Donald Trump and Jeb Bush take the stage for a debate during the Republican presidential primaries in 2015. The Yale Daily News, which reported the comment, originally said it was meant as a jab at President Trump — and by implication Trump’s children. Some news stories that circulated on social media suggested Bush was insinuating that Trump’s children didn’t love their father. The result were headlines such as The Cut’s “Jeb Bush Delivers Totally Sick Burn to Donald Trump,” and Raw Story’s “Jeb Bush rips Trump with brutal one-liner: At least I have kids ‘who actually love me’.”By Wednesday night, some of Trump’s children decided to set the record straight: They do, indeed, love their father. “Attacking a man by saying his kids don’t love him is such a cowardly and despicable move by Low Energy Jeb Bush,” one conservative account tweeted.
