Property magnate Donald Trump shared a strange Twitter image on Thursday in order to mock his top primary rival, Sen. Ted Cruz....
Trump, the Republican presidential front-runner, retweeted someone who had altered the cover of Cruz's book, "A Time for Truth," so that the Texas senator looked as if he were balding.
The altered book's title: "A Time To Lie."
Text beneath the title echoed a number of Trump's recent campaign-trail attacks against Cruz: "I am an untrustworthy person, I took loans from Wall Street and lied about it. I was in cahoots with Wall Street, also Trump was also right I am a Canadian Citizen and banker!"
Trump has previously shared bizarre tweets going after two other Republican candidates: former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush (R) and retired neurosurgeon Ben Carson. The Carson post was blamed on a "young intern."

I never understood the appeal of that photo.
Nonetheless, the original poster of this thread claims it’s Trump’s tweet, which of course it’s a ‘re-tweet’. It’s just corny and adds nothing to the seriousness of which we face.
If we keep going down this path we won’t have an election in 8 years.
Because Trump doesn't want to pay this month's rent on your head, ManHunter. :)
Look how many Cruzers on this thread gave Trump January gratis...
I want someone that kicks a**, that takes no prisoners. For fifty years we’ve been PC cowards and leftist have won. So Cruz is upset about a photoshop, deal with it teddy, I’m upset about your banking connections, and your North American Union wife.

But someone who glibly and without shame talks about buying access to politicians in order that he can increase his personal wealth is just peachy, eh?
[Donald is living proof: you can’t buy class at any price.]
You clearly don’t understand the concept of “F-— you” money...
OMG ROFL ROFL This pic hits it right out of the ballpark
Sounds like he’s afraid of genuine competition. Remember he keeps telling us he hates losing. Tearing down your opponent to make yourself look better, makes you look worse!
That speaks more ill about the politicians being bought than it does the buyer.

I haven’t had TeeVee for 9 years.
<><><
That means you had tv for 24 years of Oprah’s show.
I congratulate you for turning it off after 24 years.
[Tearing down your opponent to make yourself look better, makes you look worse!]
Ask Jeb Bush how well that worked out, and how his polling numbers compare to Trump’s now....
For me it’s Cruz or lose. I will sit out, I refuse to hold my nose this time.
I listened to Trump on Fox yesterday and he was down right scary.
Trump said of one candidate he liked him until the other candidate said something bad about him then he didn’t like the other candidate any more and then the other candidate stopped saying bad things about him so he liked the other candidate again.
That is the mind of a child.
Neither have I watched a full show. Nowadays, you don’t really have to. If somebody says something newsworthy that ‘goes viral’ other outlets (Drudge, Hot Air, Fox News) will link to that specific show.
You know, if you checked my posting history, you'd see that I've always said I liked Cruz, and would vote for him, after Trump.
I never used the term "Cruzer" till today, on this thread.
I've just been posting about people who have obvious Trump Derangement Syndrome (The Tee Dee Ess). It's all in your posting histories, so it's out there for everyone to see.
I've carefully avoided saying anything bad about Ted Cruz at the same time.
Jim Robinson made a personal plea to you guys, and you just flipped him off.
So be it. You're selling all us Trump people on the notion of flipping your candidate off.
Happy?

I don’t disagree at all, but that’s a far cry from suggesting that Trump’s behavior vis a vis buying politicians is the kind of behavior we want living in the White House.
The ‘my guy is bad but your guy is worse’ argument has a lot to do with why we are where we are. Trump will perpetuate the corruption of politicians because IT GETS THE DEAL DONE!!
I guess my comment got “in your head” — free, gratis, for January.
So it *bothers* you to be compared to Trump? You’re *insulted* that I think he’s the right candidate for you?
Very interesting!
True. But it's also the mind of most of our world anymore.
[For me it’s Cruz or lose. I will sit out, I refuse to hold my nose this time]
I hope your kids and grandkids like living in a socialist cesspool that America will become if another Democract wins this year.
Because that is what is at stake for this election.
And if you think there will be another (fair) one after this one, you are stupid!
