Donald Trump is still Donald Trump.
During an interview on Bloomberg Television on Friday, Mr Trump was asked how Americans can trust him over the rest of the candidates electioneering for the White House.
“I think I have a bigger heart than all of them. I think I’m much more competent than all of them. When you talk about George Bush — I mean, say what you want, the World Trade Center came down during his time.”
Bloomberg anchor Stephanie Ruhle immediately interjects telling him: "Hold on, you can't blame George Bush for that."
However, it was too late, Mr Trump continued to air out his feelings toward the Republican establishment.
"He was president, okay? Blame him or don't blame him but he was president. The World Trade Center came down during his reign."
Jeb Bush, whose
polling fourth behind Mr Trump, Ben Carson and Marco Rubio, came to the defense of his big brother by releasing a statement on Twitter.
During the
Bloomberg interview, Mr Trump continued to criticise the government's response to other tragedy in the states.
"If you look at Sandy Hook, those people are still begging for help. It's a disaster, and it's a disaster all over the place. Government has proven to be a disaster during the Obama administration. What we need is a leader, we don't have a leader."
