Barbara Bush's disdain for President Trump went back decades, according to a new biography of the former first lady.

Mrs. Bush later showed a friend news clips about Trump’s separation from his first wife, Ivana, and noted that allies of the soon-to-be ex-Mrs. Trump were saying a $25 million settlement in the prenuptial agreement she signed wouldn’t be enough. Page, the Washington bureau chief for USA Today, also reveals that Mrs. Bush blamed Trump for causing her “angst” during the 2016 election - she called it a “heart attack” - and leading her to question whether she was still a Republican. Asked in the months before she died whether she still considered herself a Republican, Mrs. Bush answered: “I’d probably say no today.”
The letter never saw a mailbox. She woke up the morning after the election “and discovered, to my horror, that Trump had won.”
