Republican candidate Donald Trump says he "felt bad" after being "too rough" on Jeb Bush in his campaign announcement this week.
"I think he's a nice person. I actually felt bad because I hit him very hard one day like two days ago, three days ago, and I said, why am I hitting him so hard?" Trump told CNN's Jake Tapper in an interview set to air Sunday during "State of the Union."
Trump grilled many of his Republican competitors this week in his announcement speech, dropping the politeness and subtler digs most other politicians stick to and he delivered his sharpest hits on Bush.
"I don't see how he can get the nomination," Trump said in his kickoff. "He's weak on immigration and he supports Common Core. How the hell can you vote for this guy?"
Trump told CNN that the Bush campaign is taking him seriously and that he knows it because "they do call, and they write, and just believe me they take me very seriously."
On reflection, the grandiose billionaire told Tapper he might have gone too far knocking Bush.
"I actually saw myself a couple of days ago and I said that's, that's too rough. Because I really think he's a nice man, I think he's a wonderful man. I don't know if I want him negotiating with ISIS. I think Trump will do a lot better. You think so too, but you're not going to say it."

I’m sure Trump felt real bad...
Bewahahahahaha..
Just making stuff up now, eh?
Don’t worry, Jen lnows you are helping him.
Exactly. Self censorship on display. Oddly, turns out Trump has masters. Independence, a hallmark of his bid, seems a lie.
not buying or selling
Trump’s tongue-in-cheek demeanor doesn’t translate well into a purely text format, but it was clear he was damning jeb with faint praise.
Trump’s master is George Soros. Whenever he needs a bailout, he runs to Uncle George.

Trump sued for $40 million by lender on Chicago tower
The lead lender on the Trump International Hotel & Tower is suing Donald Trump, seeking to collect on a $40-million personal guarantee the brash New York developer made on the 92-story high-rise.
How does that make George Soros “Trump’s bankruptcy bailout sugardaddy”??? The only George mentioned in that article is “Trump executive George Sorial”. Either you’re lying or you need new glasses.
On second though, I may have spoken too harshly. You’re probably just confused.
Soro bailed out Trump in that deal. First time Trump ever gave a personal guarantee and he needed to be bailed out by Soros. And Soros screwed him on the terms. LOL!
Again, there’s no mention of Soros in that article, so you haven’t provided any evidence at all you back up your claim. Now you’re doubling down, but still can’t provide any evidence.
Funny how the Soros apologists forget about that deal and how he screwed Trump on the bailout.
Again, where’s your source? Repeating it doesn’t make it true, and questioning you doesn’t make me a “Soros apologist”. The best you can do is link to an article that doesn’t even mention Soros. Put up or shut up.
If you weren’t paying attention back then, it’s too bad. I’m not going to spoonfeed you.
Exactly.
I find Trump refreshingly honest. And it’s nice to see confidence and big brass ones for a change.
Compare and contrast to Boner and Mitch (rhymes with...)
