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.

What a loser! Shut up, Bush. Sorry to have ever defended you.

Anyway, who cares what the moron who invaded Iraq thinks?


Daddy made him do it out of revenge.

Think of all the Americans who died defending those cities now in ISIS hands. Think of all the children and grandchildren we would have had from those brave soldiers and others.

“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. “

I have come to the inescapable conclusion that the GOPe “forced” GHWB off on RR as their “price” for helping him get elected. GHWB and his worthless sons, have been trying to undo everything that RR accomplished. Thankfully GHWB was a one-term president. Someone remarked not long ago that “The Bushes” regard everyone else as “the Help!” Hopefully, by his actions, President Trump will show the world what a flock of worthless, globalist, elitist turds the whole Boosh Family are. And quite frankly, I'm surprised that "Little Yebbie" hasn't opened his yap yet. I guess he knows that Trump would step so far down Yebbie's throat with his foot that Yebbie couldn't take a crap if he did.

I wouldn’t be proud of those AIDS prevention programs. Isn’t that how the Clintons hid child sex trafficking, under do-gooder third world programs?

Where were the racists against you, Mr. Ex-President?

Or did you have oodles of the Black Caucus, etc. in your office?

Guess what Georgie, the liberals aren’t going to like you any more than they ever did.

George’s grandfather and Margaret Sanger felt differently.

Probably a good move. Perhaps a general amnesty.

There has been too much of this the last couple of days. I have no evidence but the pattern of innanity in "W"'s interviews; but from over sixty years of mental combat with international fantasy seekers trying to force their wish lists on the rest of the planet, my gut feeling is that someone with something to embarrass "W" with, is pulling his strings.

I do not mean that he is not confused enough to actually believe some of this garbage. The point is that we have not heard from him on anything like this for eight years--and suddenly we have daily doses. Someone has jerked his chain!

For anyone looking for a collection of essays dissecting "W" from his days in Washington: Bush Analysis. From a traditional Conservative perspective he was always a major--an enormous--disappointment, bandying child like cliches on issues that went to the very future of America in any recognizable form. I suspect that Trump's IQ is literally double "W"'s.

“President Trump must be making the NWO nervous!”

I think Trump is in the process of conducting a non-violent populist revolution that will, over the next four years, reduce the globalist cartels NWO plans to rubble.

Don’t forget GHWB’s crack in 1980 about “voodoo economics”.

When everyone was grounded after the September 11th attacks, the Saudi puppet Jorge W. Bush allowed all his Saudi pals to fly back to the Middle East.

Meanwhile, the rest of us weren’t even allowed to take to the sky in a Piper Cub.

I’m sorry I ever voted for this tone deaf piece of caca.

I think he is losing it. Breaks my heart, because I was so with him when he was president.

I used to like George W but I have come to the conclusion that he just isn’t very bright.

He reminds me of a cross between Forrest Gump and The Jerk.

This guy is trash after all.

I was thinking of The Jerk...

Bush does not like name calling but trolls Trump and name calls without explanation, like a facebook dunce.

I don’t doubt he is owned. Poppy had him on a string from childhood. I’m sure the Obama owners made him know how quiet he was going to be for 8 years. I do agree that there is a dumb streak there as well.
