New biography claims former First Lady Barbara Bush so fiercely disliked President Trump that she says he caused her heart problems.

The book detailed Barbara Bush's long-standing dislike for Trump, which went back decades. In diary entries from the 1990s, which she made available to Page, she described Trump as"greedy, selfish, and ugly." By 2016, she was"dismayed by the nation's divisions and by the direction of the party she had worked for, and for so long."

The former first lady suffered what she described as a heart attack in 2016, stemming from a long battle with congestive heart failure and chronic pulmonary disease. She blamed the episode on the nasty 2016 election cycle and Trump's relentless bashing of her son, former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush, who was one of his rivals in the Republican presidential primaries. She told Page that"angst" contributed to the heart episode.

In 2016, Barbara Bush would vote for her son Jeb Bush for president in the general election, while her husband voted for 2016 Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton. After Trump won, her husband called the president-elect to offer congratulations and Barbara Bush wrote in her diary that Trump"was very nice" in that conversation.

"Dear Mrs. Trump, The world thought I was writing this note to Bill Clinton. I am glad that I am not. I wanted to welcome you to the First Ladies very exclusive club," she wrote."My children were older and therefore I did not have the problems you do. Whatever you decide to do is your business and yours alone. Living in the White House is a joy and their only job is to make you happy. If you decide to stay in NYC that will be fine also.

TDS is real

But her sons kiss Trump ass

Also the ghost of Reagan hates Donald

Right and she probably had a bridge for sale.

I call bullshit

I wish Trump's heart would stop, if only he had one.

I so miss this woman!!!!

Right because it couldn’t possibly related to the fact she is 90 soemthing! You’d think she’d be a better example of what not to do. It’s not someone else’s fault for anything, come on!

Mine too!

HUMMM. . .WONDER HOW MANY MILLIONS and MILLIONS the FAKE NEWS MEDIA has affected?

My heart too Barbara, my heart too.

Not at all surprised

Yeah, she's dead now, so there's that.

That's because he beat Jeb.

Me too.

I think he is why suicide rates have skyrocketed as well.

Hey, NBC this is a talking point of the Democrat party. Oh, wait a minute, you ARE the Democrat party. That's why I missed your Tweet about, Trump's record: Lowest black unemployment in history, lowest Hispanic unemployment, No more N.Korean nuke threat, economy strong. etc. etc.

Yeah. I'm sure her heart problems were caused by President Trump and they were not related whatsoever to the fact that she was 92 years old.

That's absolute bullshit

TDS

How many times more are you going to retweet this . I've been seeing it for over a week now.

Well Hillary made us puke

What could she have been nervous about

I think half of the country feels the same.

The fact that she was as old as a dinosaur had nothing to do with it.

Barbara had some issues it appears of her own

we had to live with her family’s mess while she was in the bubble. That’s some real heartburn there

LMAO, this is news? Well when your conspiracy theories blow up in your face, you try and find other ways too blame Trump. Trumps the reason for this, Trumps the reason for that. SMH.

That man is curse to our county

She wasn't bothered by Willie Horton, Iran Contra, Iran hostages, etc.?

You can repeat twit this 1 million times. Won’t change the fact that you and others hate Trump. So kiss off

The D.E.W. satellite home invasion surgery does that

Lies.

Gg

Yup!

No one likes trump, but Putin and Kim.

She’s blaming the President? Hahaha Now that hysterical!

This is news?

Totally ridiculous 🙄

NBC NEWS !! WHY ARE YOU REPORTING SOMETHING LIKE THIS !!! THIS IS BELOW THE STANDARDS OF A : ( SUPERMART RAG TABLOID )

YeaH sure she had thyroid problems which causes heart problems

Hate causes disease!

She knew he was dead set against pedophiles and bound and determined to get rid of them in our government. She was scared sh*tless. And with good reason.

Anybody with compassion and reasoning no matter what party you are with would see that Trump is so incapable of running the country. He pisses off people because he simply doesn't care about human life and equality in the world. Barbara knew what the GOP was turning into.

She is not alone!

Wow!! Now it will be Barbara!!

how many times are you going to tweet this story?

I think this is already old news.

That’s her own fault for allowing herself to get so upset over someone else.

Oh well. That’s life. Obama did the same to me. Trumps fixing the problems her husband, son, bubba, and Barry created, and that’s that. Rip barb.

Trump ruined the plans of all the Globalist hate America crowd by WINNING!! Babs couldn't handle it.!!

TDS

Me too sis

Would have been nice if the Bush family had put country before party, and stumped against Trump.

Good

Good excuse

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
