George W. Bush on Trump presidency: 'I don't like the racism'
The Washington Examiner ^ | February 27, 2017 | Caitlin Yilek

Posted on 02/28/2017 3:21:38 AM PST by kevcol

Former President George W. Bush is criticizing President Donald Trump's first month in office, though he remains optimistic about the future.

"I don't like the racism and I don't like the name-calling and I don't like the people feeling alienated," Bush told People magazine.

"Nobody likes that."

.
.
.
"I didn't feel like speaking out before because I didn't want to complicate the job and I'm not going to this time. However, at the Bush Center we are speaking up."

The Bush Center programs include immigration ceremonies, AIDS prevention programs in Africa and leadership training for Muslim women.

I don’t like “the commentary” from an x-president, regardless of their party affiliation.

Bush never spoke out once against Obama.

Trump has only been in office a month and Bush is already running his mouth.

He couldn’t say a word for eight years. But now he has something to get off his chest? Sorry, ain’t buying a word of it.

He’s probably just saying what Barbara, Sr., and Jr., want him to say.

This fool led us into war where we invadedand killed the Muslims and destabilized the Middle East, and now it’s racism to pause immigration to keep terrorists out? After he lived through 9-11? What an absolute bastard.

I’ve said this before; the REAL George Bush is crawling out on the public stage. Never a word of criticism about Obama when he was persecuting the Tea Partiers with the IRS, appointing hard leftists to the courts, adopting Obamacare. But he can barely wait a month to start publicly carping about Trump, who hasn’t done a thing to warrant these slanders. The real Bushes were never what you thought they were - they would have been nothing but for Reagan, had to hide their real beliefs behind him to get their sinecures, then got elected on his coattails, where they both failed miserably. He now knows that if he curries favor with the media and the left (one and the same), they will invite him to parties, feature his puss and that of his wife on their magazine covers, talk about how much he has “grown” in his post-presidency, and raise him a notch in the historical ratings of presidents from about 42 to 41. What a loser!

Even if you want to call Trump’s comments on how we need to protect our country from Islamists and illegal immigrants (i.e. Mexicans), that’s not racist because Islam and Hispanic aren’t races! Islam is a war plan masquerading as a religion that includes all races, even white people. Hispanic is a culture of shared language that includes almost all races, including white people (Spanish is a European language). If comments on Islam and Hispanics are racist, then Leftist attacks on Christianity is equally racist.

I used to like W—he’s a likable guy. But, how in the hell did he sit on his hands while BHO tore this country to shreds? You want to talk about racism? BHO set race relations back 50 years.

The only upside will be watching democrats suddenly having to defend GWB.

He doesn’t take a dump without permission from his Saudi masters.
