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 |
Trump’s tweets are very controlled and deliberate. To provoke a reaction from media and people too emotionally invested in Cruz, like Levin.
_________________________
Levin is an ignorant blowhard.
This won’t hurt Cruz at all.
In fact it will increase his recognition and people will be more curious about who this guy is who has unhinged the Trumpster.
It’s all good.
No, I hope for the country’s sake, for your sake and, yes, for my sake that Cruz wins.
So you truly believe that Cruz can throw a negative attack out there against millions of people he is running to represent, but Trump is not allowed to try to defend these same people by bringing up something very positive about them? At least you aren’t pretending to be even vaguely fair.
I remember those
Tweeting’s been around for a while. I don’t tweet.
Computers have been around for a while and I do use one.
Try to make sense.
Well, I hope they discuss this bunch of tweets ‘cause Trump sounds like a petulant kid.
As a voter, he’s had a great many Howard Dean moments.. Enough for me to not consider him a candidate I would vote for.
Trump isn’t used to losing. This is new to him.
Trump is having a twitter meltdown. Trumpettes are going coockoo! It is a sight to behold.
It is kinda fun.
Cheated? What grade are you in?
I just re-read the tweets: Canada, Canadian banks, loans, unreported loans, Canada, 9-11,
When can we expect Trump to start singing, OH, Canada?
What a senseless tweet harangue.
Don’t you know? Trump is already on FR. He has thousands of trolls in a room, constantly eating up FR bandwidth now.
Sounds like Obama. Trump and Obama both can’t imagine not being the focus of every person’s thoughts.
Its what dems do. Remember that funeral a few years back?
