The first satirical website I found was on The New Yorker “Jeb Bush Declares War on Stuff” and basically talks about how Jeb can answer questions in a non-caring or non-intellectual way. A couple of examples from the article is on the issue in Russia where Jeb states “If is see junk happening that will harm the American people, I will not put up with that junk” he said, adding for emphasis, “or stuff.” The next example is more general where Jeb says “Make no mistake: I will not sit idly when stuff happens if there’s stuff we can do about that stuff,” Bush told reporters in Iowa. I found these responses to not be very shocking in that Jeb comes off as passive and not as intelligent as the other candidates especially on certain issues. This may just be his image in that he is more of a thinker than anything. However, this is the problem with Jeb and the voters in that they have been waiting to see the aggressive side and one that can really stand out being a leader of this country. This article effectively shapes his image and how he is portrayed through news, pictures, social media outlets, and how is vocabulary can use some work.


The next satirical image I found was of this below with Jeb hugging his brother George. This picture is showing that Jeb is just too much of a nice guy. He really doesn’t have that meanness or aggressive bone in his body needed for what it takes to president of the United States. When Trump would belittle him or debate against him he always would be passive and would never really fight back. Jeb is close to being done with his campaign and I think that is because being a leader really isn’t for him. From what I’ve learned from Jeb is that passiveness will always lose in running for President.
