George W. Bush launches a Presidents’ Day attack on the POTUS

 WOW! I didn’t ever think anyone could be worse than George W. Bush and the Bliar Weapons of Mass Destruction debacle (and from whom I got the term ‘Merkins’ - George W Bush “Mah Fellow Merkins!” sorry chaps) but this is worth a read! He knocks into a cocked hat ( as the saying goes’?!) the dreadful Donnie Jay Drumpf

BREAKING: George W. Bush launches a Presidents’ Day attack on Trump just by praising George Washington’s integrity. 

When even former president George W. Bush is subtly lecturing you about humility, you know you’ve got a problem. 

In a Presidents’ Day message that practically glowed with side-eye, the 43rd president took to Substack to praise George Washington’s character, restraint, and willingness to give up power — and somehow managed to do it without naming Donald Trump once.  

He didn’t have to. 

Bush reminded Americans that Washington “could have remained all-powerful, but twice he chose not to.” He highlighted Washington’s humility, his refusal to abuse power, and the fact that the first president “modeled what it means to put the good of the nation over self-interest and selfish ambition.”

Self-interest and selfish ambition. Sound familiar? 

Bush emphasized that the presidency is “more important than the occupant” and warned against allowing the office to become invested with “near-mythical powers.” That’s not just a history lesson — that’s a flashing neon sign aimed straight at Trump’s cult-of-personality politics and endless power grabs. 

He even stressed that Washington was trusted because “everyone knew he would not abuse power.” In today’s America — where Trump openly vows revenge, pushes executive overreach, and treats democracy like a personal obstacle — that line hits like a sledgehammer. 

Bush framed Washington as a unifying figure, someone called back into public life because of his character and integrity — not because he demanded loyalty oaths or threatened opponents. 

The message was crystal clear: leadership is about humility, integrity, and service. Not ego. Not grievance. Not clinging to power like it’s a birthright. 

For a former Republican president to publicly center restraint, self-control, and respect for democratic norms — in the middle of Trump’s second-term chaos — is as close to a political warning shot as you’re going to get from the Bush wing of the GOP. 

Even in subtle Republican-speak, the contrast couldn’t be sharper. Washington gave up power. Trump can’t stop trying to grab more of it.
