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.

You don’t have to throw all that stuff out. You could maybe get a pretty penny for them on E-Bay, or something.

He needs to shut the hell up and go back to sniffing more odorless thinner. His brain has fried so much from it that he can’t hide his true colors.

The last 2 years or so have fully revealed the political establishment for what it is. Ye shall know the truth and the truth shall set you free.

You don’t survive in Business if you’re racist . A true business mindsets allows you to see past colour , religion and other barriers - all you look at is loyalty and ability .
Trump is the least racist person ever to be elected president .

Bush is a religionist first and foremost. He refused to take on the “number 1 State sponsor of terrorism” after organizing Saddam in a coffin. He would not touch Iran. He would not attack a religious country. Substitute anti-religionist for racist and see what you get.
Anyone remember Bush yelling like a righteous cowboy into a megaphone? Well, it was Laura who told him, “tone it down, Bushie”.
I don't understand the man but do understand he stands on the side of religion and turns the other cheek as required. Sad how his better instincts were squashed by those who rule over him: his mother and wife.

Maybe Bush is thinking they won’t have G.w. to blame anymore.

Really? Tell that to all the multimillionaires in the rap music industry. And in fact, Hollywood is clearly overtly racist towards white folk. Racism is business is everywhere. It's not even debatable.

I haven’t read the article. Did Bush make one mention of any of Trump’s positive accomplishments?
