Trump and Bush continue fight over 9/11

Republicans overwhelmingly defend President Bush’s handling of the immediate aftermath of 9/11, and Trump’s weakest moments in the campaign have arisen when he’s forced to discuss foreign policy and national security, as Bush’s campaign highlighted in a recent video.

The spat first began when Jeb Bush, in the second GOP presidential debate, commended his brother’s leadership in the aftermath of 2001 terrorist attack. “Do I blame George Bush?”. “But I’m still going to vote for him”. “We were safe.’ Well the World Trade Center just fell down”, Trump said on the program.

Bush was president during the attacks that killed about 3,000 people.

“Look, my brother responded to a crisis, and he did it as you would hope a president would do”, Bush told CNN on Sunday, after leading White House contender Donald Trump blamed Bush for the attacks. I mean, it’s hard to believe that you had these 18 or 19 people and nobody – nobody – knew what they were doing.

Trump has been goading both Floridians on Twitter, at rallies and in interviews.

During his interview, Trump continued to reiterate that he’s “extremely, extremely tough on immigration”, while sidestepping direct accusations. Trump has said he would allow the “good” immigrant who are deported to return to the U.S.in an “expedited” manner. “After 9/11”, Jeb Bush wrote, “my brother rallied the nation, calmed our fears and kept us safe”.

Trump is known for attacking political correctness, and he is beloved for it by many of his supporters on the right.

“For him, it looks as though he’s an actor playing a role of the candidate for president”, Mr Bush said of Trump on CNN’s Sunday talkshow, State of the Union, in the tit-for-tat row.

It’s not about the broad policy issue, is were we doing the job of protecting our embassies and our consulates and during the period, those hours after the attack started, could they have been saved? They all found that no one in the government was at fault for gross negligence, although the Obama administration’s response could have been improved.
