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.
I can't say I am terribly surprised by this as Trump was a complete dick to Jeb during the primaries, and that must have certainly rubbed members of his family the wrong way.
Nothing will ever make up for George W. taking this country into unnecessary wars that cost the lives of hundreds of thousand, if not millions of innocent people.
However it would have at least demonstrated some character if he would have had the guts to vote for Hillary Clinton outright, instead of allowing Trump to get even one extra vote.
