The normally taciturn former president George W. Bush waded into controversy this weekend, using a Bush Institute event in New York to launch thinly veiled broadsides at Trump and his followers. Bush warned of bigotry and nationalism, protectionism and nativism, and hammered home that economic globalization is here to stay. But were Bush's errors over 8 years less grave than Trump's? What personal motivations might Bush have to unleash on Trump? And how do the Bush and Trump presidencies stack up against a libertarian agenda? Fundamentally, Bush's critique appears to be a mix of sincerity and hypocrisy.
