(MAGA) agenda, according to the Daily Mail.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cNow, rumors are stirring of a plot to end the so-called \u2018Bush Exile\u2019 and take back the GOP from the so-called scourge of

lying in wait to take over when Trump is gone,\u201d the report said. \u201cAnd, while the former president is determined not to publicly criticize Trump \u2013 much to the frustration of some of his former aides \u2013 he may not be averse to quietly helping to shape the Republican Party\u2019s long-term future.\u201d<\/p>\n<div class=\"twitter-tweet twitter-tweet-rendered\"><iframe
