George W. Bush reportedly thought President Trump's inauguration 'was some weird sh-t'
Aside from his well-documented struggle to put on a poncho during President Trump's inauguration, former President George W. Bush has kept a pretty low profile about the event. But recently, three unnamed sources spilled the beans to New York about what Bush was allegedly really thinking while he had his poncho draped over his head.
As Bush was leaving Trump's inauguration, three different people reported they heard Bush say: "That was some weird sh-t."
Bush's spokesman declined to comment, and Bush has not publicly addressed his thoughts on Trump's speech about "American carnage" and America's return to "winning again — winning like never before."
