Jenna and Barbara Bush Needed ‘Comfort’ After Trump’s Election Miss the ‘Softer Side’ of Politics
People ^ | 10-11-2017 | Sanda Soberjai Westfall and Tierney McAfee

The morning after Donald Trump defeated Hillary Clinton for the presidency, twins Jenna and Barbara Bush, 35, woke up together in Jenna’s bed (her husband, Henry Hager, was away), “filled with gratitude that we had each other for comfort,” they write in their upcoming joint memoir.

The divisiveness that marred the 2016 election—and how their profound connection as sisters was a force to lean on through that and other milestones in their lives—were key inspirations for the former first daughters’ book, Sisters First, out Oct. 24.

In the deeply personal, emotional and often funny book, the sisters, who called the White House home from 2001 to 2009, wax nostalgic about the administrations of America’s 41st president, (“Gampy” George H.W. Bush) and the 43rd (dad George W.), when D.C was a gentler place, while taking care not to fault only Trump for what Barbara calls today’s “belittling and demeaning” political dialogue. “I don’t think it can be blamed only on him,” Barbara tells PEOPLE in an at-home interview for this week’s new issue.

The Bush wenches are just slightly less entitled than Chelsea.

They need to find out more about their own family history. I suggest “Family of Secrets” by Russ Baker. It will make Trump look like a boyscout.

They probably needed some drugs and alcohol too.

I am disgusted! And disappointed. I knew Barbara was strange, but I thought Jenna had more sense.

Texas snowflakes. Didn’t know there was such a thing (except in Austin, of course).

Shut up and go away, Bush daughters!

I voted for your dad, and he ended up being a sorry disappointment. And in case you didn’t notice, his “civility” bought him nothing. The evil Rat Party attacked him constantly, gave no quarter.

We love our President Trump because he’s a fighter, a street brawler and a gladiator. He’s everything we hoped your dad would be but wasn’t.

Just go away.

The Bushes need to just declare that they are NWO stooges once & for all.

Clearly, they would have lost and the supreme court would have another liberal and all would have changed.

But they would be able to feel good that they were soft and gentle.

I still remember these two embarrassments at the GOP convention, giggling and talking about Sex & the City at the podium.... good lord... and some FReepers saying how “cute” they were. Ugggh!! I’ll hand it to Algore’s kids, they were light years ahead of GW’s in terms of promoting a “strong image” for their dad.
