After they reportedly leaked his information to the Internet, Eric Trump, 32, received a mysterious envelope full of a powdery substance in the mail. The hacktivist group declared total war on Trump. You would think that Donald wouldn’t be picking fights with Ted’s wife considering he has to deal with Anonymous. Your wife is lovely, and Heidi is the love of my life. Even though the Cruz campaign had nothing to do with the ill-advised meme, Trump called Cruz out on Twitter, warning, Be careful, Lyin’ Ted, or I will spill the beans on your wife. It’s almost word for word! Ted was even tougher on Trump on March 24, as he called Donald a “sniveling coward” that was “intimidated by strong women!” Right on, Ted!ĭonald, real men don't attack women. That line might seem familiar because it comes directly from Michael Douglas’s character in The American President. “If Donald wants to get in a character fight, he’s better off sticking with me because Heidi is way out of his league” Ted said during a March 23 appearance on CNN, per PEOPLE. Ted even used his Netflix account to help send a warning. Your wife is lovely and Heidi is the love of my life,” he tweeted. Ted didn’t take Donald’s attacks lying down. Trump threatened to “spill the beans” on Heidi if Ted didn’t back off. Ted had nothing to do with it in the first place, but Donald didn’t need all the details before attacking. political history where a presidential candidate has lobbed personal attacks against a rival’s wife? Donald started his misguided war on Heidi after an anti-Trump Super Pac ran Facebook ads trashing Melania’s GQ spread. Megyn slammed Donald’s tweet, asking him “Seriously?” After all, he has a history of gross and misogynistic insults towards women.
It just comes off as a very cruel insult - which is good enough for Donald. “No need to ‘spill the beans.’ The images are worth a thousand words.” It seems Donald’s supporters are as crass and crude as he is. The image, created by an avid Trump supporter, compared an unflattering picture of Heidi to a shot taken from Melania’s 2000 British GQ magazine spread. The senator’s wife, Heidi Cruz, was escorted out of the arena, out of concern for her safety.Donald retweeted an absolutely insulting meme of Heidi and his own wife, Melania Trump, 45, on March 23. In his speech at the convention, Cruz did not endorse Trump and was booed by the crowd. Trump nonetheless apologised, Manafort writes, then “told Cruz he considered him an ally, not an enemy, and that he believed they could work together when Trump was president.”Īt least initially, Trump’s effort was in vain. Manafort writes: “It was a forced justification for someone who is normally very logical. Now Manafort says Trump did apologise – and to Cruz’s face at that.ĭescribing a meeting meant to get Cruz’s support before the convention in Cleveland in July, Manafort writes that the senator said he would work with the man who beat him into second in the primary but would not formally endorse him, “because his supporters didn’t want him to”. Trump is famous for never apologising, whether in his business career or in his seven-year careen across the US political scene.Īnd when Cruz eventually came onside with Trump, in September 2016, he said: “Neither he nor his campaign has ever taken back a word they said about my wife and my family.” Manafort’s description of a Trump apology for such slurs may come as a surprise to both men. He also questioned whether Cruz, born in Canada, was qualified to be US president and coined a lasting nickname, Lyin’ Ted. In 2016, in a brutal primary, Trump insinuated Cruz’s wife was ugly and linked his father to the assassination of John F Kennedy.
In his memoir, he denies collusion with Russia, bemoans his experiences at the hands of the US justice system, admits indirectly advising Trump in 2020 while in home confinement, and expresses strong support for another Trump campaign in 2024. Imprisoned on tax charges in a case arising from the investigation of Russian election interference and links between Trump and Moscow, Manafort did not turn on Trump and received a pardon just before the end of Trump’s time in power. The former rivals for the 2016 Republican. Manafort was Trump’s campaign manager between May and August 2016. Texas senator and noted revisionist historian Ted Cruz has enjoyed what could perhaps charitably called a rocky relationship with Donald Trump. The telling vignette – possibly an embarrassing one for two powerful Republicans who have since formed an alliance of convenience – is contained in Political Prisoner: Persecuted, Prosecuted, but Not Silenced, which will be published in the US next month. In a new memoir, Trump’s then campaign manager, Paul Manafort, writes: “On his own initiative, Trump did apologise for saying some of the things he said about Cruz, which was unusual for Trump.”
