A call by former President George W. Bush for humanity to jettison partisanship amid the Chinese coronavirus pandemic has drawn a sharp rebuke from President Donald Trump.
Bush published a video message on Saturday urging unity and togetherness amid the coronavirus’ outbreak, which received 4.4 million views on Twitter as of Sunday morning.
Bush’s plea amounted to a call for people to ignore partisanship to protect the most vulnerable and to assist those who have become unemployed.

The president’s (Trump's) response was straight to the point, outlining Bush’s absence when Trump was being excoriated during his impeachment proceedings.
“.@PeteHegseth “Oh bye the way, I appreciate the message from former President Bush, but where was he during Impeachment calling for putting partisanship aside. @foxandfriends He was nowhere to be found in speaking up against the greatest Hoax in American history!” Trump tweeted.

Yes...he grabbed W by the bush.
All former presidents should keep their pie holes shut.
Unity, as a concept, is overrated.
Nazi Germany was “Unified”.
No other President has had to follow an enemy agent in the White House who had corrupted every agency during his usurpation.
Democrats went after Trump right out of the Corona gate!
The Donald should want to appear conciliatory and statesmanlike when compared to the bottom-feeders making up the Democrats.
Trump divides and unites on the one issue also, PATRIOTISM.
Please note, I am not calling Trump Jesus, just that it is a good strategy.
GWB...as clueless as ever.
So you voted for a Dukakus, a Gore and.a Kerry?
He was loved here on this site during his Presidency. Now not so much. To me he is just another bleating ex pres like Carter, Clinton and 0. He’d be fine to me now if he had continued to keep his yap shut but as noted by the current POTUS he is very selective in his public pronouncements. My first inkling the Bush clan wasn’t all kosher was an attack by the matriarch Barbara on Sarah Palin. Since then for the last 12 years it’s been a steady downhill slide for them. Frankly it would be better if they just disappeared from the public scene but they pop up to continuously remind us that they’re on the dark side now.
‘Always remember, the Bush’s are in the club. President Trump is not a club member......’
Exactly. And, that’s why they hate him.....and why we love him!
“...during the Trump years all the Bushs have revealed themselves to be deep state swamp denizens...”
I stopped kidding myself about the Bushes when they honored Bill Clinton with some sort of award.
Nice response Mr. Trump to George Wussie Bush.
The political class sees us as herds to be managed. The D/R divide is too often a distinction without a difference - denoting nothing more than whatever costume is needed to credibly steal a particular election.
You and I and tons of others KNOW that's not how Trump operates. "Working together" is not going to work if it only goes one way. As Bush's two terms aptly demonstrated.
Since day 1 in 2015, Trump's modus operandi has been that he'll respond in kind if you attack him/his family/his circle extended family (i.e. Deplorables).
Besides, Trump tweeted he APPRECIATEd Bush's message. Trump did not attack him, only sarcastically asking where Bush's been.
“Bipartisanship” is used to mean decent Americans giving the globalist left half of what they demand now - and then giving America’s socialist enemies half of what they demand next year, and again the year after that. No, thank you.
Yep. Bush killed more in his Middle East wars than COVID. He needs to STFU.
I love the way President Trump puts these RINO assholes in their place. Love It!
Bush never stood up to defend himself, let alone expecting him to defend anyone else.
He’s probably the last guy you want in the foxhole with you.
The funniest thing is that Carter thought he was in “the club” when they were against Trump. Carter should have had more sense but... hope reigns eternal. The club is despicable thing to belong to because it is a club of fraudsters, sex fiends and stupidity. Trump has America as his club and that regenerates him and gives him a greater dignity and purpose than these elitist clowns.
