Despite this, Mr Bush and his wife Laura decided to attend the inauguration. In a statement, his office said this was because he was “pleased to be able to witness the peaceful transfer of power

He knew.

With the headline:

George Bush thought Donald Trump's inauguration 'was some weird s***'

I just assumed the article was bringing to light, now, something that was said 8 years ago, but no. It took me a minute to realize the article is actually contemporaneous to the quote, being dated Thursday 30 March 2017

It rhymes so tidily with current events that it would seem like lazy writing, if we had the good fortune of the story being fictional. Alas, reality is under no obligation to have decently written plots, or even make sense to us half the time.
