There’s a thick and blurry line between being politically incorrect, and being a total schmuck with uncontrollable word dysentery; Trump took to pole vaulting over it like two months ago. Now he’s taking it to a whole new level.
Donald Trump took an unprovoked slap at George W. Bush in an interview broadcast Friday, blaming the former U.S. president for not preventing the 9/11 terror attacks.
Asked by Bloomberg Television anchor Stephanie Ruhle how Americans might trust him to keep them safe, the Republican presidential front-runner bristled at the mention of Bush’s role as comforter-in-chief after 9/11, and President Barack Obama’s similar position following the December 2012 school shooting in Newtown, Connecticut.
‘OK, I think I have a bigger heart than all of them,’ he said. ‘I think I’m much more competent than all of them.’
‘When you talk about George Bush – I mean, say what you want, the World Trade Center came down during his time.’
Ruhle quickly interjected with a defense of our former Commander-in-Chief, a man of character who has more respect and dignity than Trump will ever dream of having.
‘Hold on! You can’t blame George Bush for that.’
‘He was president, OK?’ Trump responded. ‘Blame him or don’t blame him, but he was president. The World Trade Center came down during his reign.’
His “reign,” Donald? I mean, we knew how you felt about the presidency before, but thank you for once again clarifying.
Jeb Bush hit back in support of his brother.
How pathetic for @realdonaldtrump to criticize the president for 9/11. We were attacked & my brother kept us safe.

This is our current frontrunner: Bush is responsible for 9/11. What else will it take before this RINO is shown the door?#DonaldTrump #tcot

Hey, Trumpkins, your candidate just parroted the Media Matters position on Bush and 9/11. FYI, RINOs.

Sadly, this response came after Trump was asked if he could reassure the American people after such a crisis. George W. Bush wasn’t perfect, no President is, but he reassured the people of this nation after the largest terrorist attack they had ever witnessed on their own soil. He mourned with us, he cried with us, and we remember. Trump is just a Democrat in Republican clothing, and he proved that yet again today. I wonder how he’ll prove it tomorrow?
