Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump said Wednesday that “of course” he doesn’t believe the conspiracy theory that the father of his former opponent, Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX), was connected to Lee Harvey Oswald, the man who assassinated President John F. Kennedy.
Trump turned a conversation on “Fox & Friends” to mentioning a rumor reported in a story that appeared in the supermarket tabloid, The National Enquirer, that Cruz’s father was connected to the assassin.
CNN host Wolf Blitzer said to Trump on Wednesday that he wanted him to clarify his previous claim.
“You don’t really believe that Ted Cruz’s father had anything to do with the assassination of President Kennedy,” Blitzer said to Trump.
“No I don’t,” Trump replied. “Of course I don’t think that.”
Cruz dropped out of the race after Trump won in the Indiana primary on Tuesday. Blitzer told Trump that he is now the presumptive GOP nominee and Trump argued back that he wasn’t when he circulated the Enquirer’s story.
Trump said that Cruz’s father said “horrible” things about him and that it’s not a “one-way street” when he does something.
“So I was not a presumptive winner at that time. I was going against them, they were going against me,” Trump said.
“But — bottom line you don’t believe in that conspiracy,” Blitzer countered.
“Of course I don’t believe that. I wouldn’t believe it, but I did say ‘let people read it,'” Trump replied.
Trump is a lying pig.
Meaning, I sling shit, you decide of it’s tasty. Nudge, nudge, wink, wink
Pigs can be quite nice and are more than intelligent enough not to read National Enquirer or believe in conspiracy theories. And you should never insult the maker of the bacon.
What a piece of shit. That’s your guy, Republicans.
First his aide said that Trump didn’t really believe much of what he said, it was said just for effect. Now Trump says that he says things he doesn’t believe, or at least implies he believes them if his campaign will be advanced by those lies.
Now that is what we look for in a President. Isn’t it great? It’s ugggge! It makes me soooooo proud to be an American.a
