Leave it to Donald John “Partisan Hack in Chief” Trump to find some way to trash a fellow Republican for saying what needed to be said about the political climate in light of the coronavirus pandemic.

Former President George W. Bush issued a video statement this weekend that called for an end to partisanship. “In the end we are not partisan combatants,” President Bush noted in his message about the fight against a shared “invisible enemy.” He said the pandemic only illustrates “how small” our political differences have become.

Trump, of course, fired back. He tweeted some idiocy about how Bush didn’t call for an end to partisanship while Trump was being impeached by the House of Representatives and put on trial by the Senate.

Here’s my guess on that: I am guessing that Bush believes that Trump should have been convicted of abuse of power and obstruction of Congress and removed from office. He just didn’t have the guts to say so out loud. Indeed, the former president’s silence during that entire ordeal spoke volumes to me.

However, the ex-president is correct to assert that the pandemic should overshadow partisan concerns. If only Donald Trump would understand the need to focus exclusively on a dire matter and ignore the partisanship that keeps getting in the way.

That won’t happen. Not with this president. Not … ever!
