Rarely gun-shy, Donald Trump took to Twitter this morning to chide Marco Rubio, who is seen as ascendant following this week’s debate, and Jeb Bush’s poor performance and low speaking time.
Trump attacked Rubio for being “disloyal” and “ambitious” by challenging his former mentor Jeb Bush in this race.

I told you in speeches months ago that Jeb and Marco do not like each other. Marco is too ambitious and very disloyal to Jeb as his mentor!

Bush was Florida governor when Rubio was Florida House speaker, and is seen as having helped to nurture and promote Rubio’s early political rise.
