Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump launched another Twitter attack towards his political rival, Jeb Bush. Trump blamed Bush’s brother, former President George W. Bush for 9/11, and Bush responded.
The attack began when Trump told Bloomberg that “When you talk about George Bush, I mean, say what you want, the World Trade Center came down during his time.” Bush responded and called Trump “pathetic” on Twitter. The Trump Twitter storm followed.
.@JebBush, At the debate you said your brother kept us safe- I wanted to be nice & did not mention the WTC came down during his watch, 9/11.

No @JebBush, you’re pathetic for saying nothing happened during your brother’s term when the World Trade Center was attacked and came down.

Bush’s campaign manager, Danny Diaz, also got involved.
“Pathetic” is @realDonaldTrump who has temperament of 1st grader issuing late night taunts. Past bed time for delusional narcissist.

Many Trump supporters have blown off Trump’s outlandish comments and behaviors. They tally it up as “telling it like it is” and being “unscripted.”
