Full Title: George W. Bush won't agree with Trump's view of reporters as 'the enemy' as he says 'power is addictive' and 'we need an independent media to hold people like me to account'

Is there anyone more clueless than this dolt?

[I want the USA back]

The media treated W unfairly. A normal person would hate them.

[Parmy]

Is that why he let Donaldson, Rather and others trash him for 8 years? What a pathetic person?

[A CA Guy]

Even Bush never had reporters so out as for the DNC.
Wisdom has evaded W in his older age.

[Dilbert San Diego]

And Bush also said that we need freedom to worship, etc. and indicated opposition to Trump’s exec order / travel ban from certain countries. What freedom of religion has to do with a travel ban escapes me.

Or is Bush going liberal on us in his old age?

[BlueStateRightist]

The entire Bush family has been very bad for the country. The complete repudiation of Jeb in the primaries indicates most of us know this fact.

[knarf]

He's learned how to speak to the press about the press.

I heard him and I don't take any points away for the remark.

Do you think they would have aired a Trump positive remark ?

[ObozoMustGo2012]

[Family Guy]

He didn't say a word during the entire Obama presidency and now he's trashing President Trump.

[choctaw man]

The Bush family is on the other team.

Those promoting fake news ARE the enemy.

Just as the father of lies is the enemy.

[NorthMountain]

'I think power can be very addictive, and it can be corrosive, and it's important for the media to call to account people who abuse their power, whether it be here or elsewhere.'

And who will call to account "MEDIA" people who abuse their power?

You certainly didn't, and that was one of your worst failings as President.

I do it; but nobody listens to me.

Donald Trump does it, and speaks for me when he does so.

[pinkandgreenmom]

He is an idiot. So is the rest of his family.

[Texas Eagle]

So, Bush is okay with “reporters” fabricating military documents like his Air National Guard discharge papers?

[GrandJediMasterYoda]

What is he crazy? Of COURSE they are the enemy of the people! When any “journalist” or editor willfully promotes a lie whose sole purpose it to harm the country, then damn straight that person is an enemy of the people. When they promote the lie that vetting Muslims coming from terror producing countries is “racism” or “homophobia”, what does GW think the end result of that is? These people are insane, they want anybody to just waltz right in here which puts the people in direct danger!

30,376 terror attacks committed by Muslims in the name of Islam since 911!! Every freakin’ day all over the world in just about any country terror attacks are happening committed by MUSLIMS!

Look at this list for example....This is from just the past month alone...........

Odd that he kept silent during obama’s entire presidency under that excuse that being president was hard enough.

[wiseprince]

Wow... Didn’t hear from him in 8 years and here he is to show his displeasure with Trump. Go away!

[Huskrrrr]

The media played Dubya like a fiddle.

[onedoug]

Thank God this saudi hand-holder is out.

[txrefugee]

Said the man who let the Democrat media beat up on him every day and was not man enough to defend himself. As a result, his approval rating was around 35% at the end of his second term, with both Democrats and Republicans branding him a failure.

[McGavin999]

I lost respect for W because of the way he let the media run all over him. He would go into hedgehog mode and just take the hits.
