Trump, Bush call each other ‘pathetic’ in 9/11 spat
Republican White House hopefuls Donald Trump and Jeb Bush have locked horns again after frontrunner Trump implied that former president George W. Bush shared some blame for the September 11, 2001 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.
When you talk about George Bush, I mean, say what you want, the World Trade Center came down during his time.

It wasn’t the first time Trump has shunned what has become a something of an unspoken consensus among Republicans to either support or steer clear of the elder Bush brother’s presidential record. During an interview with Fox News earlier this month, Trump called George Bush’s presidency a “disaster,” and on CNN this week, he said the U.S. made a “terrible mistake” invading Afghanistan in 2001, agreeing with President Obama’s recently reported decision to keep a portion of U.S. forces in the country.
No @JebBush, you’re pathetic for saying nothing happened during your brother’s term when the World Trade Center was attacked and came down.
