WASHINGTON — President Trump is not a favorite in the extended Bush household. Former President George Bush considers him a “blowhard,” only interested in feeding his own ego. Former President George W. Bush, his son, thinks Mr. Trump fans public anger and came to office without any understanding of the job.
And both worry that Mr. Trump has blown up a Republican Party that they spent two lifetimes building, a party that was once committed to removing boundaries to trade and immigration, promoting democracy and civil society and asserting a robust American leadership role in the world, according to an author who has interviewed them.

Yes. I will never forget visiting my Dad in Chicago and on the news, they had a list of the young Americans killed in the war, scrolled on the screen. Some of them had gone to my high school. It was heartbreaking.
So much precious American blood spilled. And yes, innocent Iraqis killed as well...I am not an expert in world politics, etc., but what did this actually accomplish?
Buck the Fush’s
LOL! And make sure to stand on your tippy toes while doing so! LOL!
The Reagan coalition died in 1999. Had Gingrich or Kemp ran in 2000, this would not be happening.
W. was good until 2006.
So sick and tired of the Bushes. Wasn’t a fan of Bush 43 even when he was elected but what was the other option, Al Gore..so Bush was the lesser of two evils..and what did he do while President..put us in an unnecessary war, 9/11 happened on his watch..Katrina happened on his watch..the media called him Hitler, a moron, etc..and now this same Bush wants to be buddy buddy with the same media..of course they voted for Clinton, DUH, I didnt need to read some stupid book of theirs to know that..they are open borders, pro amnesty, single payer supporting douche bags, just like the Clintons..notice NOT A PEEP during the Obama years, of course not..the Obama agenda was their agenda..and he is worried that Trump is going to blow up the GOP..GOOD!! If President Trump accomplishes that alone I will be VERY happy..the GOP needs to be blown up..because right now when I look at them they behave just like Democrats..they want amnesty for illegals, open borders, so how exactly do they differ from Democrats, these GOP Elitist punks..they need to be taken out of power
This is the same George Bush whom the family says should be excused for coping a feel because he’s senile?
That George Bush or his son who had nothing to say during Obama’s terms and started the bad times rolling by signing the bailout Obama wanted while he (Bush) was still president as a courtesy?
The both of them should take a long walk off a short pier and let the fish listen to the air escape from their mouths.
They can worry all they want, they have no real power anymore.
And in case they hadn’t noticed, it’s the Rat Party that’s broke and is circling the drain. Are they that clueless not to notice this?
The GOP needs to be burnt to the ground and started again.
There are good people within it, however as a whole it is no longer a Parriotic party, it is infested with Marxists.
I consider both the Bush’s to be two of the most evil human beings in the history of creation
And they wonder WHY trump got elected, well because !Jeb! was such an utter disappointment that was supposed to have a coronation the same way Hillary was and was probably supposed to lose to Hillary by DESIGN!
The dislike for Trump is one thing, aiding and abetting enemies selling out our national sovereignty is another.
Traitors.
Free Traitors™.
Democrats (journalist or other) tend to sometimes look back “fondly” on prior Republican presidents as a way to cast invidious comparisons with a sitting Republican president.There are plenty of Republicans who don’t think of Donald Trump as the second coming of Ronald Reagan - but then, GHWB himself had snide remarks about “voodoo economics” prior to becoming RR’s VP candidate. And he backed that rationale up by reneging on a campaign promise of “no new taxes.”
Limiting tax rates is so important that it is necessary to face down even Republican deficit hawks (say nothing of ersatz Democrat ones) over the issue. Trump is pushing tax cuts, even if they could be better. I expect that the people who are affected by the bump in the tax rate (which occurs in the “low” millions of dollars of taxable income) will be willing and able to game that problem by realizing less income in one year and more income in the next to evade some of the hit.
Bottom line is that Trump is doing good, and the country will do well - and “never Trumpers” would have given the presidency to Hillary the Corrupt. And both Bushes are far too comfortable with corrupt Democrat presidents.
[ Trump is blowing up the eGOP, restoring the GOP back to what it is supposed to be.
The Bush family are nothing but Democrats. ]
I think you are wrong the Bush Family are not Democrats, first and foremost they are ESTABLISHMENT BIG-STATE, They only wear Republican like a “Costume”, they are the most bi-partisan people you will ever find, they will always vote against a party plank in service to the BIG-STATE ESTABLISHMENT!
Wow! Who knew that the NYT had such a great love for the Republican party? It’s nice that they miss the good ol days.
I quote from Newsweek issue of May 1992, our President’s view of Bush, Sr:
“Ronald Reagan is not called the Great Communicator for nothing. In one brief sentence last week, the ex-president neatly summed up his view of George Bush: “He doesn’t seem to stand for anything,” Reagan reportedly told friends. The former president later denied ever making the remark, first published in The Washington Post, but in case anyone doubted his true feelings Reagan then refused to be seen with the president in public. He skipped a Bush fund-raiser in Los Angeles and barred the press from his house when Bush came calling.”
“I think you are wrong the Bush Family are not Democrats, first and foremost they are ESTABLISHMENT BIG-STATE”
Exactly: democrats.
[ “I think you are wrong the Bush Family are not Democrats, first and foremost they are ESTABLISHMENT BIG-STATE”
Exactly: democrats. ]
Democrat is just a costume for them, granted it is their PRIMARY costume, if you are a republican like McCain you are praised from the MSM bleachers, but you are never destined to win because you are the Washington generals of the whole setup.
“Bushes worry Trump is blowing up the GOP”
Well, dumbasses, that’s what we sent him there to do.
Please clap.
