Former President George W. Bush spoke in Ventura County last night, saying he is staying out of the fray over President Trump’s performance in office.
Bush says he knows how tough the office is, and that the last thing any President needs is reviews of their performance by a former President.
He says he made the decision after leaving office not to offer his opinions about the job President Obama was doing, and is continuing that policy with President Trump.
Bush was in Ventura County to talk about his new book, “Portraits of Courage: A Commander in Chief’s Tribute to America’s Warriors” He appeared at the Ronald Reagan Presidential Library, in Simi Valley.
He told people at the sold out event that he believes in a free press, because it holds our leaders accountable.
It’s the third book for America’s 43rd President, and is a tribute to those who volunteered to serve America in uniform after 9/11.
