Donald Trump must be feeling the heat of Ted Cruz on his neck because he unleashed a veritable tirade against the Texas senator on Twitter Saturday.
He started just before 8 a.m EST flat-out calling Cruz a Canadian citizen.
|
Ted Cruz was born in Canada and was a Canadian citizen until 15 months ago. Lawsuits have just been filed with more to follow. I told you so - Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) January 16, 2016 |
For the next several hours the Republican presidential front-runner just unloaded with tweet after tweet, most of them coming within minutes of each other.

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 - Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) January 16, 2016 |
|
Was there another loan that Ted Cruz FORGOT to file. Goldman Sachs owns him, he will do anything they demand. Not much of a reformer! - Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) January 16, 2016 |
|
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! - Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) January 16, 2016 |
|
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. - Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) January 16, 2016 |

Based on the fact that Ted Cruz was born in Canada and is therefore a “natural-born Canadian,” did he borrow unreported loans from C banks? - Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) January 16, 2016 |
|
Ted Cruz purposely, and illegally, did not list on his personal disclosure form personally guaranteed loans from banks. They own him! - Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) January 16, 2016 |
Syndicated columnist Phil Kerpen corrected him but that wasn’t going to stop Trump.
|
Might want to actually look at that personal disclosure form. All the loans are there. @realDonaldTrump https://t.co/ptudBHg7ix - Phil Kerpen (@kerpen) January 16, 2016 |

Ted is the ultimate hypocrite. Says one thing for money, does another for votes. https://t.co/hxdfy0mjVw - Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) January 16, 2016 |
Cruz responded to Trump’s rant on Saturday at a church outside of Charlotte where he was making an appearance.
"I would note that Donald's record does not match what he says as a candidate," he told reporters according to CNN.
"I imagine it pulled him out of bed this morning and send him tweeting and tweeting and tweeting," he said. "I think in terms of a commander-in-chief, we ought to have someone who isn't springing out of bed to tweet in a frantic response to the latest poll.”
Trump, however continued his Twitter attacks.

If Ted Cruz is so opposed to gay marriage, why did he accept money from people who espouse gay marriage? - Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) January 16, 2016 |
Including, what might have been his most absurd comment, suggesting that Cruz should be “kicked out of politics.”
|
Everybody that loves the people of New York, and all they have been thru, should get hypocrites like Ted Cruz out of politics! - Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) January 16, 2016 |
But wait there’s more.
|
When will @TedCruz give all the New York based campaign contributions back to the special interests that control him. - Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) January 16, 2016 |
|
Greatly dishonest of @TedCruz to file a financial disclosure form & not list his lending banks- then pretend he is going to clean up Wall St - Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) January 16, 2016 |
|
Wow! Ted Cruz received $487K in campaign contributions, $11M from a NY hedge fund mogul, & $1M low int. loan from Goldman Sachs. Hypocrite - Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) January 16, 2016 |
|
Is this the New York that Ted Cruz is talking about & demeaning? pic.twitter.com/rYGX9vazku - Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) January 16, 2016 |
Which candidate doesn’t tweet?
if you don’t tweet or read tweets like I don’t why would you care?.. you make no sense
You have No idea what Trump has done. What did teddy do?
And teddy’s charity was handing candy and soccer balls to illegal 14 year olds.
Trump got 10,000s retweets. Search for Ted Cruz now on Twitter and what pops up? Donald Trump. Cruz’s NewYorkValues hashtag campaign failed miserable and The Donald is totally owning him after his childish NY Liberal taunt.
Go Trump.
I think The Donald needs to join the Free Republic. He would make a great contribution. These tweeters only give half the story. He could have a real forum here with some of his well though out comments without the abbreviations and hard to decipher shorthand methods of writing.
Trump's narcissistic personality disorder has never adjusted to people who do not worship the ground he walks on. Trump is accustomed to bullying the weak and getting praise from the sycophants with which he surrounds himself. Cruz has highlighted that Donald's values are not the media image that Trump has crafted and not consistent with the conservative base. Trump feels insecure and exposed so he is going on a twitter tirade. He knows on substance he is not the superior candidate so he has adopted Alinski tactics and personal attacks. It is unfortunate that his personal attacks are indicative of the values dissonance, Cruz spotlighted.
Trump’s Howard Dean’s moment?
**************************************************
After exposure, Trump had come down with a bad case of CRUZ DERANGEMENT SYNDROME.
S T R A T E G I C.
Everyone needs to get out to their caucus sites on February 1, 2016 & VOTE TRUMP! Never been before? Have questions?...Posted by Donald J. Trump on Saturday, January 16, 2016
evidently Trump is getting polling advice that this is hurting Alberta Cruz just like Cruz was doing with the NY values push polling he used to attack Trump with.. When you hit Trump you are going to get it back in spades,,, Man up Cruzbots you sound like crying babies over this.. just wait until Hillary and the media swarms you if Cruz gets the nomination
All valid important points. Go Trump!
Ted is winning. DT is unhinged, almost unhinged as the trumpees. Can’t wait for the ads to start. DT has had many memorable moments in the last six months.
Poor Ted. More people saw Trump’s tweets than heard Ted’s response in the news. Ted just doesn’t draw.
When you hit Trump you are going to get it back in spades,,, Man up Cruzbots you sound like crying babies over this.. just wait until Hillary and the media swarms you if Cruz gets the nomination
