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.

If W doesnt like people being alinated by Trump then W should attack the FAKE news coming from the press which is doing that.

Maybe Dubya is a masochist...he loves it.

As low as you can get. On the day he makes his speech to congress, barely 30 days into his presidency and this bum calls him a racist. After being silent for 8 years of the most racist president in years.

Bush is a real piece of garbage. And I once loved him. (See my profile)

GW, you didn’t speak up when obama was lying about us.. attacking us.. using the IRS against any group he didn’t like.. You were silent for 8 years of the worst president in history... and NOW you think you can say anything?

NO.. you forfeited your right to speak now because you were silent for 8 years when we needed you to speak out in our defense.

We have a President now, who is NOT a racist... is NOT a divider... who keep his promises... who cares about Ameria.... who we voted in... and you criticize? You have no right... you forfeited any right to say a WORD!

Those who attack Trump, attacks me... his voters. And I am tired of hearing all the lies about a good man!!! You just repeat what the media puts out...and they are treasonous back stabbers who can’t tell the truth!

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

Compassionate “conservative”?

“leadership training for Muslim women.”

Yeah, this will be of great help to them in their Muslim communities.

I used to get mad when people referred to George W Bush as being an “IDIOT” or “DUMB” or “STUPID”.

I apologize to all of you. You are proved 100% correct.

"[The new President] deserves my silence. There's plenty of critics in the arena. I think it's time for the ex-president to tap dance off the stage and let the current president have a go at solving the world's problems."

After all the names and slandering the Obamas and Clintons did to you. Daddy too.

No wonder you left office a broken man, Daddy too. You two gave the Nation the Clintons and Obamas, yet you dare criticize Trump. You kept your big mouth shut while these people were destroying the country with policies, appointments, and idiots in charge.

You are an ungrateful, elitist POS. No man of dignity and integrity would ever pander to such disgusting scum while badmouthing a patriot like Donald Trump

Show us you’re not a racist yourself and move to South Dallas instead of your elite, cul de sac, safely tucked away in heavily conservative part of town.

He’s playing the race card,

His daughter has that gig speaking at a planned parenthood fundraiser and probably wants to become like Cecil Richards, some wheel in the organization.

Last week, most people might have missed it, Pence and Dick Cheney spoke at a Conservative Jewish event, I thought Cheney was trustworthy, now, one has to reevaluate everything.

Where was the talk of “racism” while your boy Obama was taking the black side of EVERY dispute, no matter how egregious the false accusations against the likes of George Zimmerman or Officer Darren Wilson?

Where were the charges of “racist talk” when hilLIAR and Socialist Sanders were pandering to every racist minority group and organization? It isn’t racist, George, when they always blame whitey and make blacks and Muslims and Latinos always the “victims”? What sort of sick mindset do you all possess in which it’s ok to call Trump names while engaging in disgusting pandering that is clearly one sided?

Not to mention your disgusting brother and his “act of love” stupidity on illegals. You should be ashamed, all of you.

“Nobody likes that.”

Um.....I do. I love to alienate the breakers of legitimate laws. And I love to alienate leftists who loathe the privileges of U.S. citizenship.
