Donald Trump Jr. Unloads On Jeb Bush For His Quip About Having Kids Who 'Actually Love Me'

The former Republican nominee Jeb Bush poked at President Donald Trump during his speech at Yale, alluding that the president’s children don’t love him.

According to the Yale Daily News, he said that he returns home every day to his children ‘who actually love me.'

But Donald Trump’s sons decided to defend their father, trying to prove Jeb that he is wrong.

Don Trump Jr. was furious to hear the joke to which he didn’t wait long to respond:

Jeb! I love everything about my father. I love that he’s a fighter, I love that he has guts, I love that he’s President (all those things you’re not). Also love that he learned enough about politics in a few weeks to dismantle you piece by piece despite it being your life’s work.

Eric Trump backed his brother’s words by saying:

I actually love my father very much. #PleaseClap.

The “please clap” is a dig to a Jeb Bush’s campaign when he asked a New Hampshire audience to applaud him in a video that went viral soon after. This illustrated the less-than-enthusiastic response his campaign received.

After Trump’s sons lashing out, Kristy Campbell, a spokesman for Bush, said that Jeb didn’t aim at Trump.

“Governor Bush's comments were reported incorrectly. His comments were unrelated to the president or his family.

President Trump didn’t respond himself as of yet, but in the meantime, he endorsed Jeb’s son in a Texas political race. He paid the favor back because George P. Bush supported him in the presidential elections. Donald tweeted:

Texas LC George P. Bush backed me when it wasn’t the politically correct thing to do, and I back him now.

George P. Bush backed Donald when his whole family did not support the current US President.
