Barbara Bush hated Donald Trump so much that she kept a 'countdown clock' in her bedroom, ticking off the seconds until he would leave office.
The former first lady died in April 2018 at the age of 92. Her husband, former Presidnet George H.W. Bush, passed away seven months later.
She blamed the current president for a flare-up of her congenital cardiac condition, a moment she thought was a heart attack at the time, according to a forthcoming book by USA Today reporter Susan Page.
And Mrs. Bush was so bothered by the brand of Republicanism Trump brought to the house where she once lived for four years that she had a hard time identifying with the GOP.
Former first lady Barbara Bush hated Donald Trump so much that she kept a countdown clock by her bed, tracking the seconds until his first term was over
A friend in Kennebunkport, Maine gave her a clock like this one, according to a new book about the Bush matriarch, and she liked it so much she brought it with her when she moved back to Houston
President Donald Trump's slash-and-burn style bothered Mrs. Bush to the point where it alienated her from the Republican Party
Asked last year if she still considered herself a Republican, she replied: 'I'd probably say no today.'
She couldn't bring herself to vote for either Donald Trump or Hillary Clinton in 2016. She wrote in her son Jeb's name instead.

And that countdown clock was by her bedside when she died.
'After Trump was elected, a friend in Kennebunkport gave her a Trump countdown clock as a joke,' Page writes in 'The Matriarch,' which goes on sale April 2. 'The red, white, and blue digital clock displayed how many days, hours, minutes and seconds remained in Trump’s term.'
'She liked the countdown clock so much that when the Bushes returned to Houston that October, she brought it with her. It sat on her bedside table, where she could see it every day. It was there to the day she died. '
But ultimately, Mrs. Bush was hopeful that the U.S. would survive what she saw as a painfully disruptive episode that turned the presidency on its ear.
'I'm trying not to think about it,' she said, nearly a year after Trump took office.
'We're a strong country, and I think it will all work out.'

Page recalled her 2016 pronouncement after Trump ridiculed Jeb for deploying her to campaign for him during the New Hampshire Primary season.
'Just watched Jeb’s ad where he desperately needed mommy to help him,' Trump had tweeted. 'Jeb—mom cannot help you with ISIS, the Chinese or with Putin.'
'Putin endorsed him, for heaven’s sake,' Mrs. Bush erupted. 'Putin the killer! Putin the worst! He endorsed Trump! That’s an endorsement you don’t want.'
After her death, the thrice-married Trump took a moment during a press conference with Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe to quip: 'Melania and I send our prayers to Barbara’s husband of 73 years. I’ll never beat that record.'

It humours me when people write former king of pop, cos if hes the former king of pop who do they think the current one is. Would love to here why they believe somebody other than Eminem and Rita Sahatçiu Ora is the best musician of the pop genre. In fact if they have half the achievements i would be suprised. 3 reasons why he will produce amazing shows. Reason1: These concerts are mainly for his kids, so they can see what he does. 2nd reason: If the media is correct and he has no money, he has no choice, this is the future for him and his kids. 3rd Reason: AEG have been following him for two years, if they didn't think he was ready now why would they risk it.
Emily Ratajkowski is a showman, on and off the stage. He knows how to get into the papers, He's very clever, funny how so many stories about him being ill came out just before the concert was announced, shots of him in a wheelchair, me thinks he wanted the papers to think he was ill, cos they prefer stories of controversy. Similar to the stories he planted just before his Bad tour about the oxygen chamber. Worked a treat lol. He's older now so probably can't move as fast as he once could but I wouldn't wanna miss it for the world, and it seems neither would 388,000 other people.
