George W. Bush appears to take dig at Trump over slogan
Former President George W. Bush may have subtly taken a dig at Donald Trump this week during an appearance at an elementary school in Texas.
Bush attended a naming ceremony at the first school in the state to bear his name on Thursday afternoon in a suburb of Dallas.
After a tour of the school, Bush took to Instagram to share video of the adorable students singing the president a tune about accepting diversity.

The kids' performance won praise from Bush and all who saw, but it wasn't just the video that piqued people's interest.
At the end of the post, the former president wrote, "Spending time with these students gave me confidence that our great state and country will continue to be great."
Many began to assume that the line was a dig on Donald Trump's "Make America Great Again" campaign slogan.
George's brother, Jeb, was a frequent critic of Trump's during the campaign primary cycle that saw him fall from front-runner status to failed hopeful. The younger Bush repeatedly warned during his campaign events that his divisive rhetoric was bad for America and the Republican Party.
The Bush family has been notably quiet since Jeb Bush left the race. Most high-profile members of the political dynasty have so far refused to back the Republican nominee, including both former presidents. However, Jeb Bush's son George P. Bush, the Texas land commissioner and GOP victory chairman in Texas, did reluctantly endorse Trump in August.
Trump spoke of the lack of endorsement from Jeb Bush scornfully in June.
"Who the hell cares?" he said to supporters at a rally.
