Donald Trump is now taunting Jeb Bush for turning to his "mommy" to help save his floundering campaign but the former Florida governor says his mother, former First Lady Barbara Bush, is ready to rumble.
Friday
night, Trump tweeted at Bush, "Just watched Jeb's ad where he
desperately needed mommy to help him. Jeb --- mom can't help you with
ISIS, the Chinese or with Putin"
Trump is referring to a new video by the Bush campaign
where his mother takes a more visible role in his campaign. In the
video, she takes what could be interpreted as a dig at Trump about his
policies and how Trump says "how popular they are."
"When
push comes to shove, people are going to realize Jeb has real
solutions. Rather than talking about how popular they are, how great
they are, he's doing it because he sees a huge need and it's not being
filled by anybody," she said in the video. "Of all the people running,
he seems to be the one who can solve the problems. I think he'll be a
great president."
Bush responded to Trump's tweet later Friday, writing, "I'd be careful
Donald" with an embedded photo of the former first lady wearing football
gear with eye block painted across her cheeks.
On Saturday, Trump continued to hit back
at Bush at a campaign event in Sioux Center, Iowa, saying that Bush is
"weak" and "pathetic," referencing Bush's ad with his mother.
"I don't think he's a smart person, honestly," Trump said.
