BARRINGTON, N.H. — Donald Trump ripped Jeb Bush on Common Core, immigration, his ever-changing Iraq War comments — and even whether the former Florida governor’s heart is really in the race.
“His statements are a disaster,” Trump said. “That answer that he gave that he would do the Iraq War all over again, I think it’s a disaster. Now, he retracted it a day later, but that’s only because his people said retract it.”
Trump also slammed Bush for supporting the federal Common Core education standards and labeled him “weak” on immigration.
But he also questioned whether Bush even wants to run.
“I think Jeb is a reluctant warrior,” Trump said after a business roundtable in Portsmouth. “I actually don’t think he wants to run. I watch him. I’m very good at reading people. I made a lot of money because I can read people. And when I watch Jeb Bush, he doesn’t want to run.

If elected president, Trump would make foreign trade an asset instead of a liability as it currently exists.
There are plenty of Bush’s left.
They’ll be running Bush’s kid one day too. It’s a done deal.
Trump contributed more than $100K to the Clinton crime family.
No thanks Donald.
His son is already a state official in Texas.
Well of course he is.
They’ll be running Bush’s kid one day for POTUS too. It’s a done deal.
Against Chelsea Clinton or one of the Obama daughters. Like Honduras or Nicaragua.
I think Trump is pretty astute on that opinion of Bush.
It is either quite accurate and true, or Bush is simply to nervous, or shy, to function in a national campaign.
Jeb and Hillary both seem quite uncomfortable in their own skin.
I agree with Trump on this.
Pot. Kettle. Idiots.
If Trump were president, he’d export every job he could and bankrupt the country like he’s sone to four companies.
Time for Agent Orange.
I disagree with him on too many things and am a Cruz guy, but it would be wild to see what he could do with the economy in 4 years.
Cruz could make him an advisor :) he’s be better than Sharpton lol.
Give me some evidence about jobs he has exported. Then I am open to believe you. Without such evidence it is just hot air.
I like Cruz. And I like 4 or 5 others running. This time we have a slew of good candidates. And yes, Trump would make a very good Sec of Commerce.
$100k is peanuts for a person doing $Billions in business every year. I am guessing you never ran a large business.
Romney didn’t want the job either. This makes Jeb the perfect insider nominee.
You are completely right about that.
100%.
McCain was, just as bad.
Pennies are peanuts to me, but I’ve never given one to a democrat or one of their foundations.
Using his own reasoning, Trump should shut the hell up and go away. Trump isn’t going to run either. He is a self-aggrandizing gas bag. He has deep pockets. Put up or shut up.
