Even as GOP presidential contender Ted Cruz faces scrutiny over failing to disclose certain loans used in a previous Senate race, Donald Trump did not miss an opportunity to bring the Texas senator's Canadian birth into the mix.
As the New York Times reported, not only did Cruz fail to disclose a Goldman Sachs loan used for his 2012 Senate campaign, he also apparently failed to disclose a loan from Citibank for the same race. In a series of tweets Saturday morning, Trump, the Republican presidential frontrunner, eviscerated his fellow candidate and raised more questions regarding his citizenship.
"Based on the fact that Ted Cruz was born in Canada and is therefore a 'natural born Canadian,' did he borrow unreported loans from [Canadian] banks," Trump tweeted.
Since Cruz has crept closer to Trump in polls, the business mogul has repeatedly raised questions over Cruz's eligibility to hold the office of president as he was born in Canada to an American mother and a Cuban father.
"Ted Cruz said he 'didn't know' that he was a Canadian Citizen. He also FORGOT to file his Goldman Sachs Million $ loan papers. Not believable," Trump said in another tweet Saturday morning.
"Oh no, just reported that Ted Cruz didn't report another loan, this one from Citi. Wow, no wonder banks do so well in the U.S. Senate," Trump continued.
Trump also continued to criticized Cruz for comments he's made about "New York values" on the campaign trail and during Fox Business' Republican presidential debate Thursday.
"The Ted Cruz wiseguy apology to the people of New York is a disgrace. Remember, his wife's employer, and his lender, is located there!" Trump tweeted Saturday.
Cruz's wife, Heidi, announced last year that she was taking an unpaid leave of absence from Goldman Sachs...

Even 4 years of Trump could way too many.
This is why I can no longer support Trump.
man he has totally lost it.
His 7 months of campaigning too much for me.
>> Trump, the Republican presidential frontrunner, eviscerated his fellow candidate
Funny — Ted Cruz didn’t look or act eviscerated afterwards.
Maybe it was a case of “attempted evisceration with a dull weapon”.
Seems to me Trump is carrying water for the democrats.
Guy has to be reading here. LOL
Get your family a domestically trained Crewznadian today.
Seriously? You “can no longer” support Trump because he asks about other loans Cruz could have had out? Cruz needs to put on his tightie whities and grow up. He has two unreported loans from financial (wall street) institutions. That makes questioning his loans fair game.
Have you no sense of decency, sir? At long last, have you left no sense of decency?
Donald Trump has never denied being a serial killer.
GO TRUMP!!! Awesome. Cruz is a liar to the FEC and used trumps MOTHER in a debate. Cruz in ineligible!! Foreign born— we won’t have it!!
I can see why Democrats and Washington Republicans fear Cruz so much. Why does Trump?
As time goes by, The Donald needs to become more based in reality. Hard to say exactly when these transitions need to be made. Iowa and NH will tell.
The effort now is to so anger the supporters of either trump or Cruz that they will not go to the other guy if their candidate falters. I will support either. Period. No establishment operations will peel me off to Rubio or bush or to sitting on the sidelines. The loudest voices calling on you to hate trump or Cruz are doing the establishment’s work. Don’t doubt it.
Trump has gone completely off the deep end. The meltdown is on full display. He is whining and protesting and throwing a tantrum as expected.
Oh PUHLEEZE!
