"Thousand points of light," he said. "What does that mean? I know one thing. 'Make America Great Again' we understand. Putting America first we understand. Thousand points of light, I never quite got that one. What the hell is that? Has anyone ever figured that one out? It was put out by a Republican, wasn't it?"
Former White House press secretary Ari Fleischer, who worked for President George W. Bush, called the remarks "so uncalled for."

You Democrats mocked Bush 41 constantly for his statement about "thousand points of light." Obviously when Trump was a NY Democrat he heard this mocking of Bush all the time.
So you are now criticizing Trump for agreeing with you?
I can't blame Trump here. All the Bush's were silent on Obama, supposedly out of respect for the office, yet have condemned Trump. The Bush's apparently are all swamp creatures.
