Trump lied ...
The issue isn't whether Trump tried to get his way by offering money to Bush's campaign. That's not what Trump denied. He denied wanting casino gambling in Florida, and that denial is a lie. He apparently learns politics, at least, very quickly.
He also tried to have it both ways on children's vaccines, saying he "favored them" but thought they ought to be given over longer periods of time in smaller dosages to "avoid the potential for autism."
He even tried to correct Doctor Ben Carson on those facts when Ben challenged his paranoia.
The guy's a doofus. You really want such a fake-haired, hair-brained fool in the White House? I mean, another one?
Trump vs. Bush on Florida casinos: Who’s telling the truth?
Donald Trump outright denied Jeb Bush's charge Wednesday night that the billionaire businessman-turned-presidential candidate gave Bush money as he sought casino gambling in Florida nearly two decades ago.
But while public financial records don't appear to show a direct contribution to Bush's campaign -- Trump's denial leaves out a lot of details that back up Bush's claim that the real estate magnate attempted to gain a foothold in the push to bring casinos to Florida.
Indeed, the real estate magnate hosted a pricey fundraiser in 1997 for then-gubernatorial candidate Bush -- and his company contributed a bundle to the state GOP -- all while Trump, according to local reports, was teaming up with the Seminole tribe to push for casino gambling in the Sunshine State.

TRUMP: "I'm in favor of vaccines, do them over a longer period of time, same amount, but just in little sections and I think you're going to see a big impact on autism."
THE FACTS: Medical researchers have debunked claims that vaccines given to children can lead to autism and developmental disorders. The Institute of Medicine, part of the National Academy of Sciences, says vaccines are not free from adverse effects, "but most are very rare or very mild." A study that drew a connection between autism and vaccines was retracted in 2010.
