On the same day that Donald Trump released a video blasting Jeb Bush on immigration, the former Florida governor published a web video highlighting Trump’s past statements supporting liberal policy ideas.
The video titled “The Real Donald Trump” strings together clips of Trump saying he is pro-choice, noting that single-payer health care has worked in other countries, and praising Hillary Clinton.

Earlier on Monday, Trump published a video to Instagram hitting Bush for his April comment that undocumented immigrants enter the U.S. as “an act of love.” The former Florida governor responded with a memo noting that Trump has previously backed “soft-on-crime liberals.”
I loved the analysis that, basically, Trump is pandering to the GOP Base absolutely perfectly. He’s got the right mix of economic populism and abject racial hatred going on that the GOP Base actually wants and that none of the establishment candidates dare actually talk about.
Plus he’s the king of the put-down, basically Don Rickles with his own jet.
Thanks Jeb! for pointing out how much MORE of a pandering phony Trump is than the rest of the GOP field.
Love that insider ball from those two. Well more like “cup the balls, work the shaft” lol
Now, if Trump were to stay true to what he’d said in the past–and if, after due diligence on my part, I trusted him–I’d truly consider supporting the man. Jeb did a great job here at exposing the Tea Party militants for the fools they are for not so much as checking out the man and his past. Kudos to Jeb but big-time kudos to Trump for playing the GOP faithful for the hate-filled fools they are.
