George W. Bush: Trump Lacked the ‘Humility’ Necessary to be an Effective Leader

Former President George W. Bush said Sunday during an interview with “CBS Evening News” anchor Norah O’Donnell that he felt former President Donald Trump lacked the “humility” necessary to be an effective leader.

In the interview that aired on “CBS Sunday Morning,” O’Donnell said, “Though he has refrained from criticizing his successors, he told us there’s a clear difference between him and former President Donald Trump.”

Discussing Trump, Bush said, “I feel a responsibility to uphold the dignity of the office. I did then, and I do now. And I think it’s undignified to want to see my name in print all the time.”

He continued, “I think it basically sends a signal that I miss being famous and, you know, I want people to see me. Listen to me!  And, you know, I don’t. I really don’t.”

O’Donnell said, “So, you feel humbled by the office, it sounds like?”

Bush said, “Totally. To me, humility shows an understanding of self. It shows a belief in a higher power that is necessary to be an effective leader. And we were short of humility.”

O’Donnell clarified by asking, “In the last four years?”

Bush said, “Yeah, absolutely.”

Said the worst President, ever.  Should have just saved my gas and stayed home instead of voting for this guy twice.

Poor poor little Shrub.  I thought he was a young man of promise; but it appears he was a young man of promises.

What the hell do you know, monkey-man, about leadership -- or humility?  You sit in judgment of a man who accomplished more in four years than you have in your 74.

Here's your legacy, jackass:  First attack on US soil, killing more than 3,000 Americans, brought death and chaos to the Middle East, started our first multi-generational war, wasted trillions of American treasure and splashed American blood around the world in useless conflicts, crashed the economy and were disinvited to not one, but two, Republican National Conventions.

Oh, and you stopped drinking.  No word yet on the coke.

A measure from history.
During our formative decades we choose Adams, Jefferson, Madison and Monroe;
Men of character and vision who encouraged/permitted us to survive and prosper,
while our most recent decades have produced the likes of Bush and Trump, among
assorted buffoons, charlatans, frauds, hustlers and jackasses.
The Character of its Leaders/Citizens determine destiny for the nation/state as well
as its culture/society; so reflect a moment on the contrast between these individuals
and their impact on our reputation in the world and our sense of self.

This is the best we can do folks. This is what we have to offer. It's what our system produces: Garbage in, garbage out. If you have selfish, ignorant citizens, you're going to get selfish, ignorant leaders. Term limits ain't going to do any good; you're just going to end up with a brand new bunch of selfish, ignorant Americans. So, maybe, maybe, maybe, it's not the politicians who suck. Maybe something else sucks around here...

like, the public. Yeah, the public sucks. There's a nice campaign slogan for somebody: 'The Public Sucks. F*ck Hope.

What an ignorant post!  Even for you.

At the speed things are happening right now, you may look a bit foolish comparing "Bush and Trump, among assorted buffoons, charlatans, frauds, hustlers and jackasses".

GWB is a globalist and he may win the "visionary" game.  Question is only which quarter are we in right now?

You dragging President Trump into this thread ...  well, there you go again!   :laugh:

Whenever I start feeling a bit too full of myself I reflect back on what I did with my vote in 2000 and 2004. Makes me wanna break out my hair shirt.

Whatta loser this guy is.

Hmmm...........got your knickers in a knot about Trumpet??? How sad.
A large dose of reality about the Smirkster-in-Chief, devoid of character
and integrity, is very long overdue. Yet Plain People firmly grasp this.
