Former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush on Wednesday mocked Donald Trump for backing out of Thursday's GOP presidential debate in Iowa,
The Washington Post reports.
"He thinks he’s not being treated fairly. Really? Donald Trump’s not being treated fairly by the press? He consumes all the press! He’s a Stradivarius violinist from the Vienna Symphony" playing the press, Bush told a group of employees of Nationwide Insurance in Des Moines.
"Poor little Donald, being mistreated," he added. "If you think he’s going to be mistreated now? ... How do you think the general election’s going to work out? Or dealing with [Russian President Vladimir] Putin? Or dealing with the challenges of being president? That notion just doesn’t pass muster."
