Donald Trump: Ted Cruz ‘Bought the Rights’ to Melania’s GQ Photo

Trump charged about Cruz:

He’s the one that started it. From what I hear, he and his campaign went out and bought the cover shoot. Melania did a cover shoot for GQ, a very strong modeling picture. No big deal. But it was a cover shoot for GQ, a big magazine. And it was, you know, fine and, if from what I hear, he was the one, or his campaign bought the rights and give it to the super PAC. That super PAC is friendly to Ted Cruz. He started it. I didn’t.

Trump was also questioned about a retweet of an unflattering picture of Heidi Cruz next to Melania, which Trump posted after blasting Cruz for the ad against Melania.

Well, it was a retweet somebody sent to me. It was a retweet. Look, what he did was far worse. He takes out a thing and sends it to Utah, the voters of Utah. It was a cover shoot. It was, by a big magazine. She was a very, very successful model. Big model. Did lots of shoots, cover shoots. To send it like it was a bad picture was disgusting to me. They make me like the bad guy here. I’m just responding to what he does. I respond. I counter punch. I’m responding to what he does. The press likes to make me the bad guy.

Trump then repeated the allegation that Cruz bought the rights to the G.Q. photo, saying, “He’s the one that started it. He knew about the picture. He may have even bought the rights to the picture, meaning his campaign. The super PAC had it. He’s close to the super PAC. I didn’t start this. He did.”

Evidence?

"From what I hear"

"And it was, you know, fine and, if from what I hear, he was the one, or his campaign bought the rights and give it to the super PAC. That super PAC is friendly to Ted Cruz. (Actually it was anti-Trump) He started it. I didn’t."

This gets me to thinking - is this how he is going to treat fellow Republicans as president?

Haven't we had enough revengefulness from the White House?

That’s the pic DJT should have tweeted back to Cruz in the aftermath.

Actually GQ confirmed (and by the way it was GQ out of the UK who did the photo shoot) that Donald Trump INCORRECTLY blamed Ted Cruz as being the source of the attack. They did not comment on how the picture was obtained, however, given the amount of such photos on the web my guess is it has lost its copyright protection.

I believe the GQ spread was shot BEFORE Trump married her.

Not that that matters to the drive by media.

It’s a half-vast right-wing conspiracy

There is nothing at the link relating to WHO BOUGHT THE RIGHTS to the photo in question.

I doubt anyone did. I imagine that the photo was simply appropriated 1AM blogger-style. Then in similar 1AM blogger fashion a 15 minute photoshop job was done on it adding a couple lines of text and it was posted on Facebook. This is pretty minimalist stuff.

I don’t see anything here that rises above the level of everyday amateur pranking.

You don’t elect her sleazy,duplicitous husband, he’s every bit as much a NWO/Trojan Horse as Obama was. Different rhetoric, though.

But, but he's such a great Christian. Does anyone out there remember Jimmy Carter? Many Republicans voted for him because he was suppose to be a staunch Baptist. He didn't even drink wine and taught Sunday school. I was a young Conservative Republican voter. I fell for him. I have never regretted a vote as much as that one.

Cruz doesn't sit well with me and there is way too much about him and his wife that is very bad such as who she has worked for and what she has headed and his votes on TPP and TPA. No matter what Conservative thing he did in Congress nothing can make up for his votes on TPP and TPA, no matter how he tries to explain them.

Yes, I too get the distinct feeling that he may well be a Trojan horse. I learned from my Carter vote to be very careful of voting for someone because they call their self a strong Christian because I just might be being terribly fooled.
