Among the best highlights of the GOP debate last night was this very decent attempt by Jeb Bush to out-Trump the master of Trump gotchas – the man himself!
He did this by bringing up his own past with The Donald and how he tried to get the rights to build some casinos in Florida, and even dropped millions into Jeb’s campaign coffers in an attempt to do so. Trump’s reaction was pretty hilarious and classic Trump.
Watch below:
Jeb really seemed to get the upper hand for a second, but Trump just devastated him with the jab, “more energy tonight, I like that!”
Bush actually seemed to crumble a little after that and never recovered.
Later, Politifact found that Jeb’s claim was only a slight embellishment, but gave it a mostly true rating:
News reports from the 1990s show that Trump helped finance Bush’s campaign and the state Republican Party during Bush’s 1998 bid for governor — while Trump was seeking to open casinos in Florida.
Trump held a 1997 fundraiser, which reportedly raised $500,000 for Bush when he ran for governor, according to the South Florida Sun-Sentinel. As the race continued the next year, Trump Hotels & Casino Resorts donated $50,000 to the Republican Party of Florida, when Trump was pushing the state to allow him to open casinos on Seminole tribal land. The tribe was seeking to open Vegas-style slot machines and poker in casinos, to be managed by Trump.
Trump backed a 1998 Seminole proposal to state officials to share gambling revenue with Florida. He also hosted a Seminole leader on his vacation estate that year, reported the Tampa Bay Times.
Even still, Trump’s fans have shown that they don’t really care what’s true about him as long as he keeps fighting! Jeb may have been right, but the Donald took his victory away from him with his swift, clever verbal assaults.
