Bush 41, 43 Do Not Plan to Endorse Donald Trump

<snip>

"President George H.W. Bush and his son President George W. Bush have no plans to endorse Donald Trump, their spokespeople told ABC News.

"President Bush does not plan to participate in or comment on the presidential campaign,” the younger Bush's spokesman, Freddy Ford, said.

Jim McGrath, spokesman for the elder Bush, said the 41st president is out of politics."

<snip>

"This is the first time in the last five election cycles that Bush 41 has not endorsed the GOP nominee."
