Heidi Cruz, wife of Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX), can’t seem to catch a break with President Donald Trump.

In the meme heard ‘round the world, then-candidate Trump shared side-by-side photos of his wife, Melania, and Heidi Cruz to prove that his wife was more attractive in 2016.

All seemed to be forgiven when Trump considered Cruz to be World Bank president in recent weeks. But, according to a Wednesday Bloomberg report, Trump is passing on Cruz and will likely go with Treasury Undersecretary David Malpass.

“It was an honor for Heidi to be considered by the administration as a finalist for president of the World Bank,” a Cruz spokesperson told Bloomberg.

Cruz is an executive at Goldman Sachs.

  2. I would say that Ted and Heidi Cruz sold their souls to the devil, but one would have to conclude that they had a soul to sell.

  3. Haha! Should have kissed that ass a little harder Ted. What a maroon.

    Well, she does look like she could bite the head off a puppy at any moment.

  5. What qualifications does that horrible entitled woman has to run the World bank. Trump was just baiting Cruz into servility, like he did with Romney, and many times with Christie. That’s a game he likes better than golf and he is actually good at it.
