Former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush, the first establishment Republican casualtyin Donald Trumps rise to the presidency, took some shots at President Trumpand the celebrification of American politics onSaturday at OzyFest in New York City.

Bush also accused some of his fellow Republicans of being inconsistent on Russia.

If Barack Obama did something as it related to Russia and you get, you say this is outrageous, all this stuff, then when your guy does the same thing, have the same passion to be critical, according to a video clip posted on Twitter by Business Insider politics reporter Maxwell Tani.

Bush told Trumps Democratic critics that Trump isnt a true Republican.

Hes not really affiliated with the party, just to be clear. Hes Trump, Bush said, according to an Associated Press account.

We may have really talented people that are really good on TV being our leaders for a while until we sort things outIdeas and policy really matter. Its not just about personality, said Bush.

While critical of the president, Bush said he wants Trump to be successful.

I find him deeply troubling in a lot of ways. But I pray for him every night. And I pray for our country every night, Bush said. I care about my grandkids.
