.@JebBush, At the debate you said your brother kept us safe- I wanted to be nice & did not mention the WTC came down during his watch, 9/11.
(Excerpt) Read more at twitter.com ...
How true.
That’s a low blow, man.
Jeb’s the one who tried to use his brother for political points.
That's Trump.
Come on, Trump. I gave you the benefit of the doubt in the interview. Let’s not carry it too far, sir.
The 90s...a “holiday from history.”
So much poutrage. I was dumbfounded that El Jebbe actually made that claim during the debate and further surprised that Trump didn’t say anything.
Why? It happened in his term in office. Trump is not blaming President Bush for the attack.
The one huge objection I had was that W rushed all the Saudi families out of the USA:
I think that was a mistake throwing away all that leverage.
Yeah, why does he always push the envelope.
I think Iraq invasion was a disaster but that has nothing to do with 9/11.
More like Clinton cutting back on every agency and too busy chasing women.
True, but still a cheap shot of an administration in power eight months most of which was obstructed by democrats while being formed. Donald gets a demerit.
Hey if Bush wants to flat out lie, there is nothing wrong with grinding his face in it.
This is it! Trump’s poll numbers will nosedive! Oh no, you don’t criticize 9/11! < /GOPe and GOPe bootlickers >
This is why theBush Dynasty just needs to end .... If you say something about one brother, the other one is having a conniption fit ... I’m just so sick of it.
Go away Bush family.... America has had enough!!!
GW Bush also largely ignored the search for the mass murderer Bin Laden in favor of the Iraq invasion. In my view this was a crazy diversion of focus and resources based on bizarre assumptions (I remember Bush firing a budget type over his public assertion that Iraq would cost us $ 100 billion - it turns out it cost trillions; bin Laden needed to be nailed to the wall as soon as possible. I agree with Obama on virtually nothing but I will give him credit for taking out bin Laden.
“How is the truth a low blow?”
Do you really need that explained to you????
How about an example? If I said “Trump obviously maintains a ridiculous combover and chases young bottle blonde bimbos because he has immaturity issues”, that would both be true, and also a low blow.
It's an easy shot for someone who has never had anything to do with national security.
I used to like that Trump spoke up for those of us that are voiceless.
More and more I'm becoming convinced he's just an asshole.
TRUMP: Your brother -- and your brother's administration gave us Barack Obama, because it was such a disaster, those last three months, that Abraham Lincoln couldn't have been elected.Lots of crosstalk going on at the end of that excerpt, but the order of remarks is funny when taken literally.BUSH: You know what? As it relates to my brother, there's one thing I know for sure. He kept us safe.
I don't know if you remember...
(APPLAUSE)
BUSH: ... Donald...
(APPLAUSE)
BUSH: ... you remember the -- the rumble? You remember the fire fighter with his arms around it? He sent a clear signal that the United States would be strong and fight Islamic terrorism, and he did keep us safe.
TRUMP: I don't know. You feel safe right now? I don't feel so safe.
PAUL: May I respond?
WALKER:: That's because of Barack -- that's because of Barack Obama.
BUSH: That's -- that's my brother.
