T rump Is a ‘Blowhard,’ ‘I Don’t Like Him’ and I Voted for Hillary, George Bush Says in New Book
Update | 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.

Trump, who started his first trip to Asia as president on Friday, shot back in a statement that the Iraq War was “one of the greatest foreign policy mistakes in American history,” and challenged both Bushes legacies and effect on the GOP.
“If one Presidential candidate can disassemble a political party, it speaks volumes about how strong a legacy its past to presidents really had,” the statement to CNN on Saturday read . “And that begins with the Iraq war, one of the greatest foreign policy mistakes in American History. President Trump remains focused on keeping his promises to the American people by bringing back jobs, promoting America First foreign policy and standing up for the forgotten men and women of our great country.”
He's probably right about the second Iraq War, loathe as I am to agree with Donald Trump.
So maybe he should consider more carefully his words and actions before he ends up starting a war with North Korea.
Yes, should.
He should-- but he probably won't
The damage he can and probably will do on this current trip is frightening.
The comments were striking since former U.S. presidents traditionally avoid criticism of the White House incumbent but Donald Trump’s ascension changed that tradition.
The Bushes also made a not-so-veiled statement following President Trump’s comments in the wake of the deadly Charlottesville, Virginia, protest in August.
"America must always reject racial bigotry, anti-Semitism, and hatred in all forms,” their joint statement read, according to CNN . “As we pray for Charlottesville, we are reminded of the fundamental truths recorded by that city's most prominent citizen in the Declaration of Independence: we are all created equal and endowed by our Creator with unalienable rights," they said in a joint written statement on Wednesday. "We know these truths to be everlasting because we have seen the decency and greatness of our country."
Is this the beginning of the end of the Republican Party?
Just two more Rino's coming out of the closet.... (and I was a part of the first Bush's staff, and there were a lot more like me than there were his idea of a republican)
SI had thought that Steve Bannon was working on getting rid of a few Republican senators-- McCain, Flake, Lindsay Graham, Mitch McConnell, ...maybe Susan Collins.
But than I saw that Bannon want to get rid of every single current Republican Senator (except for Ted Cruz).
I wonder, does Bannon really think all Republican Senators except one are RINOs?
What do you expect.
They're still butt--hurt from the shellacking he gave Jeb.
Wow.....Trump has all the politician types on the defensive.

Your point on the good part ?
Morning 9mil, donut?
Going to do some shooting this afternoon?
My ex-army brother just bought a handgun. When I looked sideways at him he assured me that he didn't walk around with it on him! He shoots it at the range. He is kind of bulky and slow so he didn't do well at the physical stuff in the army but he excelled at the shooting despite having only shot a gun once or twice before enlisting. It's a hobby he decided to pick up now that he's retiring.
And some are NOT responsible enough to carry but do anyway...
Morning XD...
I am going to butt in for only a moment -
Many States have lil to NO requirements for a Concealed Carry permit .. Montana being one of them. I have had my permit for many years (rarely carry around home, but always when traveling) I shot competitive pistol for years, was allowed to do tactical training at the old police academy in the late 80's .. even then I carry cautiously ...... my neighbor gal just took the course and passed ... some scary shit thinking about her carrying!
So with all that said -- not everyone should carry.
Point taken XD... was not implying that rights should be infringed upon - although I will be asking if she is carrying before I go to town with my neighbor
It is a bit scary when the officers in NYC cannot hit the side of a barn .. I have heard tell of trigger pulls being too heavy etc - firing like 10 shots and one hits the perp is not a badge of honor for a World class police department.. in my opinion
Sorry for the delay XD .. it is Sunday, had to make brunch -
french toast, bacon and hash browns!
The Sig P226 is the only weapon I have personal experience with, it is a nice weapon, but a 9mm and .40 with a 12 pound pull ... there is no squeezing the trigger for sure, may as well use the weapon to smack the bad guy up long side the head (seems to me).
I like my .40 S&W (Christmas gift from my dad) (not so) lil man got a S&W 9mm for his birthday (grandpa did it : ) If I was an officer on the streets of NYC think I would want a .45. My .45 is a Thompson Auto Ordinance, all customized for competition (my dad once agian : )
Sorry for going so far off topic, but thank you for the information XD
Ever notice that 14 of trumps, "A" team have either resigned, been fired or are heading for prison? So much for trumps "extreme vetting".
And "hiring the best people."
Trump Fired folks !
How 'bout those Obama toys that had to leave for ..... shall we say.....indiscretions ?
Bet you were worried about what they DID, instead of them just having to leave your favs cabinet ! Didn't you blame FOX for Obama's toys departures ?
The "left" ALWAYS has an excuse for their failures ! From what I've seen, they even ha
Trump just goes after EVERYONE that thinks they are set in stone in congress.
It's GREAT to "SEE" for a "Change" !
Old school GOPers, always on the cutting edge of public sentiment. Maybe a bit too late to put a positive spin on 43's end of the family legacy though.
Liberals are gushing over this book but suddenly they can't seem to remember who Donna Brazile is.
Funny how that works.
Well, at least he didn't beat around the Bush!
