Jeb Bush is having a bad week. And, boy, it shows. [Video]

Jeb Bush has had a tough week on the campaign trail. And even he seems to admit it.

The former Florida governor, who it was once predicted would be one of the strongest candidates in the 2016 GOP field, has been going at it with Donald Trump for months. But this week, his campaign took on a different tone, when a clearly frustrated Bush let his anger show at campaign events in South Carolina, sometimes even becoming testy with his own supporters.

"I should stop campaigning, maybe, huh?" he said at a Wednesday rally. "Let's just - it's all done."

And when a young fan at a rally on Thursday asked Bush about his favorite book, he sarcastically replied, "Art of the Deal," Trump's 1987 bestseller.

Some of Bush's supporters are actually looking for more fire. "I think the campaign has been co-opted by the P.T. Barnum of our time," one supporter told Bush about Trump. "And I think he is getting you off your message -- your good message."

Another supporter, looking for more passion from the candidate, asked, "Can you be -- excuse me for saying in the vernacular -- a son of a bitch?"

I am going to keep promoting Jeb! and the Bush Crime Family as long as there's a single Republican still saying, "I think the Bush men are good/honorable/patriotic/Christian men."
