WASHINGTON — For all the lingering tensions between President Donald Trump and former President George W. Bush, Trump’s White House shares one thing in common with his Republican predecessor’s: People. Trump has installed more than three dozen veterans of the Bush administration, putting them in charge of running agencies, implementing foreign policy and overseeing his schedule. “If you told me that a Republican president was going to get elected and his tax reform would have me paying more? That’s just a tone deaf idea.”White House officials said it was only natural for Trump to cultivate former members of the Bush administration. Trump’s nominee to head Homeland Security, Kirstjen Nielsen, worked for the agency during the Bush administration.
