George W Bush and Bill Clinton both took apparent jabs at Donald Trump at a forum on Thursday night as they named the one characteristic a president needed above all others.
The two former presidents were speaking at a graduation ceremony for the Presidential Leadership Scholars program at the George W Bush Presidential Center in Dallas.
Bush replied ‘humility’ in answer to the question about presidential qualities, and added – ‘I think it's really important to know what you don't know and listen to people who do know what you don't know.’
Clinton said anyone holding the highest office in the land needs to keep focused on their goals.
‘Realize it's about the people, not you,’ he said. ‘A lot of these people who are real arrogant in office, they forget.
'You don't want to say, “God, look at all those people I beat”’.

Bill Clinton and “humility” don’t belong in the same sentence.
As I recall, in 2000, people were being BANNED from FR for pointing out that GWB was not CONSERVATIVE. heh heh
Clinton is a crook and a serial sexual predator.
The entire Bush Klan - ALL of them - are a family of congenital idiots whose sole skill is to use government to acquire personal wealth.
I will NEVER support ANY Republican who has not backed
Trump.
That advice is right up there with “buy low, sell high.”
GWB = Captain Obvious.
The Bushes are idiots - all of them.
Anyone who claims to be a conservative and attacks Trump is a damn liar or a damn fool.
Absoloutely.
Criticisms from a rapist and a crony globalist capitalist who loves illegal invaders are compliments.
Bingo
Totally silent. Furthermore, he never offered any push-back to constant attacks from the Left when he was POTUS. I believe that he set the stage for 0bama's entrance.
EX-PRESIDENTS suffering from LEGACY ENVY. (Add CARTER, GHB & OBAMA to the list)
BTT
Clinton’s 92 swearing in bash started out with Ringing Bells like a war was just won and he got 43% of the vote
Real humility
From all I have heard it that President Trump is a very good listener. Clinton has no room at all to talk.
GWB and WJC are both cowardly punks who failed the American people during their presidencies. They’ve got a lot of nerve criticizing DJT, who was elected precisely because he ISNT like them.
Since announcing his candidacy in 2015, he has shown how a real leader thinks and acts, in ways large and small. His behavior, demeanor, reactions, and toughness in the face of unprecedented opposition, is breathtaking, inspiring, and awesome to behold.
The contrast he casts against his living predecessors is stark, and reveals the truth of their shortcomings and deficiencies of character. From a historical perspective, they look like warm up acts for the main event.
GHWB, WJC, GWB, and BHO should all pipe down, lest they draw attention to their lack of greatness. Donald Trump will prove to be one of our nation’s most remarkable presidents, and is poised to reduce their legacies to mere footnotes in history. They’ll be reduced to even less, if they try to pick a fight with him.
One thing the former presidents share is that they squeaked wins. The 2016 presidential election was as close to the `80 and `84 elections as we have had in a long while. Like bitter old maids, they begrudge this president his wedding with the American people. 
I despise the bush family more and more each day.
Just saying.
Slowly but surely, Bush is being seduced into sacrificing the 5% of his legacy that seems decent for the prospect of being a pathetic old fool still being used by the left.
“Clinton was never humble, and GWB is a total f*cking moron”.
That sums it up very well.
