Donald Trump on Friday chided former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush for his campaign’s new ad featuring his mother, former First Lady Barbara Bush.

The Bush campaign on Friday released an online video ad, in which Barbara Bush describes Jeb Bush as a “hard worker” with a big heart.

“Of all the people running, he seems to be the one who could solve the problems. I think he’ll be a great president,” she says in the ad.

The campaign also released a hand-written letter from Barbara Bush, according to the Washington Post. In the letter she says that even though she originally didn’t want Jeb Bush to run for president, she changed her mind because “it became clear that he is needed.”

    Got to hand it to the Donald - that is some top tier trolling. Actually feeling bad for Bush, even though another Bush family candidacy would be really bad for long-term health of our democracy.

    Trump pinned Jeb to the mat with the low energy remark, then again when he criticized Jeb’s wife during one of the debates. So to combat his emasculation, Jeb comes out with his mommy’s endorsement? I mean, really??
