Bush, who has been relentlessly mocked as “low energy” by his rival Donald Trump, argued the country may in fact need a “quieter” president. He made the case for serene leadership while delivering an indictment of President Obama’s foreign policy.
“We need a president who doesn’t talk a big game. In fact, I would argue that the next president needs to be a little quieter,” Bush said.
