From I read, I wouldn't call this anything near a Jeffersonian lie. Trump knows there is a public record on this stuff and Bloomberg has already published a long article on the details of it - It's totally public knowledge. So this would be like Bill Clinton AFTER the evidence of Monica came out, AFTER books had been written on it saying 'nothing happened.'

Trump isn't that stupid. He objected to the way Bush laid it out.

From Politifact, which I'm going to judge to be slightly Jeb biased but probably not enough to matter in this case:

We didn’t find that Trump directly petitioned the state for gambling, but there’s a pile of evidence that Trump was pursuing a deal to operate casinos on Seminole land in Florida. And at the same time, Trump gave money to Bush and the state party during Bush’s 1998 race for governor.

Trump said it was "totally false" that he sought casino gambling and failed, but we find that Bush has the better part of this fight. We rate Bush’s statement Mostly True.

Not Jeffersonian. Political.
