New biography of former First Lady Barbara Bush details deep, prolonged distrust of Donald Trump, and her bewilderment at his unlikely rise to the White House.
"The Matriarch: Barbara Bush and the Making of an American Dynasty," was written by USA TODAY Washington Bureau Chief Susan Page, who interviewed the former first lady frequently during the final six months of her life and was given access to her personal diaries.
As she continued to witness Trump's success, Bush said she began to see a party she could no longer support, even as members of the Bush family like her grandson George P. Bush, commissioner of the Texas General Land Office, remained in public office. "The Trumps are a new word, both of them,” Bush wrote. "Trump now means Greed, selfishness and ugly. So sad.”
"He said that George was a great president and he admired us both," Bush wrote in her diary. "He said Jeb was strong and a great man. He is trying ... at this moment... to be conciliatory. He says he wants to represent all the people.”
