Trump Stresses About Rumored Bush Endorsement of Harris



Ron Filipkowski
At 1:37 AM, Trump was stressing out about something he fears greatly - a rumored imminent endorsement of Kamala Harris by George W. Bush.


Trump Stresses About Bush Endorsement of Harris

He was posting in the wee hours of the morning.


While hundreds of former staffers of Republican presidential nominees George W. Bush, Mitt Romney and John McCain have already endorsed Kamala Harris, it appears the endorsement that hasn't happened YET is the one Trump fears the most:

George W. Bush

It has been clear for a while now that Bush is no fan of Trump. He has never endorsed him, held a fundraiser for him, appeared with him, or campaigned with him. But Bush has also not done anything to publicly and openly rebuke Trump either. He has simply remained silent while many of his most senior aides and officials have already endorsed Harris.

But that could change soon, and Trump is definitely worried about it.

Newsmax host and Trump loyalist Greg Kelly ran a segment last night where he addressed rumors that a Bush endorsement of Harris may be imminent. Trump obviously saw it, and was concerned enough to post Kelly's segment trashing Bush at 1:37 AM today.

I don't care how frenetically people try to rehabilitate the image of George W. Bush. I haven't forgotten what a thin-skinned, petty little asshole his is, and what a colossal failure he was as President. One of the biggest failures of which was his insistence on having the much more evil Dickhead Cheney run the show.

Sure, like everyone else, I think Dubyah's schoolboy crush on Michelle Obama is cute. But it doesn't change a thing.

has kept a really low profile.

He's good friends with the Obamas so maybe Michelle can influence him.

And someone like GWB knows exactly who and what Trump is, so silence is complicity.

It would be the height of hypocrisy for bushthief to endorse the orange turd. They're 2 rotten peas out of the same rotten rich pod. The orange turd is using the election theft road map that bushthief created in Florida in 2000. bushthief's all out assault on American democracy in Florida in 2000 must never be forgotten.

He really has nothing to lose, but we'll see.

Before he was the laziest president now he’s tfg took that prize.

When dub was the Texas governor he spent a lot of time at his ranch. Nothing changed when he became president. Tfg brought that game to a whole new level.

That was a Karl Rove idea. Buy some acreage and go there for staged political events for the media to consume. He looks so manly with his chainsaw. People bought it and ate it up.

He used to use the old house as a backdrop and had a shed the media would stand near to. But his actual house was a new modern house with massive about 20 foot tall windows. The old house he rented out to his secret service people. Yet when he had the press out there here came dub, Cheney, and Rumsfeld walking out of it to talk to them acting like that’s where he lived at.
