Two of President Trump’s sons fired back at former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush late Wednesday after Trump’s former rival suggested the president’s children do not love him.
Bush made the remarks at Yale University on Tuesday, saying he “went home to my children that actually love me” after losing the South Carolina Republican primary to Trump.
The Yale Daily News reported that Bush’s remark was interpreted by the audience as a jab at Trump, despite Bush not directly referring to the president.
Eric Trump and Donald Trump Jr. took to Twitter to voice their disapproval on Bush’s comments.
“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),” Trump Jr. wrote.
“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,” the tweet continued.
