Donald Trump Tweets a Picture of Jeb Bush Next to a Swastika

Donald Trump posted a tweet Tuesday featuring a Nazi swastika next to a picture of GOP rival Jeb Bush.

The outspoken candidate for the Republican presidential nomination — who recently lost his lead in the polls to Ben Carson — has come under fire for inflammatory statements about women and immigration during his campaign.

Tuesday's tweet from Trump appeared to be quoting from — or a partial retweet of — a supporter's message with a photo collage of anti-Bush imagery. In addition to the Nazi swastika, the montage featured an image of Bush in a sombrero next to a cactus.

Bush, whose wife is Mexican, has slammed Trump's statements on immigration.

In Trump's case, it's hard to tell. He can always come up with something more outrageous.
