Jeb Bush: Donald Trump wanted casino gambling in Florida, got told ‘no’

Was Donald Trump thwarted in his plans to bring casino gambling in Florida? That’s what former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush claimed as he went head-to-head against Trump during Wednesday night’s GOP presidential debate.

The heated portion of the debate started when Bush said his record proves he doesn’t bow to special interests. As proof, the presidential hopeful said Trump tried to sway him in the past in favor of easing restrictions on casino gambling in Florida.

“You wanted it, and you didn’t get it, because I was opposed to casino gambling before, during and after. I’m not going to be bought by anybody,” Bush said, according to CBS News.

Trump shot back, “I promise, if I wanted it, I would have gotten it.”
