George W. Bush has largely kept a low profile in Texas since leaving office in 2009, focusing on painting, writing, and occasional public statements.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><a href=\"https:\/\/fortmic.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/image.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/fortmic.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/image.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1166\"\/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If this caption stems from a specific post or viral claim, it is almost certainly misinformation or a hoax.
