George W. Bush was a “disaster” as president, according to Donald Trump.

Trump, the billionaire running for the Republican presidential nomination, gave Bush that label during an interview on Fox News Tuesday night. Trump also faulted Bush for what he called “one of the worst decisions ever made”: the Iraq war. “I think [Bush] was a disaster, and I think it was one of the worst decisions ever made,” Trump said. “[Bush] has totally destabilized the Middle East. If you had Saddam Hussein, you wouldn’t have the problems you have right now.” Bush’s brother Jeb Bush is among Trump’s rivals for the Republican nomination.

Coming Trump attractions: Look for Trump to roll out policies on trade and China’s currency manipulation. “I’ve been working hard on the China thing,” he told the Washington Post in an interview. Beijing, he said, has “emasculated” the U.S. through trade and currency manipulation. “It’s astronomical what they have done to our country, to destroy the economics of our country,” he said. “Astronomical. It’s the greatest theft in world history.”

FBI expands Clinton email probe: Also in the Washington Post: The FBI’s probe into the security of Hillary Clinton’s email has expanded to include a second private technology company. The company, Datto Inc., said it plans to provide the law-enforcement agency with data it preserved from Clinton’s account. That extra data, writes the Post, could open a new avenue for investigators interested in recovering emails deleted by the former secretary of state, who is now the Democratic presidential front-runner.

Biden’s challenge: Vice President Joe Biden hasn’t said if he’ll run for president and hasn’t raised money for a possible bid. But if Biden does decide to seek the presidency, the New York Times writes, he would pose a greater challenge to Hillary Clinton than is Sen. Bernie Sanders of Vermont. The reason: In Biden, Clinton would have an opponent who could threaten her hold on the coalition of moderate voters and party elites that seems to have the advantage in this race over the Democratic Party’s white, liberal activist wing. That wing now supports Sanders. The Times says Clinton would remain a favorite even if Biden ran. But unlike Sanders, Biden would have strength that would come almost exclusively at her expense.

‘I’m not John Boehner’: House Majority Leader Kevin McCarthy wants his fellow Republicans to know that he’s his own man. “I’m not John Boehner,” McCarthy, the leading candidate to replace the outgoing Boehner as speaker, told House conservatives Tuesday night. That’s according to one lawmaker who spoke to the Hill, ahead of House Republicans’ closed-door speaker vote on Thursday. McCarthy is expected to win the House GOP nomination for speaker that day, but also needs to win 218 votes in a roll call of the entire House set for Oct. 29.
