Members of this exclusive boys club pose together for pictures during events, frequently pat each other on the backs while attending historic events, or sit somberly side by side during VIP funerals. They rarely criticize one another and tend to offer even fewer harsh words about their White House successors.
That was until President Trump took won the 2015 election. While one member, former President George W. Bush remained somewhat quiet, former President Jimmy Carter, the Clinton’s and Obama’s collectively took almost every opportunity to delegitimize President Trump’s win, disparage his supporters, and help to tear the fabric of our nation with their animosity.
From men (and their wives) who have lived through the war, proven and alleged scandals, and years of career in politics, the honorable and gentlemanly behavior for the group would have been to embrace and support President Trump. Instead, doubt was cast on the legitimacy of his election, claimed now disproven treasonous behaviors, criticized every move, and exploited opportunities to downplay or twist any strides made during the Trump administration.
