Trump: Cruz supported Chinese currency manipulation

By Ben Schreckinger

04/15/16 09:17 PM EDT

HARTFORD, Conn. — Donald Trump charged Ted Cruz with bowing to foreign interests and supporting the Chinese government's manipulation of its currency at a rally here on Friday night

Trump lodged the accusation during remarks on the decline of Connecticut's manufacturing sector, which he blamed on the entrance of China into the World Trade Organization and the country’s devaluing of its currency. “Cruz wants it to go on because somebody probably representing interests in China says, ‘This is what we want,’” Trump said.

Trump may be referring to the Texas senator’s vote last year against an amendment to TPP fast-track legislation proposed by Ohio Republican Sen. Rob Portman and Michigan Democratic Sen. Debbie Stabenow that would have made it “a principal negotiating objective of the United States to address currency manipulation in trade agreements.”

...snip....

Representatives of the Cruz campaign also did not immediately respond to requests for comment.

So who was it that held your leash on this, Cruz? Goldman Sachs or Soros?

God bless you, Donald. Thank you for fighting to make America great again. I will fight for you because you fight for us.

And his dad was buddies with Lee Harvey Oswald! I’m surprised Trump hasn’t used that one yet.

the TPP, which Cruz endorsed, is apparently so secret that Congresscritters can’t get a security clearance to read it.

Kinda like Obamacare. Pass it to find out? except, TPP is worse, much worse.

Ooo, good one. I’ll send that right up the line.

LMAO

I know you’ll be linking this post for decades.

It has gotten rather slap-stick here watching the Cruz folks try to put a happy face on.

If you could just see the humor from our point of view, you’d be a lot happier.

Cruz fought for someone on this and it was not the American people.

This is a real issue where where a debate between Trump and Cruz would be most informative.

Not a stupid name calling cage match about trivial nonsense rigged by the moderators to boost ratings -But a real debate, or perhaps side by side town hall, about real issues and policy differences between these two.

Needs to happen.

You forgot he's (Cruz) the Zodiac Killer and did the Lufthansa heist to finance his future presidential campaign, (And he did all this by the time he was 8 years old).

Trump’s not the brightest Democrat in the race, but her handlers sure have deep pockets.

Well it’s up to Cruz to decide whether purity is an activity or only an affect.

Do you have a substantive comment that Cruz’s policies do not support currency manipulation? The deflection technique is sophomoric, and only serves to indicate that the accusation is probably true.

Do you have a problem with Trump and Cruz having a real debate? I’m not talking about the stupid “gotcha” contests the other debates were which only helped the MSM ratings but had very little substance.
