Barbara Bush said 'angst' over Trump caused heart problems, new book reveals
NBC, Mar 27, 2019

Barbara Bush so fiercely disliked President Donald Trump that she blamed him for what she called a heart attack and, by the end of her life, she no longer considered herself a Republican.

"I'd probably say no today," she told USA Today's Susan Page in an October 2017 interview on whether she was still a Republican.

Those were excerpts, released Wednesday, of an upcoming Bush biography by Page, who spoke with the former first lady extensively in the final months of her life. Bush died last April  and her husband, 41st President George H.W. Bush, died in November.

The book, "The Matriarch," detailed Barbara Bush's long-standing dislike for Trump, which went back decades. In diary entries from the 1990s, which the former first lady made available to Page, she described Trump as "greedy, selfish, and ugly." By 2016, she was "dismayed by the nation's divisions and by the direction of the party she had worked for, and for so long."

Hate destroys the vessel that carries it.

Hmmm... I hope we see what Babs wrote in her diary regarding baby Neil and Silverado.

So, this is what the media is digging up now that Mueller didn't properly destroy Trump?

@Right_in_Virginia

Now I am pissed at Trump for not showing up decades earlier,because make no mistake about it,Babs WAS the master mind behind the Bush Crime Family Dynasty.

"I'd probably say no today," she told USA Today's Susan Page in an October 2017 interview on whether she was still a Republican.

Gimme a break. The ONLY reason that family was ever Republican was because they wanted to run for office and all the Dim slots were already taken,so it was either run as a Republican or not run at all. IF they had been able to remain in the northeast after the treason conviction of Prescott Bush during WW-2 became known,you can be sure they would have been Dims

White trash with money is still white trash. Good riddance to both traitors.

Sounds like he refused to cut them in on a deal.

By 2016, she was "dismayed by the nation's divisions and by the direction of the party she had worked for, and for so long."

Yeah,and JEB being spanked by the voters for being the little bitch that he is had nothing to do with it,huh? Given that Boy Jorge and George Sr were out of the picture,and with Jebs loss meant they were down to Baby Brudder "Ah doan no nuttin bout no bankin" Bush being the next one in line and the Brown Bush Brigade still being a generation removed from power,it was over for her.

She was probably one of the most evil bitches of the 20th Century.

W convinced me that the Bushes never were republicans.

@jpsb

It was George Sr that convinced me. What a backstabbing bitch HE turned out to be!

[Sanguine]

I don't know what either of you are talking about.  All the Bushes are completely establishment Republicans.  Now if you had said that they were never conservative, that I could agree with.

[GrouchoTex]

So this is nonsense.
A local reporter here in Houston, well known, named Shara Fryer interview Barbara Bush right before the 2016 election.
Barbara Bush told Fryer that she thought Trump would win the presidency.
Fryer notes that Barbara said it without malice, just mater-of-fact style.
It didn't sound to Fryer like Bush was upset at all about the prospect.

Also, note that the person who wrote this article, also wrote the book, so there's a little bit of that going on here, as well.

Politics is not worth making oneself ill. I would have encouraged Mrs. Bush to read a book, visit with her grandchildren, play with the dogs - anything more productive than hating the president or any other person.

I agree with @jpsb  and @sneakypete. The R was a convenience.

Isn't that what GOP-E means?

Absolutely true, @Sanguine .  And there are a lot of those Rs that claim to be conservative in the government. It ain't a new thing. The Bushes weren't horrible people or monsters.

@berdie

You mean other than the treason for profit stuff,and pimping out the US military to Muslim nations in return for bags of cash thing,right?

[bigheadfred]

Isn't that what GOP-E means?

Yeah. Same as RINO. But I don't think of the Bush's as Americans.

And I'm sure that is something new that hasn't happened with any other president, from both parties?  Forgive me, I'm a cynic. @sneakypete

[skeeter]

The republican rank & file need to understand that there are a great many republican congresspeople in DC who belong to the party for NO other reason than the only available open seat happened to be in a republican district.

[sneakypete]

And I'm sure that is something new that hasn't happened with any other president, from both parties?  Forgive me, I'm a cynic. @sneakypete

@berdie

If it has,name them. Name ONE president that has gone into business with the Chinese after heading the CIA and being President. Name ONE President that basically rented out the US military to destroy our only ally in the Muslim world in order to strengthen Islamic fundamentalism.

Well, @sneakypete , you know I can't and don't intend to do an extensive study on it.:)

The point I am trying to make is that all politicians and presidents use their power ...even it it is with a foreign country. Can you prove this wrong?

@berdie

How many of them use their power for personal power and profits to the detriment of the country?

I realize you are trying to provide cover for the Bush Crime Family,but that's your problem,not mine.

Exactly.  She supposedly had such a large, warm and loving family and husband, why would she truly give a rat's pituti about Trump?

[TomSea]

This is like the civil war threads, been there, done that.... I don't think anyone is going to come out of this with a different opinion... everyone is welcomed to their views of course. I think a lot of us had high hopes for Dubya. I honestly do not know enough about HRW really, he was only one term and a lot of that time was devoted to Desert Storm.

I mean, now, I'm a bit older, maybe time moves quickly, it's hard to think we are having another election already next year.
