"W gave an interview recently and it was depicted widely as being a criticism of Donald Trump.
Former President George W. Bush seemed to criticize President Donald Trump in an interview with the Today Show Monday morning, saying the news media and freedom of religion are crucial to American democracy. ...And Fox News jumped in:
Former President George W. Bush offered what appeared to be a thinly veiled critique of his Republican successor on Monday, as he defended the importance of the media and immigration policies that are “welcoming.”
I don’t agree.
I think that wily Bush really agreed with Trump, but couched his words carefully to make it sound like he was being critical.
For instance, Yahoo quoted Bush as saying
“We need the media to hold people like me to account,”
But what he actually said was:
“We need an independent media to hold people like me to account.”
...Matt Lauer did his best to try to goad W into attacking Bush, but Bush stayed above the fray.
What else did W say?
About immigration:
“I am for an immigration policy that’s welcoming and upholds the law.”
That, in a nutshell, is Trump’s plan."
