Former President George W. Bush often jokes that President Trump's administration makes his own former White House team look "pretty good," according to a Republican source.

The former Republican president regularly knocks the current administration, a source close to the Trump administration told National Journal, unable to understand why the White House often seems to be in chaos.

"Bush is often heard to remark, unable to stifle his trademark smirk: 'Sorta makes me look pretty good, doesn't it?' " National Journal reported.

"He's shaking his head like everyone else wondering why they can't get their act together," the source added. "He wants the guy to succeed but thinks a lot of his problems are self-inflicted."

Somehow I just can't see Trumpass in a flight suit and a codpiece.



In fact the thought is kind of sickening.

Bush's Iraq War created the conditions that caused the refugee crisis for one thing. Without that, Trump would be nowhere. Also Dubya so tarred the Bush name, knocking Jeb out of the running. George W. Bush and Donald Trump are Dubya I and Dubya II 3D.

However, give Donnie Two Scoops time and he'll find a way to start an illegal war with someone. And it will be the BIGGEST and BEST illegal war in the history of the world!
