The Republican frontrunner has offered Bush the perfect chance to display some passion—but he’s declined to take it.
Donald Trump has gotten a boost in his efforts to maul Jeb Bush in recent days from an unexpected source: Jeb Bush himself.
Trump’s attack on Jeb isn’t mostly about issues. As with most things Trump, it’s mostly about persona. The Donald thinks Jeb is a dud. “He’s a man that doesn’t want to be doing what he’s doing,” Trump said in June. “I call him the reluctant warrior, and warrior’s probably not a good word. I think Bush is an unhappy person. I don’t think he has any energy.”
RELATED STORY
The Limits of Jeb Bush's Compassionate Conservatism
Over the last week, Jeb has proven Trump right. Trump, and his supporters, continue to demonize Mexican American illegal immigrants. On Tuesday, Trump threw the most popular Spanish-language broadcaster in America out of a press conference. That same day, Ann Coulter warmed up for Trump in Iowa by offering gruesome details of murders by Mexican “illegals,” and suggesting that once Trump builds his wall along America’s southern border, tourists can come watch the “live drone shows.”
This kind of thing likely enrages Jeb. He is, after all, married to a Mexican American immigrant. He speaks fluent Spanish. He calls his children Hispanic. He’s called himself Hispanic. He describes himself as “immersed in the immigrant experience.” When parents choose to enter the United States illegally because “their children didn’t have food on the table,” in their home country, Jeb said last year, “It’s an act of love. It’s an act of commitment to your family.

Come on, Jeb! Bush makes Jeb! Bush look like a wimp, he needs no help from the big bad Mr. Trump!
My pleasure and you’re more than welcome. :)
The only thing missing in this photo of Jeb is drool.
“He’s so dumb he thinks a Mexican border pays rent” - Foghorn Leghorn
If I was better at photoshop I’d add some drool..lol
He’s called himself Hispanic
If he were officially a democrat being a trans-ethnic might be a plus. Unfortunately he is a Republican during one of our worse times in modern history. We do not need a dud who
sounds more like Juan Valdez in the 100% Columbian coffee than a U.S. Presidential candidate.
He should just go back to his humble villa in meheeco. Maybe sip on some margaritas and listen to mariachi music while he continues to emerse himself in the mexican culture, that he strongly identifies with, for the rest of his life.
Walk off into the mexican setting sun amigo.
Don’t look back.
And never think about running for public office ever again.
God love ya yeb.
How Trump Makes Jeb Bush Seem Like a Wimp?
By shining a klieg light on Jeb!
Go home, John Ellis Bush. Adios.
It is photoshop. It is absolutely legitimate and relevant satire, but it is photoshop.
Can you believe the utter misguided, convoluted brazenness to call himself Hispanic?
lol, thank you for that - well that’s a fine photoshop job and I applaud the creator. thanks! ;)
Can you believe the utter misguided, convoluted brazenness to call himself Hispanic?
Even more brazen is the GOP is behind it. They think this man, or should i say hombre, should be the next leader of the free world?
Which home ? Coral Gables Fla? Homestead Tehas? Kennebunkport? New Haven?
Looks like the big donors don’t get to hand-pick the candidate this election.
I think Evita, er, Columba wears the pants in that family. She got Jebito to speak only Spanish at home, neutered and Mexicanized him. I have absolutely no respect for a “man” like that. He’s a wimp.
Columba is the “pegging” pygmy.
No, Trump does not make Bush seem like a wimp; Bush does that all on his own.
BTW, I don’t know the history of the Bush photo that you have posted here, but I suspect that it has been ‘shopped, friend.

A candidate can have the greatest policies in the world, but if he lacks the drive to fight the Washington Machine, he is little more than a guy screaming on the Internet.
But Yeb doesn’t even have good policy ideas.
