I've seen a Bush or two in my lifetime.

I saw Reagan and Bush senior in SoCal back in ‘88
Met Bush senior and his wife at his library at A&M, seemed really nice, there’s a small pond on the side of his presidential library and you could find him there doing some fishing now and then.
Saw W also at A&M.
This is how great this country is, that I have actually been to the WH. Where else can you do that?
Or have your representative (Cruz) fly your new American flag at the Capitol in your honor because you just became a citizen of this great country! My wife surprised me with the flag and a letter signed by him a month after I was sworn in!!

Bush 41 and Bush 43 in a hangar at BR Airport in 1992, the night before the election. Unfortunately, Clinton won.

Trump four times at the NRA Convention. Twice as president, once as nominee and the other he hadn’t announced yet.
I coulda met Clinton and W. but passed. Clinton hugged my sister.

First Bush as a kid and Trump as an adult, so two.

As in met?
One, but he wasn’t President at the time.
Joe Biden. He was with hefty Heflin when I met with him once.
Didnt take long to figure out he was one dumb idiot.

Nixon in 1972 at Senator Ellender’s funeral. Clinton at a rally in Memphis in 1996. Obama at a White House party in 2010. I also met Carter at a book signing after he left the White House

Bush 2 had a governor campaign office in my building in Dallas so I got within 10 feet of him once at the elevators
That was 1994, it was the Meadows Building on 75 below Lovers Lane, old building even in 1994

I saw Obama's motorcade from a distance outside of Crushing, Oklahoma some years back during his presidency.
They had roads blocked off like crazy and the convoy was hauling arse and never even touched the brakes, as if they understood BHO's lack of popularity around the Pipeline Crossroads of the World.
That's all I've got, other than seeing Trump's AF1 fly right over my truck as he was landing for a rally in Tulsa.
