Front-runner Donald Trump says that fellow GOP presidential candidate Jeb Bush
keeps attacking him because the former Florida governor is
“embarrassed” that he has failed to gain traction on the campaign trail
and in the polls.
“Well, look, Jeb has had a very hard time,” Trump said via telephone on “Good Morning America”
today. “He’s way down in the polls. He’s doing very poorly. He’s
embarrassed by what’s happening. So he has to attack me to try to get
his numbers up.
“The last thing we need is another
Bush. We’ve seen what happens. The last thing we need is another Bush
and he understands that and the voters understand that. You know, to
compare me to Michael Moore; that one hasn’t happened before.”
Bush has defended his brother
George W. Bush against Trump's saying that the former president is to
blame for the 9/11 terrorist attacks.
"That
Trump echoes the attacks of Michael Moore and the fringe left against
my brother is yet another example of his dangerous views on
national-security issues," Jeb Bush wrote in an op-ed published Tuesday
by the National Review. "This is a man who has previously stated he
would prefer Hillary Clinton had led negotiations on the nuclear
agreement with Iran."
Bush has also slammed Trump for his lack of policy credentials.
"Donald
Trump is not a serious candidate as it relates to foreign policy,” he
told Fox News last week, adding that he doesn’t believe Trump has the
capability of creating strategy overseas.
Trump
also today weighed in on Rep. Paul Ryan, who announced overnight that
he will run for speaker of the House if the entire Republican Party
unites around him.Trump confessed to liking Ryan personally, but thinks the Wisconsin
congressman can be stronger on immigration. “Had we had strong
immigration, my policies, you may not have had the World Trade Center’s
coming down,” Trump said. “I feel very very strongly about immigration
and we have to be strong on illegal immigration. He is not there.”
