George H.W. Bush, George W. Bush bash Donald Trump

Maybe it was that whole “low energy” thing.

In surprisingly undiplomatic terms for elder statesmen, George W. Bush and his father, George H.W. Bush, bash President Trump in a soon-to-be released book. While both of the former presidents vowed when they left office not to speak ill of their successors — a pledge they’ve kept for the most part — there’s just something aboutDonald J. Trump that they can’t stand.

Bush the elder, 93, was blunt, even crass, calling the president of the United States — a fellow Republican — a “blowhard.”

“I don’t like him,” Bush the Old said in May 2016, according to the upcoming book “The Last Republicans,” written by Mark Updegrove. “I don’t know much about him, but I know he’s a blowhard. And I’m not too excited about him being a leader.” Rather than being motivated by public service, Mr. Bush said, Mr. Trump seemed to be driven by “a certain ego.”

Senile and useless.
Responsible for the Middle East being in such chaos.
Also responsible for all the men and women who came back missing arms and legs and eyes and other parts because he wanted revenge for the attempt on his father's life.
He should be in hiding instead of running his elitist mouth.

No cheering for him.

Elder Bush has dementia. Barbara should take him out of the public spotlight like Nancy did for Ronnie. Barbara should stop allowing old man George to speak to the public, and simply allow him to fade away into the sunset of his life. Anything he says now just diminishes his many accomplishments during his extraordinary life. His disabilities are harming his legacy. Lock him up in his NorthEast mansion and pamper him until he dies. It will be better than allowing him to continually embarrass hinself, and his legacy.

Elder Bush is just a dirty old man. Him and Bill have a lot more in common than what people realize. And they are both just butt hurt about baby brother Jeb 😂

The answer to this is simple. The Bush family are globalists. Bush Sr first reveal it in 1991 at the State of the Union address about his plans for a 'New World Order'. Remember?

The Bushes and Clintons are allies in their fight towards wealth redistribution and globalist agenda (which fowards the redistribution) so they're two peas in the same pod.

Would say, it would be a stellar idea to take away all their details, retirement pay, etc, and let them live like the 'regular' people. Why not? It would serve them right as they were at such a disservice to us. Why should we pay for their upkeep?

Why do taxpayers have to foot the security bill for multi-millionaires?
WE, the people are told to just TAKE the ass whipping and be glad you weren't killed.
They get a small army of killers with the latest weaponry with the authority to KILL YOU for merely getting too close to them.
The clintons and bush's don't need our money, but in true political form, they will gladly take it.
TWO SETS OF LAWS.

You can't stop cheering.
