George W. Bush opens up on Trump's war with the media, Russia and travel ban

In a wide-ranging interview that shied away from directly criticizing the current commander in chief, former President George W. Bush said it's critical for the media to hold accountable “people who abuse their power." He also said he favored an immigration policy that was more "welcoming."

1. I'm impressed. His vocabulary has improved.

5. Maybe he was dumbing it down for his followers for votes.

6. I think Bush was never really "dumb"

I mean graduating from Yale even as a C student requires SOME intelligence. But I think he knew that he needed to appeal to the future deplorables.

7. If you catch a clip of him speaking when governor he sounds like a different person

2. Sounds like the word may have been given

Getting the ducks in a row for President *45-B.

3. My head's exploding.....

Trump making Dubya look like a freaking genius. I got to go buy a lottery ticket.

4. I have no doubts about Bush loving America more than Russia... Benedict Donald not so much

8. My closet conspiracy theory is that Putin's primary goal was Jeb

Putin couldn't have really thought Trump had a shot to win. Yes you can manipulate the masses (in sure we have too in some places) but to that extent?

I think Putin wanted to knock Jeb off so the next generation of cold warriors were kept out of policy positions.

12. Pretty clever to hack Democrats to bring down Jeb Bush

In fact, even for a closet conspiracy theory, it's too clever by far.

9. Never thought I'd see a president that made Dubya look moderate and reasonable

Being out from under the thumb of Darth Cheney has done the man good.

10. Republcian need a wake up call

When you are not sure an independent prosecutor is needed is the turning point when an independent prosecutor is needed.

11. "When you've loss Dubya ..."

13. he was an awful president

But not personally a horrible person.

After 9-11 he fully embraced muslims and while there were still attacks on Muslims and others who "looked" muslim things could have been far worse without that.

14. he was not a bad guy and neither was his pop.

did they both do things i found morally problematic? yeah, but it was a bow to political expediency and not a manifestation of their essential character.
