Report: George W. Bush swipes at Donald Trump's foreign policy

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.

NO MORE BUSHES! Talk about pot calling the kettle black. Same Bush who botched one war and launched a war of choice. Both have resulted in thousands dead, tens of thousands scarred and trillions down Muslim rat holes.

I thought that he does not interfere in elections....at least that is what I was led to believe. Unless he was a closet globalist the whole time (which actually makes a lot of sense). These people are scared.

Golly, gee W where is your ‘compassion’... Was your call for ‘compassionate conservatism’ just for political purposes and now the real liberal in you is exposed.

Come on and live like the majority of US do... donate that ‘silver spoon’ you inherited and we ‘natural born’ conservatives kept over and over defending you against the very people you sleep and nuzzle with ... the Clinton Crime organization... Best to keep your pie hole shut as your legacy is not going to be recorded as ‘compassionate’ let alone ‘conservative’.

Trump hasn't been in charge of U.S. foreign policy like Mr. Bush and Ms. Clinton have. Just look at the globe burning to prove my point.

RINOS need to shut up, especially the Bushes. They are undermining the chance to get rid of the Clinton/Obama legacy...seems to be what they want.

Like I said, if you loved the W years, then vote for Hillary, because that’s what you’re going to get.

The Bushes are part of that legacy.
