I DONT LIKE HIM: BUSH PRESIDENTS WORRY TRUMP WILL TORPEDO THE G.O.P.
Last month, former president George W. Bush took a leaf from Michelle Obamas book, decrying the current climate of nationalism distorted into nativism that has seeped into the Republican Party without once mentioning Donald Trumps name. The speech was a marked escalation for the former president, who, aside from an alleged remark that Trumps inauguration was some weird shit, had been largely reticent on the subject of 45. Now, however, both W. and his father, George Bush Sr., are ramping up their criticism of Trump, openly calling him a blowhard and worrying out loud that he is in the process of leveling the Republican party they built over the course of two lifetimes.
In The Last Republicans, Mark K. Updegrove examines the relationship between Bushes Jr. and Sr. while delving into their perception of Trump and their concerns for the partys future. According to The New York Times, its name is derived from something George W. Bush told the author during the 2016 presidential campaign: Im worried that I will be the last Republican president. (Neither Bush voted for Trump: Bush Sr. voted for Hillary Clinton, and the younger Bush told Updegrove he voted for none of the above.)

They're just pissed that Jebbie got shot down both verbally and electively by Trump. They wanted to keep the dynasty going.
