Despite this, Mr Bush and his wife Laura decided to attend the inauguration. In a statement, his office said this was because he was “pleased to be able to witness the peaceful transfer of power

He knew.

With the headline:

George Bush thought Donald Trump's inauguration 'was some weird s***'

I just assumed the article was bringing to light, now, something that was said 8 years ago, but no. It took me a minute to realize the article is actually contemporaneous to the quote, being dated Thursday 30 March 2017
