Neither of them mentioned President Trump by name but two of his predecessors emerged from political seclusion on Thursday to deliver what sounded like pointed rebukes of the current occupant of the Oval Office and the forces of division that propelled him to power.

In separate and unrelated appearances, former Presidents George W. Bush and Barack Obama both warned that the United States was being torn apart by ancient hatreds that should have been consigned to history long ago and called for addressing economic anxiety through common purpose. While not directly addressing Mr. Trump, neither left much doubt whom and what they had in mind.

Mr. Bush, the last Republican to hold the White House, spoke out at a conference he convened in New York to support democracy, noting that America first had to “recover our own identity” in the face of challenges to its most basic ideals. While Mr. Trump seeks to raise barriers to trade and newcomers and lashes out at targets with relish, Mr. Bush defended immigration and free trade, denounced nationalism and bigotry and bemoaned what he called the “casual cruelty” of current public discourse.


The current administration could use a lesson in how to address the nation in a way that unites the nation instead of rambling off tweets and speaking from both sides of their mouth..

Yeah that's what we need the two men responsible for the last 16 years telling us what's wrong.

No...in fact it reminds me of why I voted for Trump!!! The Democrats, liberals and media are at war with us...have been for decades!! Its about time we have a fighter in Trump. We don't need any more "nice" guys like the Bush's. Remember where that got us?? How quickly people forget.

I agree but only up to some degree.

You have to call out the BS sometimes.

Granted, Trump has brought on some controversy all on his own. But he doesn't GAF and the poli board loves that.

Yeah, if there is one thing that I think of when I think of Obama, is that he's a uniter.

Are you really that stupid?

The very reason that a non-political, rogue like Trump was elected was because RINOs like Bush allowed America-hating Commies like Obama to corrupt Government at the highest level, destroy National unity and bring us to the brink of Secession Movements and talk of open revolt.

And Bush never said one damn word. He'd best get back to painting pictures and running with the soldiers. GW is a Globalist, like His Dad. The economy crashed on His watch...thanks to His Globalist Policy. Of the which Trump was elected to dismantle.

Screw that pair.

George W. Bush has no business pawning himself off as a "real leader"

The only way you could make me go listen to Obama or Bush is if they were in a casket
