Bush: It’s Hard to Unify the Country With the News Media Being So Split Up

In an appearance Monday on NBC’s “Today,” former President George W. Bush was asked by show host Matt Lauer about President Donald Trump’s pledge to unify the nation.

“First of all, there’s only within been one month in office — you know, he’s got four years,” he said. “Secondly, I think you have to take the man at his word that he wants to unify the country. We’ll see if he’s able to do so. It’s hard to unify the country with the news media being so split up. When I was president, you mattered a lot more because there were three of you. And now, there’s all kinds of information being bombarded out. And people can say things anonymously. And it’s just a different world.”

When asked if he ever considered the media to be an “enemy” of the people, as Trump had alleged, Bush stressed the importance of the media to hold those in power accountable.

  4. W was only a rhino anyway, 4:22, which is why he never commented anything during Obummer's presidency. W was actually quite liberal, just like his Daddy. It's about time we finally have a Good Conservative in the White House so that us Good American's can finally Take Back Our Country!
