Trump Is a ‘Blowhard,’ ‘I Don’t Like Him’ and I Voted for Hillary, George Bush Says in New Book
Newsweek ^ | November 4, 2017 | Greg Price

Both former President Bushes had choice words for current President Donald Trump in a new book scheduled to be published later this month, with the elder Bush reportedly calling the billionaire commander-in-chief a “blowhard” and flatly stating he does not “like” him.

Presidents George Bush and George W. Bush, the 41st and 43rd top executives respectively, spoke to author Mark K. Updegrove for the book “The Last Republicans.” It detailed the relationship between the father-and-son presidents and how they were fretful of what Trump had done to the Republican Party.

Furthermore, both ex-presidents admitted they did not vote for Trump. The elder Bush pulled the lever for Democrat Hillary Clinton while the younger told Updegrove he voted for “none of the above.”

“I don’t like him,” George Bush said in May 2016 according to a The New York Times on Saturday. “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.

George W. Bush took umbrage with Trump’s divisive brand of political machinery, a common accusation the current president faced along the campaign trail as throughout his first year in office.....

An inconvenient truth for some on the right, but it is indisputably true that neither Bush was anything close to being a conservative. We have confirmed their true colors since they left office.

And adios to Jeb as well.

Considering the bushes paved the way for Clinton and Obama and were neo cons, I’d say this is a vote of confidence.

GWB was the last of the Grand OLD Party Presidents. That party is dead.

Let’s just hope he was the last of the UNIPARTY Presidents as well.

The Bush Family seems to have only two goals: 1) turning the United States into the northernmost state of Mexico; 2) imposing the neocon agenda. Why don’t they just all move to Mexico. Please, just go. Adios. Once they are there, let’s get that wall built so they can’t come back.

“I really wish we had nominated someone else in 2000 “

Most people felt that way then. They anointed Little W, just like they tried to anoint Yeb.

This very much reminds me of the thread Lazamataz wrote a couple of years ago about the People versus the Elites.

As he so aptly described, “the American People” versus “the global elites” is the TRUE dividing line in today’s American politics—not the dem versus GOP.

That’s why the Bushes hate Donald Trump. That’s why the NEVERTRUMPERS exist as they do. That’s why the Swamp is so hard to drain. That’s why the Justice Department is going after the gnat of Russian collusion in Donald Trump’s eye versus the C-5 Galaxy cargo plane of corruption, murder and scandal in Hillary Clinton’s eye.

Laz, you should update and repost that thread! Please!

This is another example of why the guy, who bid 1$ for Newsweak and bought it, paid too much for it!

I'll bet not one US Senator voted for Trump. Not one.

If I were to guess if any did it would be Paul and/or Cruz.

While I can’t bring myself to say I regret voting for W, I do wonder now given all that has come to light just how different the GWB administration was from what a Gore administration or a Kerry administration would have been. They’re clearly all cut from the same cloth.

I was guarding then Vice President Bush’s plane and motorpool at the Des Moines airport at night while working for Al Haig during the day.
