Ed Rogers, a former deputy assistant to President George H.W. Bush, appeared on CNBC's "Squawk on the Street" on December 5, 2018, to share memories of the late president. Rogers stated that Bush "didn't overly celebrate the demise of the Soviet Union" and was "very sensitive that we don't want to humiliate anybody here when they're going through their most stressful time." He added that Bush "had no permanent enemies" and "didn't believe in it." Rogers also discussed Bush's approach to politics, saying that Bush "came into the president's seat just at the dawn of what we now called the permanent campaign" but believed that "campaign politics was a seasonal sport" and that after an election, "you govern and good government is the best politics." Rogers characterized Bush as a "gentleman" who "didn't really particularly care for" the "modern nastiness" of presidential campaigns.
