I’m starting to think that Trump has a crush on Bush. He’s at like 1% in Trump is still obsessed with him.
JEB! did not read the Art of the Deal! ;-)
Fight Back
Much as it pays to emphasize the positive, there are times when the only choice is confrontation. In most cases I’m very easy to get along with. I’m very good to people who are good to me. But when people treat me badly or unfairly or try to take advantage of me, my general attitude, all my life, has been to fight back very hard. The risk is that you’ll make a bad situation worse, and I certainly don’t recommend this approach to everyone. But my experience is that if you’re fighting for something you believe in— even if it means alienating some people along the way— things usually work out for the best in the end.
When the city unfairly denied me, on Trump Tower, the standard tax break every developer had been getting, I fought them in six different courts. It cost me a lot of money, I was considered highly likely to lose, and people told me it was a no-win situation politically. I would have considered it worth the effort regardless of the outcome. In this case, I won— which made it even better.
When Holiday Inns, once my partners at the Trump Plaza Hotel and Casino in Atlantic City, ran a casino that consistently performed among the bottom 50 percent of casinos in town, I fought them very hard and they finally sold out their share to me. Then I began to think about trying to take over the Holiday Inns company altogether.
Even if I never went on the offensive, there are a lot of people gunning for me now. One of the problems when you become successful is that jealousy and envy inevitably follow. There are people— I categorize them as life’s losers— who get their sense of accomplishment and achievement from trying to stop others. As far as I’m concerned, if they had any real ability they wouldn’t be fighting me, they’d be doing something constructive themselves.

Its an "anti-establishment" moment. Whatever Jeb is, Trump knows Jeb is a face of the supposed "establishment," whether real or imagined. Also, going after the Bush family will appeal to many Democrats.
It will be Bush vs Hillary in November as picked by the elites month ago. This other stuff is just a show for the idiots who beleive elections are legit. With either one the elites can stock up and escape to another country before the collapse of America.
Do not forget that Bush is the GOPe waterboy. They will do everything possible to get him the nomination. They don’t want Cruz, Rubio is a second stringer and everyone else is either dropping out or will soon. Bush is their guy and they will do whatever it takes to shove him down the throats of the voters.................
If Cruz did this we would be hearing about how it was the greatest political move in history and proof that God has anointed him.
Either Trump has a crush of Jebbie or he is really worried about him. Why else would he go out of his way to get his domain name and hurl insults?
It’s true. jebbush.com really does go to Trump.
How negligent Jeb is.
That said, the obsession with Jeb is to take him out. He has the most potential resources and the most political connections.
If it's still wiggling, it needs more stomping. No mercy for the establishment globalist commies.
Yeah but Bush keeps getting up after each knock down. He will not go away and he keeps punching and kicking.
Its War, not Tiddly Winks.
No but everyone was saying that Bush is popular in South Carolina. He is just making sure he does not do well in South Carolina. It is not unusual to go after adversaries during a primary. I guess you would run on just issues?
Trump has had this internet domain link for months now.
Most folks I know think it was pretty darned clever to think of this, and nab the domain while it was available.
Bushie is Trumps widdle straw-man.
this happened several months ago.....some ‘news’ outlets aren’t
Isnt he perpetuating a fraud
As long as Bush is in the race something fishy is going on.
Be grateful at least one candidate has the insight to see that.
I think Bush is still a threat, The Bush family wields immense influence.
Obsessed? No. Aware? Yes.
Who do you think Cruz, Rubio, & Kasich will give their delegates to when they've been defeated?
I'm really enjoying people like you and Bush getting the hood slammed on their heads repeatedly.
But, Cruz is the dirty trickster.... /s
