Former Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid said that despite intensely criticizing George W. Bush in the past, he now wishes for the former President �every day”.

The Nevada Democrat said current President Donald Trump is so bad that he makes Bush look like �Babe Ruth.�

�I just have trouble accepting him as a person, so frankly, I don�t see that he�s doing anything right,� said Reid, who had earlier told the New York Times he saw Trump as �without question, the worst president we�ve ever had.�

CNN�s Dana Bash recalled that Reid had spoken similarly about Bush �about a dozen years ago� in an interview with her in Nevada, and often called Bush a �loser� and �liar�, among other names. Now, he is calling Trump names, such as �spoiled brat,� �conman,� and �human leach.� The former Senate Majority Leader said his attitude toward Bush has now changed because of Trump.

�In hindsight, I wish every day for a George Bush again,� he said, as Bash laughed surprisedly. Reid continued, �I think that he and I had our differences, but no one ever questioned his patriotism�. There�s no question in my mind that George Bush would be Babe Ruth in this league that he�s in with Donald Trump in the league. Donald Trump wouldn�t make the team.�

Trump shot back at Reid Monday morning on Twitter, accusing Reid of trying to restore his �failed career� in the Senate after getting �thrown out.�

Reid retired from the Senate in 2015 following an injury that nearly left him blind in one eye.

�He led through lies and deception, only to be replaced by another beauty, Cryin� Chuck Schumer. Some things just never change!� the President tweeted.

Former Senator Harry Reid (he got thrown out) is working hard to put a good spin on his failed career. He led through lies and deception, only to be replaced by another beauty, Cryin� Chuck Schumer. Some things just never change!
