Report: Bush called Trump's inauguration speech 'some weird shit'

http://thehill.com/blogs/blog-briefing-room/news/326438-george-bush-after-inauguration-that-was-some-weird-s-t-report

"Former President George W. Bush reportedly reacted to President Trump's inauguration speech by saying, "That was some weird s--t."

Bush attended Trump's inauguration, sitting near former President and First Lady Bill and Hillary Clinton as well as former President and first lady Barack and Michelle Obama.

According to a new report by New York magazine, three people present at the event say they heard Bush say, "That was some weird s--t" after the swearing in ceremony concluded.

Ahead of the event, Bush's office said the couple is “pleased to be able to witness the peaceful transfer of power — a hallmark of American democracy — and swearing-in of President Trump and Vice President Pence.”

The former president did not make any official statements following the inauguration."

I am no genius and while I detest W's politics and everything about him he is probably about as smart an ex frat guy as I am.

And that sums up my reaction. That was some wired shit. Actually, I think I used the word scary.
