Trump informs us during the primary that Senator Cruz's father may have been involved in the JFK assassination. He did no such thing. You're exaggerating.

you do know it is easy to look these thing up on the Internet?

May, 2016 Donald Trump on Tuesday alleged that Ted Cruz’s father was with John F. Kennedy’s assassin shortly before he murdered the president, parroting a National Enquirer story claiming that Rafael Cruz was pictured with Lee Harvey Oswald handing out pro-Fidel Castro pamphlets in New Orleans in 1963.

A Cruz campaign spokesperson told the Miami Herald, which pointed out numerous flaws in the Enquirer story, that it was “another garbage story in a tabloid full of garbage.”

“His father was with Lee Harvey Oswald prior to Oswald's being — you know, shot. I mean, the whole thing is ridiculous,” Trump said Tuesday during a phone interview with Fox News. “What is this, right prior to his being shot, and nobody even brings it up. They don't even talk about that. That was reported, and nobody talks about it.”

“I mean, what was he doing — what was he doing with Lee Harvey Oswald shortly before the death? Before the shooting?” Trump continued. “It’s horrible.”

Trump’s tangent followed his rebuke of Rafael Cruz using the pulpit to court evangelicals for his son.

I've examined what Trump said in that instance, and, despite the fact that you may not appreciate it, Donald Trump did not "inform us during the primary that Senator Cruz's father may have been involved in the JFK assassination".

Was is a cheap shot? Yes. Did Donald Trump make the assertion you cite above? No.

There was a picture of what appears to be him in the scene were LHO was arrested because of his “pro-Castro” actions. Of course, more thorough investigation make it almost a certainty that Oswald was used in a I Led Three Lives scenario.

The only reason that occurred was because Oswald was being groomed to be able to sneak into Cuba as a Leftist.
