CBS Sports ^ | August 3, 2016 | Reena Flores

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.

If Trump gets into office the full extent of the criminal activities of both the Clinton’s and Bush’s will be exposed.

A lot of people will be going to jail for a long time.

Who cares what Bush says to establishment elites at $2500 per person fundraisers?

Portman bears watching but he’s a mile better than Terry Strickland.

Great. Bush silent over Obama’s destruction of our country but climbs out from under his rock to bash Trump.

Hey George, the ‘Rats got it right. You ARE a ******* chimpanzee.

As much as I hate to admit, the Iraq War was a mistake.

Bush criticized recent trends toward "isolationism, nativism and protectionism"

And his criticisms of Obama were???????????

Still waiting, still waiting after seven and a-half years for few words of criticism of Obama who abandoned all W's policies and turned Iraq into a total failure that cost hundreds of thousands of innocent lives and displaced most of the Christians in Iraq.

W is pathetic, as are all the Bushes. W is the spoiled, shallow frat boy the Dims said he was in 2000. But, still, Gore would have been worse, at least by some amount.

He should write a book titled America Second since that’s what he believes. He’d sell one copy to Dana Perino.

Did not George W make some disparaging remarks about Trump early on the primary campaign? And we saw how that helped advance Donald.

I guess we need to encourage George to keep up the Bush Anti-Trump Rhetoric so Donald wins in a landslide.

Way to go, W.

You kept your fat mouth shut for eight years while Obama ran roughshod over America, and you talk about Trump?

Why don’t you go find Hillary and give her another hug?

And take Pop with you.
