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."

Well I’m glad to see you agree it will take an adult to clean up the mess made by the children.
Problem is in 4 years not 8 there won’t be anything left to clean up.
Sort of like a drunk monkey with a hand grenade. The cleanup is a complete hosing down.
“I’m willing to ‘Burn Down the House’, and see what’s left standing.”
That’s the exact same idea of the 1960s left wing radicals/Weather Underground.
Trump is a Democrat so what’s the difference?
But you have no problems with Trump’s MUCH more extensive banking connections, his personal connections to unions, the Clintons, George Soros’s $160 million investment in Trump’s building in Chicago, Latin American criminals, La Cosa Nostra (Italian Organized Crime), etc.
And things like this don’t bother you in the least:
“The Atlantic City story starts with Trump’s purchase of a bar, AT TWICE ITS MARKET VALUE [emphasis added], from Salvatore Testa, a made man in the Philadelphia mafia and son of Philip “Chicken Man†Testa, who was briefly head of the Philly mob after Angelo Bruno’s 1980 killing. Harrah’s casino, half owned by Trump, would be built on that land, and Trump would quickly buy out his partner, Harrah’s Entertainment, and rename the casino Trump Plaza.” Link: http://thefederalist.com/2015/07/28/how-close-was-donald-trump-to-the-mob/
How about this?: “Take a poll in Panama about who is the sleaziest Panamanian of us all, and a top contender would be one Ricardo Martinelli Berrocal, now living in Miami as Panama’s legal system pursues several criminal investigations against him. Has Donald Trump said anything about this Latin American immigrant on the campaign trail? Not a peep. But it’s not as if Trump doesn’t know the man. Their photos together are all over the Internet.”
“Or what about New York City, where it’s hard to do construction without running into the mafia in one way or another? In Manhattan, the concrete work for the Trump Tower was done by S&A, a company controlled by the Gambino family’s Paul Castellano and the Genovese family’s Anthony “Fat Tony†Salerno.”

There are many, many more, but you’re focused on Ted Cruz’s wife’s job and the fact that he took out a loan against his own investment with Goldman Sachs...
I like both Cruz and Trump because they are fighters and we need a fighter right now. The question is who they’re willing to fight. Trump’s behavior contrasted with Cruz’s lately makes Cruz’s comments about the POTUS needing the right judgment/temperament come to mind. Who will they fight and how will they fight?
Cruz has all the right enemies; he’s the one they are afraid of, and I suspect there’s a reason for it.
I’ve not wanted to think badly of either one because I believe them to be patriots. But I think if Trump keeps up with this sh!t and shows ( by not actually filing a lawsuit)that his natural born citizenship “concern” was just a way to regain the lead in the polls, I will very sadly consider Trump a fake.
I have defended both Trump and Cruz here but right now I’m pretty much sick of the whole issue. Sick of all the supporters and their venom. Sick of the “divide and conquer” methodology of Satan. Sick of the mindlessness. Sick of political theater while Obama prepares for the biggest coup yet, dwarfing even the coup of 2008.
Obama said in July of 2008 that he would be POTUS for “the next 8-10 years”. He’s been arming, funding, training, and providing access to our enemies this whole time, and we’ve got a hole in our southern radar defense that the do-nothing Congress is leaving wide open JUST AS SURELY as Obama is deliberately leaving our southern border wide open even though we KNOW our enemies have said they will use BOTH those Achilles’ heels to hit and destroy us.
Quite frankly, we don’t have the luxury of the political distraction right now. This nation is in critical danger and nobody is defending us.BOTH these guys need to stop the crap and together DEMAND that our southern defense be fixed, NOW. Absent that, they are BOTH the same old, same old in spite of their claims to be a fighter.
Until I see either one doing what needs to be done to protect this country from its most urgent enemy - Barack Hussein Obama, who has made sure OUR enemies are armed and ready to carry out an EMP or other attack that will carry out the plan from way back in 2008, to keep Obama in office for 10 years because of a doomsday event, and who has made sure that enough terrorists to take over this place have already been welcomed in with open arms and our national defense has a gaping hole that nobody will fix - I’m gonna say that the best any of us can do is to try to preserve as much life as we can by preparing for that doomsday event. Obama isn’t worried about either Trump or Cruz, because he knows everything is ready for an attack that will make the 2016 election moot. Neither Cruz, nor Trump, nor Hillary, nor Bernie will ever live in the White House unless this existential, imminent attack is thwarted. IMHO. It’s time for action. Let’s see who truly has the heart of a Commander-in-Chief.
I don’t see the point of the retweet either. If Trump wanted to undercut Cruz via Photoshop, all he’d have to do is tweet Cruz the Tattooed, Smoking Prison-look guy, and point out that Cruz is selling it for campaign cash. Much more damaging.
Yeah, because obviously what people retweet are things they strongly disagree with. Trump wishes he would have thought of this himself. I apologize if those facts are a little confusing for you.
I congratulate you for turning it off after 24 years.
Oh, ZING.
You think that up all by yourself?
Or did your Canadian email that out to his "Cruz Walkers" in today's Talking Points?
Teddy the Chummy should rename them "Calgary Walking Points", in the interests of strict accuracy...
Maybe you should get a Tee Vee and and then you’d be better informed...!
Phony..! Donald is the phony. He, buy his own admission, is the establishment guy. It is Donald that has given tens of thousands of dollars and more to the likes of Reid, Pelosi, Clinton, and “ole” Mitch to get them elected. Its Donald that’s been buying politicians and influence in Congress.
“For me it’s Cruz or lose. I will sit out, I refuse to hold my nose this time.’
Unless Trump is a complete idiot he knew that when he started his scorched earth campaign.
Clever way to get Hillary elected by dividing the right.
It’s no different than Trump running 3rd party.
As if we all weren't for Jeb from the start.
As if Jeb would be doing well if it wasn't for Trump.
No way.
And I've studiously avoided that for some months now.
Zero self-awareness. Zero.
You know what P.T. Barnum said.
Very good post. I pray it gets the wide reading it deserves.
“I hope your kids and grandkids like living in a socialist cesspool that America will become if another Democract wins this year.”
In what sense is Donald Trump NOT a democrat? He has praised Hillary in 2008, Obama in 2009, DeBlasio in 2013...and I’m supposed to believe he is now The Great Conservative Hope?
He wanted Oprah for VP, and said his very liberal, pro-abortion sister would be a good person on the US Supreme Court...and I’m supposed to be worried about Hillary?
Trump’s record is nearly 100% Democrat, until he decided to run as a Republican. And I’m supposed to believe him, and loathe Ted Cruz?
Is Donald Trump sane? Are his followers? If Hillary is President, the GOP Congress MIGHT put up token resistance. With Donald, they can all just...DEAL!
It doesnt matter if this is a retweet. He is making himself out to be a childish as he has continued to do for the past 2 months.
Or did your Canadian email that out to his “Cruz Walkers” in today’s Talking Points?

I’m an English speaker, would you mind translating the statement above into English?
ya know funny u wrote all that. I don’t mean to change the subject but remember our sailors who were captured? We all thought no way could they both break down and drift 50 miles at the same time. I read perhaps because Iran may (mysteriously) have obtained GPS jamming equipment. If so, I wonder where that technology came from. Actually, I don’t have to wonder where it came from
Awww...you shouldn’t have left the Zombie Pride Festival to write me back. Really, next time at least give yourself time to sit down and take the paint off.
