Bush says Trump ‘makes me look pretty good’ by comparison
The Hill ^ | 03/06/18 | John Bowden

Posted on 03/06/2018 7:30:04 AM PST by fireman15

Former President George W. Bush often jokes that President Trump's administration makes his own former White House team look "pretty good," according to a Republican source. The former Republican president regularly knocks the current administration, a source close to the Trump administration told National Journal, unable to understand why the White House often seems to be in chaos. "Bush is often heard to remark, unable to stifle his trademark smirk: 'Sorta makes me look pretty good, doesn't it?' " the Journal reported. "He's shaking his head like everyone else wondering why they can't get their act together," the source added. "He wants the guy to succeed but thinks a lot of his problems are self-inflicted."

Whether you like Trump or not, the eleventh commandment exists for a reason.

George really can’t get over the fact that Trump destroyed his idiot brother in the primaries, and pointed out that GWB was President when 9-11 happened.

And, of course, in his teeny little mind, Trump is guilty of far worse than that because he doesn’t want free trade and open boarders.

I, too, regret voting for that cretin twice - just as I regret my votes for McCain and Romney (ugh - it makes me sick just to type that). NEVER AGAIN! NEVER, EVER, EVER AGAIN!

The Bushes are squishy-centrist, globalist iceholes. But I will admit that Obama made Bush look good by comparison.

Conservatives hope to retire the only Bush left in Texas politics today when “P”, JEB’s son, is defeated for a new term as head of the Land Commission in the primary today. He didn’t do his job for months in 2016 as he campaigned for his father and we didn’t miss him, so it’s obvious that agency should be shut down.

Confirms my suspicions about the Bushes as one-worlders.

“...make me loathe myself - for voting TWICE for that idiot...”

Don’t be too critical; given your choice he was definitely the lesser evil.

Sorry, Dub, but no.

The highlight of your presidency was your appearance on the Tower wreckage in New York. But you then you proceed to wage maintenance-level-aggression wars. You stayed silent as your successor besmirched and blamed you. Now you speak out against the next president who is righting the wrongs of your adversary, and fighting the wars you began, in a manner you were too cautious wage.

Don't kid yourself. Except for your immediate family, there is NOBODY who prefers you to the current president.

I loved this man and thought his handling of 9/11 was legendary. However, as more time goes by, I’m left with nothing but hatred for this douche and strongly believe he is part of the Cabal which leads me to question whether 9/11 was a huge false flag to heat up the Middle East. The fact that I am actually questioning whether a whacky conspiracy theory is true makes me hate W even more.
