Pushed for a pathway for illegal immigrants to become US citizens
“Tonight, President Bush Will Call On Congress To Pass Comprehensive Immigration Reform. The President believes that America can simultaneously be a lawful, economically dynamic, and welcoming society. We must address the problem of illegal immigration and deliver a system that is secure, productive, orderly, and fair. The President calls on Congress to pass comprehensive immigration reform that will secure our borders, enhance interior and worksite enforcement, create a temporary worker program, resolve – without animosity and without amnesty – the status of illegal immigrants already here, and promote assimilation into our society. All elements of this problem must be addressed together – or none of them will be solved.”

Trump’s comments on George Bush’s leadership
“the one who got us into the quicksand of the Middle East and, after spending trillions of dollars and killing nearly a million people, the Middle East was left in worse shape after 21 years than it was when he started his stupidity.
“It ended with Biden’s most embarrassing in history withdrawal from Afghanistan, a total surrender, leaving $85 Billion dollars [sic] of equipment and many young Warriors lives behind,” Trump continued.
““The World Trade Center came down during his watch,” he wrote. “Bush led a failed and uninspiring presidency. He shouldn’t be lecturing anybody!”

Former Secretary of State under Bush (Colin Powell) Calls Himself a Republican because “it annoys them.”
“I think the party has shifted much further right than where the country is and it should be obvious to party leaders that they cannot keep saying the things that they are saying and doing the things that they were doing and hope to be successful in national level elections in the future, not just 2016… So I want to continue to be a Republican because it annoys them.”

Silent on the following issues:
Laura Bush called Trump’s zero tolerance policy on illegal immigration “cruel and immoral”
“On Sunday, a day we as a nation set aside to honor fathers and the bonds of family, I was among the millions of Americans who watched images of children who have been torn from their parents. In the six weeks between April 19 and May 31, the Department of Homeland Security has sent nearly 2,000 children to mass detention centers or foster care. More than 100 of these children are younger than 4 years old. The reason for these separations is a zero-tolerance policy for their parents, who are accused of illegally crossing our borders.
I live in a border state. I appreciate the need to enforce and protect our international boundaries, but this zero-tolerance policy is cruel. It is immoral. And it breaks my heart.
Our government should not be in the business of warehousing children in converted box stores or making plans to place them in tent cities in the desert outside of El Paso. These images are eerily reminiscent of the Japanese American internment camps of World War II, now considered to have been one of the most shameful episodes in U.S. history. We also know that this treatment inflicts trauma; interned Japanese have been two times as likely to suffer cardiovascular disease or die prematurely than those who were not interned.”

Compared January 6 riots to a “banana Republic”
https://www.businessinsider.com/george-w-bush-sickened-capitol-riot-slammed-trump-supporters-2021-3
Said what happened at the Capital made him “sick to his stomach”. Says the election was not stolen.
“I am appalled by the reckless behavior of some political leaders since the election and by the lack of respect shown today for our institutions, our traditions, and our law enforcement,” he said. “The violent assault on the Capitol — and disruption of a constitutionally mandated meeting of Congress — was undertaken by people whose passions have been inflamed by falsehoods and false hopes.”
Asked directly during the interview whether the election was stolen, Bush replied: “No.”
https://edition.cnn.com/2021/03/18/politics/george-bush-capitol-insurrection/index.html
Authorized the Patriot Act, which enables un-Constitutional spying on American citizens
“ He was also big on expanding government power — in the Patriot Act, which is now being abused on Republicans instead of bloodthirsty terrorists, and in bringing us the TSA, targeting old blue-haired ladies instead of angry Middle Eastern military-aged young men.”
“Bush thinks there was no election fraud, despite the suitcases in Atlanta, the sudden stop of counting in four states at 2:00 A.M., the transported ballots from New York to Pennsylvania, the witness testimonies in various states, the blocked observers, the ignored court orders, the ballot harvests, the usurped power from legislatures, the unchecked signatures, the backdated ballots, the unfolded ballots, and massive other irregularities, which are only now getting a court rulings critical of these obvious cheatings. Bush’s pig-stupid single “no” answer, with absolutely nothing to argue against this mountain of evidence everyone sees and knows about, says mountains about where he’s coming from. He likes the election fraud. Anything that Gets Trump is good to him, and too bad about that actual threat on democracy.”
“Bush dismissed President Trump as an ephemeral populist who will eventually “fritter away,” imagining that everyone will come back to Bush and his swamp model of governance as the standard as time passes. All he needs is time and everyone will come to love him, despite the fact that his stature as ex-president has fallen, not risen, as he had expected. In Bush’s mind, Trump was an aberration. We’ll all snap out of it. We are all supposed to miss Bush now and long for politics as usual again.”

On Afghanistan crisis:
“”It ended with Biden’s most embarrassing in history withdrawal from Afghanistan, a total surrender, leaving $85 Billion dollars [sic] of equipment and many young Warriors lives behind,” Trump continued.”
Said he had real concerns about all the “misinformation” out there.
“”What’s really troubling is how much misinformation there is and the capacity of people to spread all kinds of untruth,” he added. “And I don’t know what we’re going to do about that.”
