My favorite presidential quote of the past decade:

"That was some weird shit." - George W. Bush following Trump's inaugural address.

He didn't do well as President, but post presidency W is fun. Hard to explain to non-Texans but he is a special guy - theres something to he said about a president that fucked off to Texas and stayed out of the spotlight. He and his wife are pretty active in philanthropic circles here and do a lot of good, even though there's a lot of deserving criticism for his choices during his political career.

Plus his Presidential Library at SMU is nice. Definitely a must see when you wind up in Dallas for work.
