Trump on George W. Bush: 'Ask yourself why he went silent all these years'
(Excerpt) Read more at mobile.twitter.com ...
Maybe he went silent, as was the time honored custom of all Presidents IN THE PAST out of consideration for the difficult job those following them had, to remain silent and let them do their job.
A custom that was broken by the Rat Bastard Jimmy Carter, and every other Democrat Rat Bastard President, but has been maintained unilaterally by every Republican President.
Maybe that is why Ex-President Bush has been silent?
Because he’s not a boorish blowhard like Trump.
I think George W. Bush kept his mouth shut for years because he understood that the election of a jug-eared exchange student from Kenya was a thorough repudiation of him and his entire administration.
He gets out of the way and lets the next president take over the role of President. He does not interfere or cause problems with the admin running the country. In other words, he knows when to keep his BIG MOUTH SHUT. Unlike THE TANGERINE MAN, Donald Trump.
You Trumpanzees and your candidate do not understand "class" and never will.
Um, because after the crash and eight years of destroying anyone in his own party who showed the remotest aptitude for posing a threat (which is to say anyone with leadership potential) everyone hated his butt?
Trump’s right, we can’t go back to that.
Didn’t keep him and his father from making nice nice with the former rapist president
Now watch as the same people that loathed W since 2005 now embrace him as one of their favorite presidents.
Leaving office at 26% approval tells you a whole lot. Losing the house and senate in 2006 gave us Obamacare.
The rantings of a lunatic narcissist with the maturity of a 8 yr old.
LMAO.
Once the tradition was broken, GWB allowed himself to be defined by his opponents. This pattern was not confined to his status as a former President; as President, he allowed Democrats to savage him without mounting a defense.
For W to finally appear in a Quixotic defense of his hapless brother’s faltering campaign, it is a true measure of the desperation felt by Jeb and the rest of the Bush clan.
What an idiot, why did Reagan go silent when he left office too?
Its called being presidential and letting someone else have their time in office. It is something that anyone would do if they are respectful of the office of President.
Something the Democrats don’t know how to do unless it is a Democrat in office.
Class?
Trumpanzees ? You're right, with a remark like that, apparently I don't understand "class".
4 Days.
I am glad you think it was classy for GWB to embrace the Clinton’s.
Class? Are you kidding me?
Oh please.
Class has nothing to do with it. He was grossly unpopular. He didn’t even speak at the last convention!
You sure didn’t find people on FR saying many kind things the past few years, and you don’t see anyone rushing to embrace his brother either. All of this newly found love for him is phony.
You should not refer to Glenn Beck like that.
This is so eloquent -- and funny.
The Bushes would be the first folks to drop the black ball in the glass on your admission to their social club, or sailing club or building co-op. If your name is there in the Blue Book, they are your people. If not, you are the proletariat.
You can call elitism “class” but we know who they really are.
