Former Republican President George W. Bush is reportedly not supporting President Donald Trump for reelection in 2020, people familiar with his thinking told the New York Times.
Bush is just one of many well-known Republican politicians who do not plan to vote for Trump, the NYT reported. Bushs brother, former Republican Florida Gov. Jeb Bush, is reportedly on the fence regarding who he will give his vote to, people familiar with his thinking noted, according to the NYT.
It is not immediately clear why Bush wont vote for Trump in 2020. The presidents response regarding recent police brutality protests and how he has handled the novel coronavirus pandemic are reportedly reasons why some prominent Republicans wont be backing Trump.

Other Republicans who reportedly wont be voting for Trump this year include Utah Sen. Mitt Romney, Arizona Sen. John McCains widow Cindy McCain, and former Secretary of State Colin Powell, the NYT reported. Powell has been vocal about not backing the current president, saying on CNNs State of the Union Sunday that he cannot in any way support President Trump this year.
It is not known yet if the Republicans opposing Trump plan to vote for the presumptive Democratic nominee Joe Biden. (RELATED: Bush Office Thanks Trump For Support Amid State Funeral)
Freddy Ford, a spokesman for Bush, said he will not be involving himself in the 2020 election, the NYT reported. Bush only plans to speak on policy issues, such as when he recently noted that America has to examine our tragic failures regarding race.
Trump is the “Third Party”.
This shows how much class Nancy Reagan had as First Lady. She would never invite the Bushes to the White House for a private dinner and she knew what a nasty harpy Barbara Bush was and continued to be. To their credit, the Reagans refused to put the Bushes on the guest list for the White House dinner for Princess Diana and Prince Charles; apparently these losers were always bitter over these snubs afterward and when Read My Lips Bush was inaugurated, Barbara Bush, showing her total lack of class or gratitude, made several obnoxious remarks in thinly disguised code about Nancy Reagan. You dance with the one that brung you, and Read My Lips and the missus would have been nowhere but for the Reagans.
AANNDD the sky is blue.
The Bushs are Swamp People, Deep Staters. They are Never Trumpers to the core. Same with Romney, the other non-elected government trough feeders. Screwem....
Beware of Fake News. I saw a statement on Twitter that basically denied this.
Bush has never made any effort to rein in alumni of his admin and their insane attacks on POTUS. I have no doubt he is not supporting POTUS in 2020.
Principal proponents of this were the Bushes and oh what's his name - Mittens Romney.
And in the name of Social Justice both want the guy who is trying to reverse that and bring productive economic enterprise back to America.
They are products of the perfection of the ruling trifecta - socialism, globalism and crony capitalism.
And they can take their globalist deepstate scum like Kelly, Mattis and Powell with them
Bush was always hated by everyone on the Left. Now he wants to be hated by the rest of America as well.
His goal is to be the most hated man in America.
Well done George!
No Bushes ever. George P, you’re toast to me.
Romney=Bain Capital = Globalism = miring the underclass in hopelessness = corporate cronies making league with race pimps paid for with taxes on the middle class.
1”It sometimes embarrasses me that I voted for this swamp creature, but given the choice of him or Al Gore, it really wasnt a difficult decision.”
Same here. Given new information, you should always consider the source and recalibrate your own mind. Information coming from the horse’s mouth is always best.
These are symptoms, death throes, and indicators of the demise of the GOPe Olde Guard which has aligned with and protected Deep State Operators and fealty to the left.
Romney=Bain Capital = Globalism = miring the underclass in hopelessness = corporate cronies making league with race pimps paid for with taxes on the middle class.
BUMP!
Reminds me of when the Social Democratic and the Communist Party united in the former East Germany to become The “Socialist Unity Party”.
That’s basically the GOP and the Democrats before Trump came along.
Thats whats called cutting off your nose to spite your face. And to think that defended him when they called him Stupid Chimp.
I awoke from my George Bush stupor over 2 things.....although in retrospect there were many many more signs.
Those 2 things....
1-....Ill see you at the signing....
...in tears, my woke self made countless calls to DC to stop this.
From what I understand, the American citizens jammed the phone lines
2-Ramos and Campean
...Border Patrol agents who were doing their job.....and instead of the Mexican Cartel drug dealer going to jail ( after they shot him....DID NOT KILL HIM.....)
...Ramos and Compean went to jail!!!!
Google the story!
I regret voting for Bush, McCain and Romney. And I do not know that I believe Bush was any better than Gore would have been.
He released a statememt yesterday sayimg that these reports are false, fwiw.
I regret voting for those 3 as well, but at least we were smart enough to not vote for a democrat.
Typical wussie Bush, can’t take the heat.
But we know where his sympathies lie.
Where did Bush make a statement? Last tweet is six days ago and about George Floyd.
