Donald Trump's presidential campaign slogan is "Make America Great Again!" — but Jeb Bush says Trump's campaign is all about himself.
“Here’s a guy, larger than life, it’s all about him,” Bush said of the GOP presidential front-runner during a speech in Norfolk, Va. on Friday, according to The Washington Times.
“I wake up thinking, ‘Wow, people are really struggling and suffering,’” Bush said. “That’s what I focus on, that’s what I think about: How do we make sure that people can be lifted up?”
“For him, it’s all about him,” he added of Trump. “He’s tapped into this anger and angst that Washington’s not working. I totally get it.”
Bush’s remarks come as Trump leads the race for the GOP’s presidential nomination next year in national polls.
The former Florida governor argued Friday that the political establishment ignores Trump at its own peril, given the outspoken billionaire’s recent success.
“This is a guy who’s the front-runner,” Bush said. “He should be treated like a front-runner, not as some kind of alternative universe to the political system.”
“And if that’s the case, you’re [going to have] a different conversation about Mr. Trump,” he added.
Bush said he plans to best Trump for the GOP’s presidential nomination by exposing the business mogul as a false conservative.
“I respect the fact that people are supporting him for legitimate reasons of anger about the dysfunction in Washington,” he said.
“But when they hear about what his views are, the cost of building, you know, the whole immigration deal, it’s not a conservative proposal he’s making,” Bush said of Trump’s official immigration plan.
“It’s going to cost hundreds of billions of dollars, violate civil liberties, challenge our freedom in so many ways,” he added.

I wonder who Jeb’s campaign is all about……………..
If I were running for office, my campaign would be all about me and what I planned to do if elected.
This guy is so out to lunch.
“I wake up thinking”
There is no way to varify this.

That Bush called it voodoo economics didn’t he?
‘I think I would avoid the word Mexicans and just say illegals.’
I use ‘foreign invaders.’ It’s accurate and captures both the magnitude and implications of the situation.
There was some kind of mind mapping episode recently wherein a bunch of words are put in front of a person and they are asked to pick one of them which is the first thing that comes to mind when a candidates name is mentioned.
For Clintoon, it was liar. For Jeb it was Bush.
That is good news actually because as much as Jebster wishes he could disattach his name from his brothers, he is going to go down with it because as much as some here think otherwise, he left an unpopular president and the one most responsible for the rise of what we have in the White Hut now.
Speaking of George, I note recently he has been making appearances. A guy who not one time uttered one word about what that POS in the white hut has done is now out there trying to pull up his brother. Just wow. We don’t need another stinkin Bush nor do we need another Clintoon.
oh, so we don’t want to build the wall and remove the illegals... because it’s too expensive to do so.
i see.
so his suggestion is to leave well enough along?
BRILLIANT! fix the problem by ignoring it... and get paid to do it!
/sarc
it amazes me he doesn’t understand that he just finished saying how people are upset at washdc for doing nothing about the problems we have... and his solution is to do nothing.
Jeb woke up thinking... Wow, Lehman brothers paid me $1.3 million just cause my name is Bush. Now, back to thinking about the little people.....
“Make America Great Again!”
Yep, that proves it’s all about Trump, all right.
“How do we make sure that people can be lifted up?”
Classic words of a big government, nanny-state advocate. Notice that someone else is doing the “lifting up”, rather than, say, providing opportunities for people to lift themselves up.
The Uniparty has gotten so blurred that there’s now not even a smidgen of difference amongst their candidates on the important issues.
Mmmm...
Jeb sound like a few people who relentlessly post here on FR, trying to convince everyone the same thing, thereby discrediting Trump.
Is Jeb one of those posters? Or does Jeb pay some of those posters?
Got a source? If so I’ll tweet it
“Bush said he plans to best Trump for the GOP’s presidential nomination by exposing the business mogul as a false conservative.”
Right, Yeb. Like you’re the real deal, right?
That’s almost as lame as Graham’s campaign director saying that polling inaccuracies were why Graham was polling at zero percent.
I don’t know why that picture reminds me of the Seinfeld episode where Kramer was on a panel being honored because they thought he was retarded.
You sure that is Soros in that picture?
Keep on Senior Yeb. Have you looked at YOUR poll numbers lately?
WOW! A talking shrub, how about that. I don’t think this guy wants to be president. Either that or he is the dumbest of the group.
