Is it OK to criticize the President while he's overseas?

Ok...he's not quite there yet though...

When I ran for office, I said he is a chaos candidate and would be a chaos president," Bush said on Friday.

"Unfortunately, so far, chaos organizes the presidency right now," he said, speaking at the annual SALT hedge fund conference,

Bush said it appears the Trump administration is "living in the tyranny of the moment" instead of "executing on a clear agenda."

When the Dems criticized W, it was un-American
When the Repugs criticized Obama, it was OK

They seem to have different rules based on whether you have a D or an R after your name.

Freaking hypocrites!

on a boat.
I would mock him with a goat.
I would mock him in the rain.
I would mock him on a train.
I would mock him in the dark! And in a tree!
In a car! You let me be!
I do not like Trump in a box.
I do not like Trump with a fox.
I do not like Trump in a house.
I do not like Trump with a mouse.
I do not like him here or there.
I do not like him anywhere!


So, yeah, I would criticize him while he is overseas.
