Today, Trump slammed Jeb for trying to justify what he says is an unjustifiable war:
“He said ‘skin in the game.’ I don’t know if you saw his recent statement…We’ve spent two trillion dollars, thousands of lives lost, wounded warriors who I love all over the place. And he said we have to prove we have skin in the game. I think it may be one of the dumbest statements I ever heard.”
Trump concluded that thought by saying Jeb should apologize to the families affected by the war.
Jeb seemed to be one of Trump’s favorite targets at the fair. The latter also accused him of being a ‘puppet to his donors.’

Truth is truth.
If I had never favored Trump, he’d be my guy after this rant. Totally agree that politicians are the stupidest bunch ever lived.
Jeb isn’t that bright. And, it’s becoming apparent with greater and greater clarity.
The Donald is smart— he knows El Yebbers has a deep war chest so the ads will be coming out in multiples. Might as well proactively frame the picture before it gets painted.
Totally agree that politicians are the stupidest bunch ever lived.
Amen!
I like a lot about Trump, but if he’s going to sound off like this about other candidates, he needs to be ready to accept incoming fire in return. Don’t get like Perry, appointing yourself as official arbitrator on what is or is not acceptable.
No kidding
My uncle at 19 killed in the Ardennes
My SEAL cousin was horribly wounded in Afghanistan
I would never dream of skin by proxy like that
Maybe if it was your daddy or spouse
Jeb does not seem to have his heart n the race. I get the feeling he wishes he were somewhere else. Trump can smell that.
Another Bush or Clinton is NOT acceptable.
My opinion of Jeb was very low before the debate, and it went down after. 2015 politics just simply isn’t 1980s politics. Honesty and relating to people who’ve been tricked and lied to for so many years is foremost. We hate politicians who just lie and promise stuff.
Jeb looked like yer pa’s candidate, coming out spitting stats. Oy vey. So middle school. We really don’t want the same old candidate memorizing policy figures for a gold ribbon.
Trump can smell that.
I think you are right.
He hasn’t been taking “incoming” since he announced his candidacy? Guess I missed this.
I get the same feeling. There is no fire in his belly for the job. I’ve wondered if his family pushed him into this? Why does he even want the job as president? I haven’t heard any answers to that.
Trump has 400 million in hard cash of his own and his assets cash flow over a million a day net net
He can bankroll a billion and make it up fast especially if elected given the boom he’d engender from executive orders alone
Trump wants all to do well as private citizens
That cuts him from many elitists right there
Trump only responds to those who have been incoming on him. If you think otherwise, you are not paying attention!
Cookin’ with Jeb. How exciting. Did they use his overpriced guacamole bowls?
