As MeidasTouch has reported Thursday morning, Trump amplified an attack on George W. Bush, reposting a Newsmax segment with host Greg Kelly attacking the former Republican president over speculation that he might endorse Kamala Harris.
MeidasTouch is now reporting on additional personal attacks in the video that was amplified by Trump on Truth Social.
Bush's Marine Helicopter Pilot
In his segment attacking Bush, Kelly blasted the more than 200 Bush, McCain, and Romney alums that have endorsed Harris. Kelly singled out some on the list for attack, including Daniel Connor, the helicopter pilot of Marine One who flew while serving the country as a Marine.
Having rose through the Marine Corps ranks, Connor piloted Marine One for both President George W. Bush and President Barrack Obama. Kelly essentially told the retired Marine to shut up about politics and to stick to flying instead:

I'm no fan of Bush but if Trump and company are going to continue to piss everyone off it's going to bite them on the ass.

(31,308 posts)when he left the WH he pretty much left his political career behind it seems to me. but i can see him voting for Kamala Harris. It's a plus that he has declined to publicly support TCFSF, though i don't know how much it matters to anyone.
i was so naive. i thought the republican party would dissolve after gwbush. omigawd was i wrong. instead it morphed into the maga cult while all the old time fascists saw their enduring dream of permanent minority rule coming true. i think their fatal mistake was acting on it too soon: robbing women of their rights, absolute immunity for TCFSF, and publishing Project 2025, among other bad acts. hmm. unintended consequences of being fascistic, racist, misogynistic and extreme in the 21st century.
We're not going back.

(1,250 posts)Somewhere near the end of the Eisenhower Administration when those Republican Nazis nominated Nixon, the entire Republican political party threw itself into the sewer. It has never found the bottom of the sewer. Always, it nominates the worst person as their candidate -- always -- and every election cycle an even worse person replaces their prior worst candidate.

(54,910 posts)if anything, for spite.
He MAY be a Christian (at least more than TSF), but he's known to be petty and spiteful. Plus, in his exaggerated sense of manhood, maybe he would push back on an attack on his daughter.
Plus, TSF insulted his brother, Jeb, as "low energy". While Shrub may have let that one go, stuff's piling up.
And BTW, Shrub "woke"? He's the one who mocked Karla Faye Tucker in 1998 when she pleaded for mercy and he let her be executed. Get real!
