I didn\u2019t really think of it as a lie<\/em> when Donald Trump said it. I merely thought of it as, hmm, a serious misrepresentation of reality.<\/p>\n

The president came to Texas this week to raise money for his re-election campaign and to stump for himself at a campaign rally. He signed a couple of executive orders.<\/p>\n

But at one of his rallies, he called on Texas Land Commissioner George P. Bush, to join him on the podium. \u201cThis is the only Bush who likes me!\u201d Trump bellowed while summoning \u201cGeorge!\u201d<\/p>\n

The misstatement? Oh, well, it happens that George P. Bush is the son of former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush, the same Jeb Bush who campaigned for president against Donald Trump in 2016.<\/p>\n

This also is the same Jeb Bush who Trump labeled as \u201cLow Energy Jeb,\u201d one of the many insults he tossed at Republican primary opponents, not to mention what he hurled at the Democratic nominee, Hillary Rodham Clinton<\/p>\n

It well might be that George P. Bush has smiled publicly in Donald Trump\u2019s presence. I have difficulty believing that that the younger Bush has those same feelings privately.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe only Bush who likes\u201d Donald Trump quite possibly doesn\u2019t \u201clike\u201d the president.<\/p>\n

Not one bit.<\/p>\n

Who in the world would blame him for harboring the same hard feelings his beloved “Gampy” and “Gammy” — the late 41st president and the late beloved first lady — felt, not to mention how his own parents are feeling to this very day?<\/p>\n\n
