Former Florida governor Jeb Bush offered a rhetorical hat tip to one-time rival President Trump on Friday for the nations surging economy.
The man deemed low-energy Jeb on the 2016 campaign trail by Mr. Trump took to Twitter to marvel at Americas high-octane economic growth 4.1 percent in the second quarter.
Todays news confirms that 4% growth isnt just aspirational, its achievable through policies that unleash the power of the market, Mr. Bush wrote. Credit to @POTUSs economic policies. To sustain this growth, we must pursue a free trade agenda and move to a merit-based immigration system.
Mr. Bush was one of the billionaires staunchest critics during the 2016 presidential election cycle.
I cant vote for Hillary Clinton and I cant vote for Donald Trump, and it breaks my heart, Mr. Bushsaid during a July 2016 interview on MSNBC. This is my the first time in my adult life Im confronted with this dilemma.
Politico noted the bitter-sweet news for Mr. Bush by revisiting his 2015 assertion that 4 percent growth was indeed possible.
The target
was 104% nonsense according to a Vox headline, the website wrote on Friday. Economists on Bushs Promise: Close to 0 Percent Chance of 4 Percent Growth, was the headline on a blog post from The New York Times Upshot blog. Economists who spoke to Politico at the time were equally skeptical.
President Trump told reporters that the nations annual growth rate is the highest its been in over 13 years.
Weve turned it all around, Mr. Trump said. These numbers are very, very sustainable. This isnt a one-time shot. America is being respected again and America is winning again because were finally putting America first.(continued)

This phenomenal growth is a product of President Trump removing many rules and regulations on our business enterprises and tax cuts on business and the people alike. The business enterprises are what did it, Trump made it possible.
It should be noted that although the people and business received big tax cuts, the tax revenue to government is at a all time high. Capitolism works!

Don’t be fooled by George P. Bush the ineligible, he’s just as much an open borders loon as the rest of them.

Bush the Elder had a few good moments but the rest of the clan have been an incredible disappointment.
So wasn't this the same chameleon who was attacking Our President upon his return from Helsinki? I thought so.
Let's see where Low Energy stands when the administration hits the next pot hole on the road to greatness? Back in my day we used to call them fair weather friends.....

The Bush Crime Clan is seeking to legitimize their reentry into main stream politics.

No, what we need to do is vanish all RINOs from off the planet. What a two-faced a-hole LE Jeb is. Thanks 2ndDivisionVet.
