The No. 1 target of Republican presidential front-runner Donald Trump's insults said in a Thursday interview that he finds the trash-talk "amusing."
Trump constantly calls former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush (R) a "low-energy" person, among other campaign-trail taunts.
Bush said on Fox News' "Special Report with Bret Baier" that the attacks don't bother him.
"No, because I work my tail off. I find it amusing," Bush said, according to an advance transcript provided by Fox News.
He added that he doesn't find all of Trump's statement funny, however — particularly the stuff he labeled divisive.
"Most of what Trump says I find amusing, except for the stuff that is hurtful, that I know for a fact when you think about people struggling and you think about the hardship that people are going through right now and some of the things he says are hurtful to them," Bush said....

It does indeed. Thanks for that very important contribution.
He'd probably be flipping burgers...
Maybe...
Your wrong, he wouldn't be able to compete with the Mexicans!
ROTFL! You’re right. I didn’t think about that.
That's the turtle in the middle of the highway.
He's joyful, but he's about to meet his maker.
Splaatt.
Why is that he never wears a tie at his campaign events?
“Low T”. XD
Here’s some lyrics I came up with about Jeb Bush’s lament, to be sung to: (I can’t get no) Satisfaction by the Rolling stones.
Maybe Paul Shanklin could do a parody for this...LOL!
Jeb’s Lament
-—— ———
I can’t get no...satisfaction,
I’m not getting any, voter reaction.
I tried and I tried,
Lord you know I’ve tried,
No matter what I do,
Trump’s got me hog-tied.
I can’t get no...satisfaction,
Can’t get no, campaign traction.
I speak Spanish to the crowd,
I get my wife involved,
But no matter what I do,
Nothin’ ever gets solved.
I can’t get no...satisfaction,
I’m not getting any, voter reaction.
The money’s drying up,
My donors are spent,
Most al the polls I see,
got me ‘round six percent.
I can’t get no...satisfaction,
Can’t get no, campaign traction.
It wasn’t supposed,
to be this way,
The GOP establishment,
Has ruined MY day!
I can’t get no...satisfaction,
I’m not getting any, voter reaction.
I tried and I tried,
Lord you know I’ve tried,
No matter what I do,
Trump’s got me hog-tied.
I can’t get no...satisfaction,
And with good reason. Trump has a knack of putting people down with a few words that seem to stick forever. I can no longer look at Bush without first thinking, “low energy.” And then Bush lives up to the description.
In the UK they have the Monster Raving Loony party, and they dress like the fellow there. I guess the Loonies have endorsed Jeb
“some of the things he [Trump] says are hurtful to them,” Bush said....”
Yes, El Jebbo, it’s critical for you to NEVER say ANYTHING that MIGHT be “hurtful” to some ONE person, right?
A person who says nothing that MIGHT offend some ONE might be defined as a complete squish, and it MIGHT be why you are consistently polling in the single digits, and it MIGHT be why most people don’t trust you, and it MIGHT be why most people don’t think you are capable of being a leader, and it MIGHT be why almost everyone believes that if you were the nominee, Hillary or Bernie or Joe would kick the living schit out of you in the general election.
But Trump is also driving a wedge between Rubio and Bush with Rubio now in the lead. Protege outclasses the mentor. It will cause friction between the two and help destroy and RNC plans against Trump.
100%... 
What’s the deal with Heb and the faggot?
People are being hurt badly, worldwide, by what the Ayatollah Obama DOES. Let’s get on with trying to rescue people and stop worrying about hurt feelings.
Can’t someone on his team tell him how feckless he sounds?
Whenever he notices Rod Webber in the audience, the presidential candidate saves a few minutes at the end to invite the top hat-wearing peace activist to stand with him and say a prayer.
“Flower boy, come up here,” Bush said, gesturing to Webber to join him two weeks ago at the Veterans of Foreign Wars in Merrimack, New Hampshire.
“If you’ve gone to our town hall meetings, you’ve met a friend of mine, a brother from another mother,” Bush told the audience.
The former Florida governor pulled out a piece of paper, saying he had something special for Webber this time — a prayer written by George Washington — and the two bowed their heads as Bush read it aloud.
For the audience, it was a playful but puzzling moment. Here was Bush, a suit-sporting Republican calling for greater U.S. military engagement in the world, standing next to a bearded, sleeveless activist carrying flowers and wanting nothing more than less military involvement.
“It blows my mind on a continual basis, mainly because you take a look at me. You take a look at him. And ideologically speaking, we don’t exactly see eye to eye,” Webber said in an interview, talking about his relationship with Bush.
But Webber, who goes to events with all the presidential candidates and offers his “flowers for peace,” said Bush is his favorite Republican to be around because he’s the most “kind and cordial.”
When Webber prayed with Bush at the last town hall, the activist, who makes films and documentaries for his day job, also threw some shade at one of the other candidates, saying he had tried handing a flower to someone whose last name rhymes with “mump.”
“But I can’t get to him,” Webber said, drawing laughs from the audience. “He’s not a nice sort of guy like you are.”
“Well,” Bush said, with his arm clasped around Webber, “thank you, brother.”
Webber told CNN he had recently traveled to Michigan to try and hand Donald Trump a flower, but when he saw the GOP front-runner in the hallway, Trump brushed him off and didn’t accept it.
He’s also had interactions with other candidates but Webber said no one has quite embraced him like Bush, with the exception of one of the other more hawkish candidates, South Carolina Sen. Lindsey Graham.
Webber said he first met Bush at a Fourth of July parade in Amherst, New Hampshire, when he offered him a flower and asked Bush what he would do for peace. Bush promised to pray.
“And so the next time I saw him, I told him, ‘Hey man, how about I give you 20 flowers and you give me 20 prayers for peace.’ And so he did,” Webber explained in the interview, as a wilted flower stuck out from the side of his dark beard.
Another flower was sticking out from the chest pocket of his black vest, which he was wearing over a green sleeveless shirt.
Webber’s unique presence on the campaign trail has become a well-documented story in political media. But it’s his curious relationship with Bush that’s gaining more traction.
After their first interaction in July, Webber followed Bush to Iowa, and it’s “evolved from there,” he said.
He has since become a campaign favorite for the Bush staff. Last week, Webber bought the crew some pizza, and he helped put up chairs after the town hall was over. He couldn’t find an open flower shop, so he asked a nearby restaurant if he could purchase some flowers growing in the garden on their property.
Webber says he’s been to 45 out of the 50 states to promote his peace-seeking agenda, and he’s making a self-funded documentary about it along the way. He’s also raising awareness for legislation that would take leftover produce that normally goes to waste and give it to the hungry or veterans instead.
“Real action in the real world is the best way to affect change, even if it’s only making someone smile by offering them a flower,” he said.
His top hat had a piece of paper with the name of the bill that he thinks can enact change, and safety-pinned to his vest was a handwritten message: “#FIGHTINGHUNGER.”
Also on his vest last two weeks ago: A circle-shaped sticker that read “Jeb!”
now THAT'S funny!!!
Did you say Jeb or Eb? I can't tell the difference.
