Everyone keeps saying this, but it’s totally true: Donald Bigly Trump was the best thing to ever happen to George W. Bush’s legacy. We’re not even 100 days into the Trump Administration (100 Days of Bigly) and there are already hundreds of hot-takes, think-pieces and policy reassessments of the W. Bush administration and of Bush’s presidency. Personally, I WISH we were dealing with President Bush again. I loathed the man when he was in office, but there’s something about Emperor Bigly that makes me all nostalgic for Dubya. Anyway, Jenna Bush Hager works for NBC and she loves giving interviews about her family. She spoke to People Magazine about how she believes her dad is now and has always been a feminist. Hm.

When it comes to raising her daughters Poppy, 20 months, and Mila, 4, Jenna Bush Hager says she learned from the best: Her dad, former president George W. Bush and mom Laura Bush.

“I think the thing that my parents did so well and might surprise people, although I don’t know why, is that they really wanted us to be curious, independent thinkers,” the Today correspondent tells PEOPLE. “They wanted to raise us to have our own views and to be able to articulate them.” She says that as kids, she and her twin sister Barbara Pierce Bush “always felt sorry for the boys in her class because our dad led us to believe that we were the smartest, most capable kids out there,” she says.

“People laugh at this, but I think my dad was a feminist. He showed us that we could be whatever we wanted to be. I want my girls to feel that way. I want them to feel strong and capable and feel like they can conquer the world.”

Though bringing her daughters up in New York City might seem worlds away from the small town of Midland, Texas, where she grew up, she says that her goal as a mother doesn’t differ. “The most important thing is to raise loving humans,” she says.

“Her teacher said that Mila’s really empathetic and that when somebody in her class feels sad, she feels sad, and when somebody’s happy, she feels happy,” Bush Hager says. “Like I’m going to do right now, I broke into tears because, to me, that’s what’s most important is to raise really kind girls — and I’m so happy my girls are kind.”

I’m not so nostalgia-drunk about Dubya where I can suddenly claim that Bush was any kind of feminist. Feminism should not be defined as “simply not hating women” or “simply not assaulting women constantly.” If you’re defining feminism that way, then sure, Dubya was a feminist. Compared to Emperor Bigly, Dubya is a supremely woke feminist. But let’s not kid ourselves – Bush did a lot of sh-t to undermine women’s rights across the board. He loved his wife, he adored his daughters, he respected his female colleagues and he didn’t hate women at all. But he’s not a feminist.
