Jeb!'s complete disconnect is the very definition of unhinged.

Trump really is an expert at trolling.
On the other hand, every time I see the “he kept us safe” argument, I want to put an asterisk at the end of it:
*Except for the 2,977 people he didn’t keep safe.

Once in a while Trump says something that almost makes up for all his boneheaded nonsense.

According to journalist and author Ron Suskind, just after a CIA briefer presents President Bush with the later infamous PDB (Presidential Daily Briefing) item entitled “Bin Laden Determined to Strike in US” (see August 6, 2001), Bush tells the briefer, “You’ve covered your ass, now.” This account is from Suskind’s 2006 book The One Percent Doctrine, which is based largely on anonymous accounts from political insiders. In the book, after describing the presentation of the PDB, Suskind will write: “And, at an eyeball-to-eyeball intelligence briefing during this urgent summer, George W. Bush seems to have made the wrong choice. He looked hard at the panicked CIA briefer. ‘All right,’ he said. ‘You’ve covered your ass, now.’” [SUSKIND, 2006, PP. 2; WASHINGTON POST, 6/20/2006]

“How pathetic for @realdonaldtrump to criticize the president for 9/11. We were attacked & my brother kept us safe.”
Uh, no he did not “keep us safe.”

A lot of Tea Party folks are pulling out their calendars to check this, they are sure it was either Obama or Clinton who was President during that.

Hey Jeb,
If Hillary is responsible for Bengazi, that makes your brother responsible for 9/11. Only 500 times worse.

“You remember the rubble?” Bush said, invoking the ruins of the World Trade Center.
You remember W’s stunned expression when he was reading “My Pet Goat?” You remember W flying around the country and not going back to DC because the Secret Service said NO! even though he really really wanted to because to look Presidential?"

The World Trade Center came down during his reign.
Half of Trump’s supporters think Trump is lying about this – but they don’t care.

P.S. I’m giving up commenting for a while. I have had issues with my neck for years and have already had 2 c-spine surgeries in the past ten years. Looks like I’m going to have another in a month. Sitting and typing at a laptop or desk top exacerbates the pain and neck-muscle spasms. So I’m throwing in the towel for now. I’ll check in once in a while, but basically, I’m out until the New Year. Everyone do your best to stay truly skeptical.

9/11, anthrax attacks, 2 wars, 1 failed hurricane response and 13 “Bengahzi’s” on W’s watch = “kept us safe” in delusional GOP world.
I will regret saying this, but Trump is right to call b.s. on John Ellis Bush and his vomit inducing bullshit on this point.

Remember when Bush landed a plane on an aircraft carrier and strutted around with a sock stuffed in his underpants? Mission accomplished, bitches.

Really, no war credits? No botch Katrina response? No anthrax attack perp ever found? No 13 embassy and consulate attacks on his watch (not including the onslaught of attacks on our embassy in the “green zone” in Iraq)…?

Just so it’s clear, Donald, you ignorant baboon, monarchs have reigns. Presidents have administrations.
