Former President George W. Bush swiped indirectly at Donald Trump's "America first" foreign policy philosophy at a fundraising event Tuesday, the Wall Street Journal reported.

Without specifically naming the Republican nominee, Bush criticized recent trends toward "isolationism, nativism and protectionism" in a discussion with approximately 400 guests. Bush made the disapproving comments at a private fundraiser in Cincinnati for Ohio Sen. Rob Portman, which raised $1 million in one day, according to a Portman spokesperson.

What happened to the days when ex presidents didn't second guess candidates or current presidents?

Show some class George.

Eight years and not one peep about Obama from Bush. Trump isn’t even elected yet and he is running his yap.

Oh how the mighty have fallen.

Bush turned the country over to a Marxist usurper without a peep. He is responsible for Obama and the immense damage done to our country.

Yes, that word ‘dhimmitude’...did you ever understand how a President of the USA could hold hands with the Saudi royalty? How did Bush get so close to the Saud? I see Obama bowing low to third world leaders and dictators, which is shocking to see in a President. If Hillary wins, I doubt she'd bow to anyone!
