George W. Bush is Polandback, baby. The 43rd president of the United States had his fun playing with ponchos at Trump's inauguration, but now it's time to get down to business.
On Monday, Bush visited NBC’s Today and publicly took a side in Trump's war against the media.
And FYI, Trump -- he chose the media.

On Feb. 17, Trump celebrated the holiday by using Twitter to declare that he views media as the "enemy of the American people!"

George W. Bush does not agree. And in fact, he believes the media is an extremely important aspect of today's society, describing it as "indispensable to democracy."
"We need an independent media to hold people like me to account," Bush explained in an interview with Matt Lauer, recalling challenges faced during his own time in office. "Power can be very addictive and it can be corrosive, and it’s important for the media to call to account people who abuse their power," he added, throwing some serious shade at Trump.

In addition to disagreements on the media, Bush also touched upon Trump's immigration stance. When asked his thoughts on the immigration policy, the former U.S. President simply said, "I am for an immigration policy that is welcoming and upholds the law."

Before the interview came to a close, Bush commented on the Trump administration's ties to Russia, admitting that much like the rest of the world, he wants answers.
"I think we all need answers," he said. "I’m not sure the right avenue to take. I am sure, though, that that question needs to be answered."
Keep hitting 'em with those tough comments, Bush!
