Former Presidents Barack Obama and George W. Bush delivered rare open criticism of the Trump administration — and singer Bono held back tears as he recited a poem — in an emotional video farewell with staffers of the US Agency for International Development.
What the hell have they been waiting for???
Must be affecting Bush's pockets for him to speak out.
USAID IS A STRATEGICAL AND WISE MOVE MR.J.F KENNEDY HAS STARTED AND ENDING IT "NO WAY" MAKES SENSE LIKE AXING MEDICAID, DOE, VOA BUDGETS AND PUMPING UP HUNDREDS OF BILLIONS OF $S TO DUMB, JOB STEALER, USELESS AI BUDGET!!
Trump wants to help farmers with a temporary work permit which already exists H-2A is this President the most clueless , uneducated person to have ever sat in the Oval Office ?
America is very narcissistic right now.
The American that you chose to be President doesn’t know borders or boundaries. It can’t feel good to have such a dysfunctional, disregulated representative on the world stage. Sorry for the half of Americans who tried sooo hard. God save America from the current government.
Peppy ICE theme song just dropped! open.substack.com/pub/ohhistev...
Thank you Bush and Obama for speaking truth.
A little late
A bit late!
Why wasn't this all over the news? Media sucks.
While I appreciate their comments, I also feel that they have been incredibly quiet for incredibly too long while our country is dismantled piece by piece, day by day.
Bush definitely has.
For a reason. He *was* Trump, just packaged nicer. Back when he was approaching his 1st election day for POTUS, a TX reporter asked him how he, as then-TX gov, was going to explain to TX lawmakers re: TX budget being in the red. His response "I hope not to be here then". He had inherited a
There are a lot of similarities between W and Trump. Both are clowns and like to use their gut instead of facts.
strong TX economy from Ann Richards. He then destroyed that economy. Sound familiar? Remember the video he made for the DC correspondents' dinner? Where he looked under several White House furniture as he said "Nope, no WMD's under here". Yeah, the troops didn't get to stay home & look under
furniture. He sent them off to die or be injured. As gov, he ignored Ft Worth after it's downtown took a direct hit from an EF-3 twister, never came back to even lay eyes on the destruction. He was busy campaigning for POTUS. Yet he took time a few weeks later to attend a nationally televised
funeral for a high-ranking Catholic church official in NYC. Guess any local news coverage of a Ft Worth visit meant way less than national coverage of the funeral. It's no wonder why he stayed/stays silent re: Trump.
This regime does not care about our world.
Bush 2 was one of the most likeable Presidents in Our History and certainly most incompetent. Obama was another likeable President who had much to offer but such a thought and act did not resonate w him. My way or the highway doesn't allow for meeting opposition half way domestically or abroad.
War criminals are "likeable"?
So now they speak up? Bush both Laura and GW need to start speaking up far sooner, people would listen or at least take a pause. It's a given that Obama would be opposed but we should hear more from him and Michelle.
Whatever CNN said is garbage 🗑 peace. They're evil 😈 to post fakes news 😔
Bush was nowhere when we were fighting to keep this man out of office. Your silence was deafening. You just couldn't support a woman.
may both war criminals rot in hell
Putin rejoiced.
Bush was a step in the process and he should keep his mouth shut and paint. At least that won’t hurt anybody else than art.
Shutup!!! Trump is the name of your failure!!
Bonos son has done more at this time😑
This is their legacy. The GOP or MAGA or whatever the hell they're calling themselves these days, have chosen to disrupt, dismantle, and destroy everything in their path, and the people of America and around the world are their collateral damage.
The impact from the choices they have made will resonate through generations, and the only thing they will be remembered for is the exhaustive list of lives they will have single-handedly destroyed.
The same GWB who had his brother steal Florida in 2000, and who appointed Roberts and Alito, and worked behind the scenes to get Kavenaugh on SCOTUS? Criticizing the fascism he helped build?
Lol and then they'll hold hands with him and joke at the next function. No thanks until you're serious.
Babies starve while they line their pockets.
Trump is evil, his followers are garbage.
wow that is the worst photo of Obama i've ever seen
📣 Bush said something! 🥂
This country has only prospered because of our generosity and love for those who have less than us. This hateful regime will see how a country without a moral compass will falter.
Such dark times we are in. Just can’t keep up with all of the awfulness.
Yes!!!!! They speak- Trump is a bad stinking Dude - impeach and remove while we still can
Waiting for that midnight rage on Truth Social. Lel.
Finally…where have they been?!?
Bono? The guy who serenaded Jared Kushner and Ivanka Trump on Rupert Murdoch’s yacht? That fucking guy?
They have kept their mouths shut since Trump was elected. Why don't you ask them why they have been silent against the Trump administration until now?
💔💔
People are dying. You can give to the IRC or UNICEF to help these people (children).
Too bad Democrats turned it into a slush fund to fund liberal pet projects.
