Nolte: Barbara Bush Blamed Trump for Her ‘Heart Attack’
Today’s fake news is that the late Barbara Bush blamed President Trump for a heart attack that wasn’t really a heart attack, but because facts no longer matter to our fake news media, that’s the headline. The matriarch of the Bush dynasty, the wife of one president (George H.W. Bush, who died in November of last year) and the mother of another (George W. Bush), passed away in April of last year at the age of 92 after a years-long fight with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). Nevertheless, in June of 2016, Trump gave her a heart attack — sorry, I mean, a “heart attack.”
This is an excerpt from Susan Page’s upcoming biography, The Matriarch: Barbara Bush and the Making of an American Dynasty, published Wednesday by the far-left USA Today. And it’s fake news. As you can see, the headline debunks itself in the next sentence. On top of that, Bush was 90 or 91 at the time and already sick with COPD … but we gotta sell some books, smear Trump, keep the hate campaign against the president going….This particular anecdote is also deeply unflattering to Mrs. Bush.
By this time, Jeb(!) had already dropped out of his hapless low-energy bid for the 2016 Republican nomination, so why would a 90-year-old woman who had already been through four decades of the political wringer allow a presidential primary, allow a Donald Trump, allow anything other than a family crisis to discombobulate her to where she had a fake heart attack?
There’s more… When asked in February of 2018 if she was still a Republican,. She said, “I’d probably say no today.
And then there’s this…You know, I have no idea how I’m going to exit this life. I might be found under a stripper covered in cocaine dust or buried under all the cans of food amassed in my doomsday prepping, but I sure as hell know how I’m not going out — and that’s while obsessing to the point of fake heart attacks over politics, or who’s president, or glued to the criminal stupidity of cable news.
Barbara Bush literally had everything — a fairytale marriage, wealth, success, a place in history, a tight-knit family, countless grandkids and great-grandkids… And still. You have almost have to feel some pity for someone buried in monetary and familial wealth who still allows a politician to undermine her peace of mind, to in any way affect what should have been the most contented winter years imaginable. Honestly, Barbara Bush always struck me as a much stronger woman than this, someone with poise and self-control. Even more surprising is that she would admit to such a thing. If that were me, I would at least have the self-respect to keep something so embarrassing to myself.
