Former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush (R) says in a new interview that President Trump's "unilateralism" on trade issues and other foreign policy is "really dangerous."
Bush, who challenged Trump for the GOP presidential nomination in 2016 and has said he hopes a Republican primary opponent emerges in 2020, spoke about some of his criticisms of Trump in a podcast interview with CNN's David Axelrod.
"We haven't had a major crisis to deal with, but this unilateralism or going-alone-ism I think is really dangerous," Bush said of Trump's foreign policy moves during the interview on CNN's "The Axe Files."
"Our friends no longer believe they can trust the United States and our enemies, in many cases, feel emboldened by this approach," he added. "I think it defies the ... bipartisan kind of consensus on foreign policy that has by-and-large kept America safe."

Not going to defend Trump but your brother's foreign policy was pretty dangerous also.

(16,937 posts)that we'd see a time when we consider a Bush having a "reasonable" foreign policy discussion. But after what IQ45 has done to it all, even Jeb sounds like a world-class statesman!
At least, after all of the other Repug suck-ups that were opposed to IQ45 and then crawled into the same bed (yeah, I mean you, Lindsey and Teddy Cruz - and ugh, what an ugly thought!) the Bush clan has remained opposed to this national shame guy.
