On October 19, 2017, Bush gave a speech at a Bush Institute’s Spirit of Liberty event in New York (at the exact same location where President Obama criticized the Trump Administration the previous month), and he criticized President Trump and his policies as "nativist," though he did not call them out by name. He stated his support for globalism, free trade, and neoconservatism, stating that "we cannot wish globalism away."<ref>Spiering, Charlie (October 19, 2017).
