President Trump in a new book reportedly takes aim at Republican leaders including former President George W. Bush and the late Sen. John McCain (Ariz.).
In the book, "American Carnage: On the Front Lines of the Republican Civil War and the Rise of President Trump," by Politico Magazine chief correspondent Tim Alberta, Trump said he "brought the [Republican] Party back" after it was in "big trouble," Axios reported early Wednesday.
Trump reportedly attributed the party's previous failures to his predecessors, including Bush, who "caused tremendous division ... tremendous death and tremendous monetary loss" during his presidency by focusing on foreign operations instead of boosting the domestic economy.
Trump also told Alberta that McCain, who died of brain cancer last August and repeatedly feuded with the president during his time in the White House, hurt his 2008 presidential campaign when he told laid-off Midwestern workers that some of them wouldn't get their jobs back, Axios reports.

“Reagan should never have trusted the Bushes”
It used to be that Freepers who dared criticize W Bush got royally flamed, or worse.
As there was very little in the article and were probably accurate, I have no trust in the honest of a leftist author employed by Politico in quoting anything President Trump may or may not have said.
One of W’s first acts was to give Ted “The Swimmer” Kennedy the job of writing the Education Bill.
I lost all confidence in W...and it just got worse over time. He was a total disaster for the Republic.
The Bush family is pure evil.
Neither Trump nor Babe Ruth nor Mickey Mantle could smack either one of those losers upside the head hard enough for me.
Swing away, Donald!
What a difference a decade and a half makes!
Reagan should never have trusted the BushesIf Reagan hadn't brought the Bush clan aboard, the GOP would have turned his campaign into Goldwater, Act 2.
The Gipper's mistake was not getting a new running mate for the 1984 election.
That's why we need to throw ALL INCUMBENTS OUT!
