REPUBLICAN WHITE HOUSE hopefuls Donald Trump and Jeb Bush locked horns after frontrunner Trump implied that former president George W Bush shared some blame for the 11 September 2001 attacks.
“When you talk about George Bush, I mean, say what you want, the World Trade Center came down during his time,” Trump said on Bloomberg TV, in just his latest controversial remarks.
George W Bush was president during the attacks that killed about 3,000 people.
Jeb Bush, whose campaign for the White House has stuttered after a string of gaffes, branded Trump “pathetic”.
“We were attacked & my brother kept us safe,” Bush hit back on Twitter, the latest episode in a long-running and mounting feud between the pair.
Ratcheting up the row a notch further, Trump tweeted back: “You’re pathetic for saying nothing happened during your brother’s term when the World Trade Center was attacked and came down.”
Donald J. Trump / TwitterNo @JebBush, you’re pathetic for saying nothing happened during your brother’s term when the World Trade Center was attacked and came down.

Trump, who has surged into the lead for the Republican nomination at the expense of Bush, followed up with another barb at his campaign rival, tweeting: “Like it or not, our country needs more energy and spirit than you can provide!”

Bush bashing is a just cause.
I love bashing bush.
Bush,deserves a good licking.
2 cheeks of the same arse spouting the same crap.
Two gobsh!tes
God help America if either of them get elected…..
Really so you would like Hillary Clinton then or maybe Obama for another term .
Robert, Obama can’t serve another term, he has served two which is the the maximum allowed. He is a great President stuck with a ridiculous Republican Congress. Bernie Sanders would be best, then Hillary
I do know that . What makes you think Obama is a great president ?
Say whatever you want about Trump, but his foreign policy regarding the Middle East and Syria makes far more sense than the vast majority of the candidates, Democrat or Republican. Unlike Hilary or Jeb he’s on record as being opposed to the Iraq war from the very beginning.
He’ll really piss the Chinese off though. That’s my big concern about him.
Sgt pepper, I’d say the Chinese would love him cos he’d outsource all the jobs to them as they pay a pittence in wages.
He attacked the fcuk out of them a few years ago on manufacturing and national debt going so far as to say he wouldn’t be too worried about paying them back what was owed.
@ sertorius.This foreign policy?
“You don’t want to let people know what you’re going to do with respect to certain things that happen. You don’t want the other side to know, I don’t want people to know my thinking.”
or maybe this…

Trump is an idiot pure and simple.
Irrespective of who gets in they all have their ropes pulled by that small “democratic” middle eastern nation.
There will be more lies, war mongering and blood shed.
Confirmation if ever it were needed that right-wing conservatives are of low intelligence.
Every country gets the leader it deserves. Much as I love America I think Trump would fit the bill.
with all the guns in America nobody has taken a pot shot at this idiot
