Jeb Bush: I hope Melania takes Trump's phone away

Jeb Bush said Tuesday he hopes incoming first lady Melania Trump takes her husband’s cellphone away so he can focus on leading the country.

The former Florida governor and GOP rival to Donald Trump quipped during a lecture at the William Waldon Cameron Forum in Texas that he hopes "Melania steals his phone," noting the president-elect has been known for tweeting at odd hours of the night.

Bush said Tuesday he hopes the president-elect is successful. The two famously sparred during the 2016 Republican presidential primary debates and on the campaign trail before Bush dropped out in February.

Others have voiced concern about Trump's Twitter habits, including luminaries such as former Secretary of State Madeleine Albright, Secretary of State John Kerry and multiple lawmakers.

Melania Trump has herself pushed her husband to tweet less. She told NBC's "Today" in an April interview that tweeting is the one habit she wishes her husband would give up.

A report in The New York Times just before Election Day said that Trump's aides had taken away the then-GOP nominee's access to his Twitter account.

Trump has continued to use Twitter to knock rivals in recent weeks, going after "head clown" Senate Minority Leader Charles Schumer (D-N.Y.) and slamming unflattering media reports.

I wish Jeb’s wife would take his microphone away and go back out shoppin’ and finish spending his money.

Little Jeb will not be over his smashing defeat in the primaries for a long time. The media will continue to print his childish, spoiled anti-Trump crap.

Hey Jeb, do you still have YOUR cell phone??? Lots of calls to Mexico???

For the same money Jeb spent in the election he could have bought each of the people who voted for him a top of the line smartphone.

Jeb. The fries are done.

If Jeb wasn’t part of the Bush Dynasty and was just a regular guy trying to make it on his own he would probably be living in his Mom’s basement.
Not to mention he would probably be an additional user on his mom’s phone contract.

Edit:

If Yeb was just a regular guy trying to make it on his own.
That is not having the advantages of being part of the Bush Dynasty.
He would likely be living in his Mom’s basement.

Trump has continued to use Twitter to knock rivals in recent weeks

More like knock-out rivals.

Twitter gives Trump the ability to talk to the American people without his words being ignored or changed by the MSM propagandists. I wish more of our politicians would learn from his example and talk to us and not the enemedia.
