US President Donald Trump mounted an unprecedented attack on former owner of White House, George W Bush on May 3 for posting a mess to address challenges that coronavirus outbreak poses on America but being “where to be found” when Democrats had impeached Trump. In an emotional mess, Bush talked about pandemic being “bigger” than differences between people and called for unity. former US President even compared current global health crisis with chaos US faced back in September 2011.
Bush said that he had witnessed United States to have risen as “great nation” and “embrace unavoidable new duties” when Al-Qaeda led terror attacks took place just a few months after Bush acquired White House. However, nearly three-minute-long video posted by Bush had mention of current Republican President and that seemed to have provoked Trump to quote a reporter from an international media outlet.
