“The worst human being ever to enter the presidency, and I include all the slaveholders,” tweeted David Frum, a former Bush speechwriter who now writes for The Atlantic.

Frum this week published a piece in The Atlantic headlined "An Inaugural Celebration That Rings Hollow" in which he wrote that the lesson of Trump's inauguration "is that the system has failed."

Bush will attend Trump’s inauguration Friday morning with his wife, former First Lady Laura Bush.

Bush’s parents, former President George H.W. Bush and Barbara Bush, were both hospitalized Wednesday and will not attend Trump’s inauguration ceremony.

During the GOP presidential primary, Trump frequently tore into Jeb Bush — George W. Bush's brother — and occasionally attacked both former presidents Bush as well.
