RUSH: Do you remember during the memorial services and the funeral for George H. W. Bush, what stood out? If you think back, if you saw it — and I was there — what stood out? I\u2019ll tell you what stood out.<\/a> How much he was praised for being a man of Washington, for being bipartisan, for being mature and understanding that the two parties could work together. That George H. W. Bush was a man of decency, a man of understanding — and why was this said about him?<\/p>\n

\"\"Because he broke his tax pledge, \u2019cause George H. W. Bush famously said, “Read my lips: No new taxes,” and then a short time later, “Ignore my lips: Pay higher taxes.” I said at the time of these memorials that all of that was intended as a message to Trump, because nothing happens in that town in an isolated way. They weren\u2019t actually there just to honor George H. W. Bush. They were there for PR. They were there for marketing and buzz. Make no mistake about it.<\/p>\n

And part of it was to send a message to Trump that, “This is how you get respect from us. This is how you end up being praised. You have to die! You have to die before you\u2019re a good Republican. You\u2019re gonna have to die before you\u2019re a good guy. But when you die, look at what we\u2019ll say about you. This is our offer: Don\u2019t do the wall, stop talking about all this, break your promise, lose the next election — and then die — and we will give you what you want.”<\/p>\n

That\u2019s the deal. Nobody in their right mind would take a deal like that. Guess what the opposite is beginning to happen? They said he should break his wall pledge and the media and history would praise him. Guess what? The opposite is happening. The media already mocking Trump for caving! They already think he\u2019s caving. They thought last night he was caving. Is there love? Is there adoration? Is there respect? There isn\u2019t, Mr. President. They\u2019re laughing at you. They\u2019re mocking you. They\u2019re making fun of you.<\/p>\n
