What would those attacks be? Here are just a few.<\/p>\n

Don’t talk to me about Bush, I was never a defender or a fan!<\/p>\n

“@cisrabbit: Not to mention we already had two Bush presidents, neither of which were too successful. Insanity would be to want a third.”<\/p>\n

The last thing we need is another Bush in the White House. Would be the same old thing (remember “read my lips, no more taxes”). GREATNESS!<\/p>\n

Jeb Bush never uses his last name on advertising, signage, materials etc. Is he ashamed of the name BUSH? A pretty sad situation. Go Jeb!<\/p>\n

I cannot believe how bad Jeb Bush looks with his insane answer on Iraq, and then his numerous corrections which made him look even worse.<\/p>\n

\n

Flashback \u2013 Jeb Bush received a $4M tax payer bailout in 1990 t.co\/R2bpNbRQRX<\/a> Guess who was POTUS then?<\/p>\n

\n

Now that George Bush is campaigning for Jeb(!), is he fair game for questions about World Trade Center, Iraq War and eco collapse? Careful!<\/p>\n

Enough is Enough- no more Bushes! #MakeAmericaGreatAgain<\/a><\/p>\n

A post shared by President Donald J. Trump<\/a> (@realdonaldtrump) on

However, here\u2019s what Bush tweeted on Saturday morning: \u201cPresident George H.W. Bush led a long, successful and beautiful life. Whenever I was with him I saw his absolute joy for life and true pride in his family. His accomplishments were great from beginning to end. He was a truly wonderful man<\/a> and will be missed by all!\u201d<\/p>\n

Then Trump used Bush\u2019s death as a reason for cancelling a planned G-20 press conference.<\/p>\n

Tweeted Trump: \u201cI was very much looking forward to having a press conference just prior to leaving Argentina because we have had such great success in our dealing with various countries and their leaders at the G20\u2026\u2026..However, out of respect for the Bush Family and former President George H.W. Bush we will wait until after the funeral to have a press conference.\u201d<\/p>\n

People weren\u2019t buying it.<\/p>\n

\n

yeah right. Every real president would use the press-conference to honor G H W Bush, find words of respect and praise. Only fake presidents run away to avoid being held accountable<\/p>\n

\n

You respect nobody.Another funeral you will not be welcomed at. You cancelled your press conference because you are afraid. Because every day you get closer to being in prison. Ane every day you say something stupid that makes it easier for Mueller.<\/p>\n

\n

You could have started the press conference by giving your condolences on his passing and some kind respectful words about his presidency \u2013 but having no empathy that would be impossible \u2013 so probably best to cancel. #TrumpTotalDisgrace<\/a> #DonTheCon<\/a><\/p>\n

\n

Wow! Trumps presidency is such a clusterfuck dumpster fire that he has to cancel a press conference out of respect to the passing of another president? MAGA, I guess.<\/p>\n
