As Donald Trump reminded the world Tuesday morning, the Republican Party is on the verge of nominating a conspiracy theorist who regularly uses debunked Internet and tabloid rumors to smear his enemies.
In the latest case, Trump seized on a ludicrously thin-sourced National Enquirer story to insinuate Sen. Ted Cruz’s father, Rafael Cruz, was involved in the 1963 assassination of President John F. Kennedy.
“His father was with Lee Harvey Oswald prior to Oswald’s being, you know, shot,” Trump told Fox News over the phone. “I mean, the whole thing is ridiculous. 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.”

Like the way the Communists use the blacks to agitate and cause disruption to the American way of life.
It’s worth reading the whole “article”. Boy does this guy have a bad case of Trump Derangement Syndrome.

This is great. Trump leaves no stone unturned. Look out Hillary!
Well Ted Cruz is the Zodiac killer, so it MUST run in the Family...
Obviously!
I mean it is in the National Enquirer and would Mr. Pecker lead us astray?
Seems to me that Trump was raising questions about Cruz’ connection to Oswald’s assassination, not JFK’s
Still it was a blunder by Trump. I don’t see how those comments help him in any way.
I am a loyal Trump supporter. But, that was really stupid and uncessary for Trump to say. Why?? Big mistake. There are still undecided voters out there. I believe Trump will win. It will be closer than we all think. Hope I am wrong.
What is MSDNC obsessed with?
This primary has jumped the shark.
Talking Points Memo-—SOROS
The Daily Beast-—SOROS
Totally keeping the narrative choice firmly away from Cruz. Thanks to Rush and others it worked. I assume Ted's anger today was more fueled by losing another duel than Trump attacking his Father.
Tomorrow no one will remember this resurrection of Lee H. Oswald.
Lenin observed that the Blacks in America were the most violent, the most dis-satisfied, and arguably the most oppressed at that time. He said that they would be the vanguard of the revolution, a comment duly noted by professional agitator and conman Van Jones.
Hardly, it was brilliant.
...... Although .... If he does become President .... Perhaps The National Enquirer could very well become the new Fox News or be the core of a new American Intelligence Gathering Agency LOL.
Trump is playing them like fiddles and making their heads explode! All his friends say he has a great sense of humor:-)
Well Trump does latch on to some pretty idiotic stuff. Don’t think the Democrats aren’t going to use it against him in the fall.
excellent graphic
Trump was specifically asked about the picture by the Fox and Friends hosts. What do you think about that mr trump
All trump said was its interesting
