Whakakiia te rerenga e whai ake nei: Ahakoa i tautoko a Bush i te kaitono perehitini o te Rōpū Reipa o te tau 2012, a Mitt Romney, kaore ia i whakaae ki te tautoko i te kaitono a te Rōpū Reipa o te tau 2016, a Donald Trump. Waihoki, kaore a Bush i tae atu ki te
Kāore hoki i te 2016 Republican National Conventions, i reira i tohua ai a Romney rāua ko Trump. I te ahiahi o te whakaingoatanga a Trump, i kii a Bush i te manukanuka mo te aronga o te Rōpū Reipa i tenei wa, ka kii ki tetahi roopu o ana kaiawhina o mua me nga kaitohutohu, "Kei te awangawanga ahau ko au te perehitini Republican whakamutunga". Kaore a Bush me tana wahine a Laura i pooti mo Trump i te pooti perehitini o te tau 2016 e ai ki te kaikorero mo te whanau Bush, engari i kowhiri ki te waiho i a raatau pooti perehitini kore. Whai muri i te pōtitanga, ka waea atu a Bush, tōna pāpā, me tōna tuakana a Jeb ki a Trump ki te mihi ki a ia mō tana wikitoria. I tae atu rāua ko Laura ki te whakarewatanga o Trump, ā, ko ngā whakaahua o Bush e uaua ana ki te whakakakahu i tētahi poncho ua i te wā o te whakarewatanga, ka noho hei meme ipurangi. I a ia e wehe ana i te huihuinga, i kii a Bush i te huihuinga, ina koa ko te korero a Trump mo te whakatuunga, "he mea whakamiharo".
