George W. Bush not expected at White House event honoring his mother

Former president George W. Bush is not expected to attend a Thursday event at the White House honoring his late mother, two White House officials familiar with the plans told The Washington Post.

First lady Melania Trump is hosting the event in the East Room, where she will unveil a postage stamp honoring former first lady Barbara Bush, the wife of President George H.W. Bush. Other Bush family members and friends are expected to attend, Trump’s office said.

Attendees include Doro Bush Koch, George W. Bush’s younger sister who is listed as one of several featured speakers at the unveiling, and Alice Yates, chief executive of the George and Barbara Bush Foundation. A spokesperson for Bush did not respond to a request for comment.

Bush has kept his distance from President Donald Trump politically for years — he did not endorse Trump during any of his three presidential runs — while nonetheless congratulating Trump on his victories and attending both his inaugurations. Bush did not cast a ballot for Trump in 2016, and said that in 2020 he wrote in the name of his former secretary of state and national security adviser, Condoleezza Rice.

Bush and his wife, former first lady Laura Bush, attended Trump’s inauguration ceremony four months ago, but did not stay for the luncheon.

Trump, before and after he became president, has criticized Bush on several occasions.

As this seems to be a First Lady event it seems appropriate that Pickles will attend and George the 2nd not be there. However, if the Donald was in the forefront W should be there.

This sounds very petty on the part of GWB.
Also sounds very typical of the Bush Family.

Maybe George and Obama can get together and commiserate about their mothers. I'm sure George would like to see some nude photos of Barry's mother Ann Dunham.

Dubya is now rehabilitated by the MSM but if you remember, he was hated by the Left for the entire presidency.

Yep - Dubya kept moving Left because that’s what he truly wants for a legacy

Not a surprise, given his roots

Thanks for the link. I read the comments, and added my own. This is it:

Amazing that this was filmed in the auditorium of the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier...the same exact spot they complained about in August 2024, when President Trump, along with Gold Star family members paying honor to their loved ones...the 13 fallen Marines, who were victims of Biden's horrendously-handled withdrawal from Afghanistan. The media, Kamala Harris and DemoRATS were upset that photos were taken during the ceremony, claiming it was a political stunt. Yet, nobody said "Boo" when the three dunces in this video played politics at the same tomb to push the Covid jabs on innocent Americans.
