An informal adviser and friend of Donald Trump reportedly quoted the billionaire real estate tycoon and presidential candidate as saying, "If I'm going down, then Bush is going down with me. He's not going to be president of the United States."

Reportedly motivated by a feud with former Florida Governor Jeb Bush over a failed business deal, sources close to real estate tycoon and 2016 Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump claim that Trump has vowed to stop Bush from ascending to the presidency.

In an article by New York Magazine's Gabriel Sherman which gives an inside look into Trump's presidential campaign, a friend and informal adviser to Donald Trump quoted the celebrity billionaire as having said, "If I'm going down, then Bush is going down with me. He's not going to be president of the United States."
