Jeb Bush: Trump Couldn’t Have Been Nicer

From TownHall, Jeb said the Trump Family has been extremely gracious:

Jeb Bush, son of the late former President George H.W. Bush, told the Wall Street Journal Tuesday that his family was celebrating the legacy of his father and praised the Trumps for being “gracious.”

"The president and the first lady have been very gracious," he said. "I think it's been great."

He also addressed the question of why Trump was not giving the eulogy.

"What people want to talk about is: Well why isn't the president giving the eulogy? And it's because we have a unique circumstance here,” he explained. “My brother was president. It's like, I'm sorry. First dibs, as we used to say. I don't know how to explain it other than that."

That decision had been made prior to Trump’s election.

He added that their mother Barbara Bush, who passed away in April, would be “about ready to slap George if he goes beyond 12 minutes.”

Bush described his father as “the most generous, kind person you’d ever meet,” and said he hoped his father's "kindler, gentler" approach would prevail over the more combative style of politics.

“Politically, it’s not winning,” he acknowledged. “But that’s not to say we shouldn’t restore it.”

More from Breitbart:

Former Florida Governor Jeb Bush praised President Donald Trump on Tuesday for his gracious response to the Bush family after the death of George H.W. Bush.

Jeb Bush said that Trump called him after his father died and “couldn’t have been nicer.”

Trump’s former rival for the Republican presidential nomination in 2016 spoke about his father’s death and President Trump during a Wall Street Journal event in Washington, DC.

He said that his granddaughters joined First Lady Melania Trump and other members of the Bush family on Tuesday to visit the White House and tour the Christmas decorations.

Jeb added that both the president and the first lady were “really gracious” to the family.

He acknowledged that Trump was not delivering the eulogy for his father but said that George W. Bush had “first dibs.”

“What people want to talk about is, well, why isn’t the president giving the eulogy?’” he said. “It’s because we have a unique circumstance here: my brother was president.”

Trump will attend the state funeral for George H.W. Bush which will be held on Wednesday.
