Jeb Bush Calls Trump ‘Creature of Barack Obama’
U.S. Republican presidential hopeful Donald Trump on Monday told supporters he wanted to be “unpredictable” in a speech for supporters in New Hampshire, while competitor Jeb Bush said he wanted a chance to debate Trump one-on-one.
(Bush) “We’re living in a divided country right now and we need political leaders rather than continuing to divide us as both President Obama and Donald Trump do to unite us”.
The remarks come as Bush continues to hammer on Trump, releasing a video Wednesday that accused him of being the “chaos candidate”.
Trump, who publicly questioned the authenticity of Obama’s birth certificate during the latest election, started his 2016 campaign by promising to deport 11 million immigrants who are in the USA illegally. He also showered insults on Bush, who has called for his party to become more tolerant and inclusive.
Bush has been on the offensive against Trump, saying in a recent interview that Trump used to be a Democrat and that he wasn’t a “serious candidate” during an appearance on Fox News.
The hopeful GOP presidential candidate even shared a clip of his advice on Facebook, joking he gave a “master class” on selfie taking.
His claim has provoked a lively online debate.
Feeling comfortable in his home state, Bush grew a little more candid.
“It is a requirement that you take one, and I do it with great joy in my heart”, he said to applause at the Forum Club, an event held in West Palm Beach, Florida.
“We have a Super PAC that is advertising on TV at a rate that is comparable to any other campaign, if not more, and we’re reallocating our resources to voter contact and a ground game that will be second to none”, he said, NBC News reported.
But then Donald Trump happened, and the billionaire blowhard who is anathema to the Republican establishment, soared to the top of the polls, while spending only a token amount of his personal fortune. “You name it, I’ll do it”.
