Jeb Bush on Tuesday voiced what many other Americans are likely thinking these days—that Melania Trump should take the president-elect’s cellphone away from him.

A former GOP rival to Trump, Bush also said he hopes the president-elect will be successful in his term. Multiple lawmakers have echoed Bush’s concerns over Trump’s Twitter rampages, and Melania said in an April interview that she wished her husband would tweet less.
