Man, Trump Jr. took out a rhetorical knife and carved up Jeb Bush for making a joke at the expense of his dad, the president.
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 https://t.co/4fcnA1AgAa

Damn, that’s cold bro.
Junior was responding to a report that Jebby had mocked Trump during a talk at Yale. What’s odd is that the Daily Caller article Junior posted didn’t add the part where Jebby basically made fun of himself too.
From the Yale Daily News:
Former Florida Governor Jeb Bush’s psychiatrist wants him to move past the 2016 presidential election.
“I’m not going to talk about the 2016 election,” Bush joked on Tuesday in a talk sponsored by the The William F. Buckley, Jr. Program at Yale. “I’m still in therapy.”
But that didn’t stop him from taking shots at President Donald Trump, his opponent in the 2016 Republican presidential primary. At one point, Bush described the current president as “Republican in basically name only.” And earlier in his speech, Bush said that after the 2016 Republican primary in South Carolina, he returned home to children who “actually love me.” His comment was met with raucous laughter from the crowd, and several audience members interviewed after the event said they interpreted Bush’s comment as a jab at Trump.
In context, it doesn’t seem quite as vicious. But you know, we push back “ten times as hard” or something now.
Eric Trump also threw a jab, but it wasn’t nearly as savage:
.@JebBush I actually love my father very much. #PleaseClap https://t.co/YZGyUAlUNi

Well, that’s just not nice.
