George W. Bush, the 43rd president of the United States, was widely criticized during his tenure for many things, including leading the country into the War on Terror. Despite his controversial presidency, however, Bush believes that he is not as terrible as the man who sits in the Oval Office today.
In The National Review, contributing editor Tom DeFrank, reports that Bush is often seen smirking at the Trump administration.

“Without chiming in with the Trump critics, Bush is often heard to remark, unable to stifle his trademark smirk: ‘Sorta makes me look pretty good, doesn’t it?’” DeFrank wrote.
DeFrank went on to say,
"He's shaking his head like everyone else wondering why they can't get their act together, he wants the guy to succeed, but thinks a lot of his problems are self-inflicted."
Geroge W. Bush has not publically criticized Trump but has often been overheard making remarks about the President. The Hill reported that during Trump's inauguration, Bush was overheard saying that he was witnessing "some weird sh*t."
His father, Geroge H.W Bush, is not as quiet about his dislike for Trump. He unapologetically said, "I don’t like him. I don’t know much about him, but I know he’s a blowhard. And I’m not too excited about him being a leader.”
