Bush Bashes Trump’s ‘Nativism’: ‘We Cannot Wish Globalism Away’


Thursday in New York City at the “The Spirit of Liberty: At Home, In the World” forum, former President George W. Bush spoke on behalf of the George W. Bush Institute and berated the 63 million Americans who voted for Donald Trump.  Taking to task the “dangerous ideology” of the people (whom Hillary named the “deplorables” and the “irredeemables”), Bush excoriated them and in essence said that they had better step aside for the New World Order because it’s coming, whether they like it or not.

“We cannot wish globalism away,” Bush said, noting that the United States must sustain “wise and sustained global engagement” for the future of the country.

Bush indirectly accused Trump of fueling dangerous ideologies that threatened the unity of the United States and global stability, spending a large portion of his speech complaining about social ills in the country.

“We’ve seen a return of isolationist sentiments forgetting that American security is directly threatened by the chaos and despair of distant places,” he warned.

Bush urged Americans to “recover our own identity,” citing a commitment to global engagement, free and international trade, and immigration.

“Recovering our own identity?”  By having unfettered illegal alien invasion into our sovereign soil, isn’t that a bigger threat to our identity than believing that capitulating to the United Nations or the World Bank will result in us losing basic American rights?  By importing foreign terrorism unvetted into our nation with not even a cursory glance in the rearview mirror, isn’t that a bigger threat to our identity than believing that the disappearance of the English language and Christianity from the public discourse will result in us stepping aside for what Bush called the “governing class?”

As for a commitment to global engagement, is he offering that his bellicosity in Iraq and Afghanistan, and the continuation of the so-called Bush Doctrine by Barack Obama in spirit and in practice, was “global engagement?”
