Before she passed away in 2018, she also said she would no longer think of herself as a Republican.

WASHINGTON — Barbara Bush says Donald Trump caused her “angst” during the 2016 election and led her to question whether she was still a Republican in the months before she died.

The late former first lady’s thoughts about Trump were revealed in excerpts published Wednesday in USA Today of an upcoming biography, “The Matriarch.” In a February 2018 interview, Bush was asked if she still considered herself a Republican. She replied, “I’d probably say ‘no’ today.”Bush recalls drafting a funny letter to mail after the election congratulating Bill Clinton on becoming a presidential spouse. But Bush said when she woke up, she realized “to my horror that Trump had won.”

A friend gave Bush a clock that counted down the time remaining in Trump’s first term that she kept at her bedside.

Barbara Bush said ‘angst’ over Trump campaign led to heart issues, according to new bookIn “The Matriarch: Barbara Bush and the Making of an American Dynasty,” Susan Page, the Washington Bureau chief of USA TODAY, detailed Bush’s thoughts on President Trump and the Republican Party. I really believe her, iam not doing so good myself'who defends a lier' BB was a wonderful woman. Yet she voted, not for Hillary, but for her son. Think of how many elite Republican women she could have influenced had she decided to help Hillary defeat this dreadful menace and what a legacy that would have been. I'll tell you what has given me some heart issues. Her son George W. Bush who engaged America in two unnecessary land wars in Iraq and Afghanistan that killed and maimed thousands of Americans and wasted $7 trillion. Killed 300,000 Iraqi civilians and displaced 3 million Iraqis

I am glad that I am not,” Bush said in a letter welcoming Melania Trump to the “First Ladies' very exclusive club” after the 2016 election. When did Newsweek become a Rag for Right Wing nut jobs?

Barbara Bush didn't consider herself a Republican in Trump eraBarbara Bush so fiercely disliked President Donald Trump that she blamed him for her heart issues and, by the end of her life, she no longer considered herself a Republican. A bush...of all people, with all the corruption and illegality of things their family has been involved in....gained heart problems because of Donald Trump? please. Let's ask her....oh wait, we can't prove it. Guess our opinion will have to be presented as fact instead. Ridiculous claim. Barbara was close 90 when she died. Donald Trump did not cause her age-related health problems
