Bush says Trump ‘makes me look pretty good’ by comparison
The Hill ^ | 03/06/18 | John Bowden

Posted on 03/06/2018 7:30:04 AM PST by fireman15

Former President George W. Bush often jokes that President Trump's administration makes his own former White House team look "pretty good," according to a Republican source. The former Republican president regularly knocks the current administration, a source close to the Trump administration told National Journal, unable to understand why the White House often seems to be in chaos. "Bush is often heard to remark, unable to stifle his trademark smirk: 'Sorta makes me look pretty good, doesn't it?' " the Journal reported. "He's shaking his head like everyone else wondering why they can't get their act together," the source added. "He wants the guy to succeed but thinks a lot of his problems are self-inflicted."

I loved this man and thought his handling of 9/11 was legendary.

Yes, except Irack had nothing to do with it. Instead, we should have blown the Sowdies off the map.

The world would have been a much better place.

Bush belittles himself yet again. Like Romney McShame Kasick and a few more sore losers. The R party stable of politicians needs a Herculean cleanout. ASAP!

One good thing is that you can include him in many of your criticisms of Clinton/Obama and therefore you don’t seem partisan.

Amazing how perception changes over time. 15 years ago that post would have been deleted and the poster banned faster than Michael Moore on a doughnut.

I am still laughing from your video. I have seen the same type of garbage truck operator expertise where we live.

NO you stupid twit - Obama made you look like a statesman, Trump makes you look like a chump and sell out.

It’s like that old saying don’t say anything and people might assume your a fool but open your mouth and... uh... say... the point is when you talk it confirms you’re a fool.

I never got why some Freepers couldn’t stand Bush...

Bush was the best Democrat the Republicans ever elected.

bush (and his extended family) share the same damaged, mutant DNA that the clintoon family has. I’m beginning to think they ALL should be in prison.

No, GWB, he doesn’t. Trump makes your time as president look pathetic, weak and feckless by comparison.

why yes, George, we expected your justice department or the Fed Election Commission to vet people running for high office. So we can blame the 8 years following the stumblebum presidency on you, cant we. If you had been a mid age white man in Mississippi instead of a rich puke in the state of idiocy, you might have noticed...

W's handling of 9-11 was awful. We invaded a country that had nothing to do with it. We let the one guy who was responsible escape when we had him under our thumb. And worse of all, he implemented the most invasive, fascist policy since Woodrow Wilson - The Patriot Act.

Sorry, no love lost here.

The only thing that “W” did was that he kept two assholes out of the White House. (algore and J ‘effin Kerry)

America didn’t want Trump till they understood they needed Trump, the optimistic juggernaut.

Makes me hate my handle more and more every time I think of him. Gosh, I wish I could change it...

I have still got Christmas cards and pictures from both Bush Whitehouses. I defended both of them. In hindsight the best thing that Bush Sr. did was to keep Dukakis from getting elected. The best thing that Bush Jr. did was keeping Gore and Kerry from getting elected. Those three would have been worse.
