other democrat rats instead of letting them make him into a fool.
And to top it off, he let Ben Bernanke and Hank Paulson sucker him in the fall of 2008 and convince him to hand over $700 billion dollars to Paulson as a slush fund to bail out banks and financial institutions.
Paulson used the money to save his friends at Goldman Sachs and other institutions while he let their competition (ie: Lehman Brothers) go bankrupt.
They helped the democrats portray Bush and republicans as incompetent and practically guaranteed an Obama election win.
After what we went through to get Bush elected I am saddened by how his administration turned out.
He had a golden opportunity to right the course of the country and move us in a positive direction but he flubbed it badly from 9/11 on.
Bush was a patsy for the democrats and other liberals then and he is a turncoat now.
If Jeb hadn't been so stupid and the Bushes hadn't been so self-important, Jeb might have been Vice President now, in line for the Presidency, with George P. waiting in the wings.
Maybe the Libs were right all along. Maybe George W. really is as stupid as they said.
As for Barbara, her remarks about Sarah Palin showed what she is.
And this from one of the Bushes' most loyal supporters--who worked for George H. W. and George W. and even nominated George W. for Mt. Rushmore, here in FR. After all that, I finally saw them for what they are.
Bush and Tony Blair should have been in the dock at the War Crimes Tribunal in the Hague. Actually, the London Telegraph, an establishment conservative paper, did a mock trial for both of them. Blair was convicted; Bush did not go to trial due to a determination that he was too stupid to understand the charges or what he had done.
I should have voted for Gore. At least he was honest about being my enemy.
