Jeb Bush gave his best advice on the art of taking the perfect selfie while on a campaign stop in West Palm Beach, Fla. on Monday.
The hopeful GOP presidential candidate even shared a clip of his advice on Facebook, joking he gave a “master class” on selfie taking.
I give a master class on selfies in the latest #JebNoFilter:

"It’s cooler to do it diagonally rather than straight up, remember that, and it’s better to do it higher than lower, because you look skinnier," he said.
He laughed at the fact that supporters used to ask for autographs, but they’re now fixated on getting a selfie with him.
“It is a requirement that you take one, and I do it with great joy in my heart,” he said. “I don’t know, look, it wasn’t that long ago that people wanted signatures on things, and now, forget that. ‘I want my damn Selfie. I’m not leaving until I get it.’”
The New York Times points out Bush has been trying to overcome Donald Trump’s criticism that he’s “low energy” as a candidate, so this might be a strategy to shake that label.
Bush also joked of selfies, "Just for the record, young people do it better than older people.”
