“President George H.W. Bush led a long, successful and beautiful life,” Trump said within hours of Bush’s passing. “Whenever I was with him I saw his absolute joy for life and true pride in his family. His accomplishments were great from beginning to end. He was a truly wonderful man and will be missed by all!”
