George W. Bush knows he looked a bit ridiculous battling a rain ponchoin bad weather on Donald Trumps inauguration day.I wish I got the rain poncho on a little more cleanly, Bush said, referring to his epic struggle with the see-through rain gear.My daughters were aghast: Dad, youre a national tweet sensation. Youre trending, or whatever the words are. I said, I dont know what the heck that means. But then I saw the pictures and I can see why I was trending.Rain poncho 1: Dubya 0 pic.twitter.com/aD8AFcAl6i Mark Zohar (@markzohar) January 20, 2017 The George W.

But one thing he was foggy about was his reported commentthat Trumps inauguration wassome weird shit.If I said it, I dont remember it, Bush said diplomatically.He said was glad he attended the inauguration, despite fissures in the Republican Party over Trump (neither Bush nor wife Laura, nor his father voted for Trump).You know, its a really beautiful experience to watch a peaceful transfer of power, he said.But he was critical of the current plan to deport undocumented immigrants.Lets discuss the issue of people here illegally. What are the options' Do nothing' he said. My judgment is that there needs to be a way for somebody to be able to get in line to become a citizen so long as they meet certain criteria.As for Mexico, he said: I think its very important for us to recognize the importance of Mexico and the relationship we have with Mexico. We want Mexico to succeed. Its in our national interest they succeed. -- This feed and its contents are the property of The Huffington Post, and use is subject to our terms.
