I've found the Donald Trump-Jeb Bush Twitter debate oddly amusing. Perhaps I find it sadly humorous that two 60+-year-old men running for president would engage in such a juvenile discussion, or I'm just easily entertained.
For anyone who hasn't heard about this back-and-forth among the two Republican candidates, it started with Donald Trump's criticism of Jeb's older brother, former president George W. Bush, at the GOP CNN debate last month. Jeb responded by adamantly defending his brother, contending that he kept America safe. About a month later, the Donald decided to resort back to the topic, stating outright that 9/11 occurred on George W. Bush's watch, which, as history would tell us, is accurate.
Jeb Bush then responded with this tweet:
"How pathetic for @realdonaldtrump to criticize the president for 9/11. We were attacked & my brother kept us safe."
Read that tweet again. Yes, you read it correctly - "We were attacked & my brother kept us safe." How does that work exactly? If Jeb's brother was president when we were attacked, how then did he keep us safe? I'm sorry, but Jeb can't have it both ways. He could have said, "After the 9/11 attacks, for the most part, my brother kept us safe," but he can't say, "We were attacked & my brother kept us safe." Those two events can't coexist peacefully with one another, unlike fish and humans, according to Dubya.
Given that tweet, expect Jeb to tweet the following messages at some point:
- "The mass shooting was tragic, but guns kept the victims safe."
- "I cheated on my wife last night & was loyal in doing so."
- "I did fail a class in college & was honored with an academic award."
- "The car accident was brutal & the insurance company loves me for it."
- "The woman may have had an abortion, but she never had sex."
- "When I contradict myself, I'm really not."
Uh huh...and this is supposedly the "smart Bush"...
