Jeb Bush to Trump: My children ‘actually love me’

“I’m not going to talk about the 2016 election, I’m still in therapy,” Bush joked during the Tuesday lecture, according to the Yale Daily News.

However, the former 2016 Republican presidential candidate did not hold back criticisms about President Trump. He said, unlike Trump, he gets to go home to children “who actually love me.”

“If there was ever need for a Bill Buckley-like approach, to transforming conservatism in this country, it is right now,” Bush said of the late Yale alumnus and leading conservative thinker.

“Maybe not a 19th-century or a 20th-century version of conservatism but certainly a 21st-century version of that,” he continued. “And sadly, the fracturing of the conservative movement could not come at a worse time.”

Discussing different ways to revitalize American conservatism, Bush suggested that there needs to be less nostalgia, more innovation, and overall return to fiscal responsibility and limited government.

Eric Trump, one of the president’s sons, responded to Bush’s remarks in a tweet that said, “I actually love my father very much.”
