As Americans commemorate the life of the late president George H.W. Bush, liberal media figures have used Bush 41 to launch into attacks on President Donald Trump. A Grabien montage captures the many attacks.
"But what becomes undeniably obvious with every bio run about Bush 41 is that stark contrast between these two men," MSNBC co-host Mika Brzezinski begins, launching into attacks on Trump. "Over the last two years, deviancy has continued being defined down by this current president, his cronies, his supporters."
"Donald Trump is 180 from who George H.W. Bush is," CNN reporter Jamie Gangel adds. She further suggests that Trump is only delivering a eulogy for Bush because "he feels he has to do it." (Indeed, Trump had criticized Bush in the past, but comments on the campaign trail do not necessarily invalidate a eulogy.)
Joy Behar, a host of "The View," claims that Trump is dismantling George H.W. Bush's legacy. "This president that we have now is trying to unravel everything that he did and Obama did," she says.
CNN's Jake Tapper says, "There are a lot of things about George H.W. Bush that maybe people now appreciate that they didn’t appreciate at the time," because of Trump.
Eugene Robinson, an associate editor at The Washington Post, directly contrasts Trump and Bush 41. "It just gives you a sense of the big character of the man and the contrast with the small character we see today," Robinson says.
George H.W. Bush did indeed distinguish himself in World War II, in the Cold War, and in leading the first Gulf War, and Trump has not achieved anything like these things. Trump's presidency is ongoing, however, and he may achieve historic things. It is fair to note that Bush served in World War II while Trump has not...

Boy we knew this was coming.
Oh wait.. can I say BOY in this context??? Or any???
Both of these men have held the office of POTUS. That is more important than any stylistic differences. There is no contrast that matters.
It’s largely Comcast that’s pissing in your shoes
Agreed
They say all these things about Trump while saying we need more civility like when Bush was president .... And laid down and took it when this same media cursed his name his name and called him all kinds of names.
Because they have hoped that someone would have killed President Trump years ago..Trump represents middle America and that is something the commie media despises more than anything else. They wish it were US in that casket..they hated Bush 41, they hated his son, but who they hate the most is Donald Trump, because he refuses to stand for their crap
Whenever you hear leftists say they want civility what they really mean is if all Conservatives were dead America would be a much better place
The media is small minded adults who never progressed in their minds. I wish Fox news would answer the “media” with that charge.. that they are too young to understand Trump.. too inept..too uneducated to understand a man above their abilities.
The media’s gushing over George HW Bush is making me sick. These were the same people along with their late night TV buddies who endlessly attacked old man Bush during his presidency, accused him of being a wimp, and denigrated him all throughout the 1992 campaign as an out of touch patrician to make Bubba look better. Lest we forget how they ridiculed Bush unmercifully when he got sick, fainted and vomited on the Japanese prime minister in early 1992. Yet, today they’re putting him on a pedestal in order to attack President Trump. These people are truly POS!
It wasn’t very long ago that the left was accusing GHWB of groping women.
“Donald Trump is 180 from who George H.W. Bush is,”
I thank God for that.
Nothing like a media leading a putsch..
Paul Wellstone’s funeral set a new standard for Liberal behavior at these things.
Thank God for that. We need a MAN as president, not a kinder-gentler purse carrying wimp.

Hey! I guess even a blind pig finds an acorn of truth from time to time. President Trump is doing exactly what she says, dismantling everything the bushes and Obama did to this country. That is why we elected him!!!
