Bush's remarks not limited to Trump

Posted October 26, 2017 1:00 am

Your Oct. 20 front page headline "Bush rebukes Trump politics" goes a bit beyond what former President Bush actually said. I and many others believe President Bush was really talking about a broader issue that would include such things as to why many people on the left are so angry and even violent about the policies that President Trump is promoting and following. We did not see or hear that during President Obama's presidency, even though we conservatives clearly had as much reason to do so as today's angry and obstructionist leftists. Your article from the Washington Post stated that President Bush's "message was interpreted as a rebuke of President Donald Trump's divisive leadership style." This interpretation comes only from the left. It is only the left, who cannot get over the fact that President Trump won the election, that is creating the divisiveness.
