GOP contender Jindal brands Trump a ‘madman’

BATON ROUGE, La. (AP) – Republican presidential contender Bobby Jindal threw the book of insults at Donald Trump on Thursday, even calling him a “madman.”

More specifically, he called the GOP front-runner an “egomaniacal madman who has no principles” and who risks costing the party its chance to regain the White House.

The Louisiana governor’s words in a speech to the National Press Club in Washington were unsparing, even from a candidate who’s held little back when it comes to Trump.

Jindal said: “The silly summer season is over. It’s time to get serious about saving our country. It’s time to send Donald Trump back to reality TV.”

He called him a narcissist and “carnival act,” and said other GOP candidates “kissing up” to Trump are making a mistake.
