Jeb Bush came to the defense of his late father, George H.W. Bush, after Donald Trump began making calls for investigations with the forty-first president.

At a crowded rally in Arizona on Sunday, Trump attacked several former presidents for committing the same act that earned him a visit from federal agents last summer at his Mar-a-Lago resort: storing classified documents after their time in office.

Initially, he accused President Barack Obama of moving more than 30 million pages of documents to a former furniture store in Chicago, a claim regularly refuted by the National Archives, which pointed out that the federal agency was responsible for transferring unclassified documents to a secure federal facility in Chicago. He then continued to accuse former President Bush, who died in 2018, of storing millions of documents inside a bowling alley combined with a Chinese restaurant.

The former president said about his predecessor during a crowded rally held in Mesa, Arizona: "[He] took millions and millions of documents to a former bowling alley that was combined with what was then an old, broken Chinese restaurant." "They put them together. And its front door was broken and its windows were broken. Otherwise, it was completely secure."

When giving these examples of the former commander-in-chief being "guilty" of the same acts he is alleged to be involved in, he pressed on why they have not been investigated as well. These statements, although unproven by the one-term president, were inflammatory enough to prompt the forty-first president's son to respond online. "I am very confused. My father enjoyed a good Chinese meal and enjoyed the 7-10 split challenge. What the hell is wrong with you?" Jeb Bush tweeted on Sunday, while resharing a clip of Trump making the accusatory statements about his late father.

(The 7-10 split is a bowling term describing when the player knocks down all the pins except the last pins in the formation). This is not the first time the two Republicans face public strikes, as happened before the 2016 Republican presidential primaries — a race both men threw their names into — Mr. Trump frequently attacked the former Florida governor.

Among the various insults the former president directed at Jeb over the years, he sometimes described him as "an embarrassment to his family," accused him of being "weak" in face, and linked his reputation to that of his brother George W. Bush, and pointed out that he bears responsibility for the Iraq War, describing it as "a huge and egregious mistake."
