Why Bush 41 Was the Anti-Trump
Manage episode 431470878 series 2355375
As the Soviet Union crumbled, George H.W. Bush’s strategy was simple: say nothing. Historian Jeffrey Engel tells us about Bush’s plain oratory and his relationship with the USSR’s last leader, Mikhail Gorbachev. Engel says Bush Sr. and Trump scarcely look like they’re from the same party—which, of course, they aren’t. His book is When the World Seemed New.
In the Spiel, reacting to the allegations against Roy Moore and Louis C.K.
