    One of Donald Trump‘s favorite personal attacks on his presidential rivals is his branding of Jeb Bush as “low energy.” Bush has dismissed that label and laughed it off, but when he sat down with Bill O’Reilly tonight, O’Reilly very bluntly told him his energy is, in fact, lacking.O’Reilly told Bush he’s “been flat” and hasn’t “shown the passion and the anger and the outrage” that other candidates like Donald Trump have.Bush insisted he’s not “angry” but he’s plenty passionate about fixing the problems facing America.
