No, this isn't an old article. It actually came up again. And he believes the National Enquirer fake (in that it wasn't Cruz's dad in them) photos.

A 'no comment' would've been far better.

Trump is a dishonest immoral man who doesn't have an ounce of honor in him. Its the creature he is and will forever be.

The fact is that Trump admitted to lying about this when he told Wolf Blitzer that he didn't really believe the story but he wanted to win.

The only reason this dog is returning to its vomit is because Ted Cruz continues to oppose the health care bill that Trump supports.

Amen.

I'm really trying to be fair to him, but today his foot in mouth disease has been acting up.

Well how can you blame Don for sounding like a professional jackass in this interview. Lyin' Ted hanging around with that ugly wife of his and the murdering father would shake anyone's nerves.

I really do wish he drank because it would be a reasonable excuse for his mouth.

Let me guess. This is another "nothingburger" that we have to ignore, as it's just Trump being Trump.

Or is someone going to sprain their brain trying to explain what Trump meant here? Spicer could use all the help he can get.

Well, from the article he is basically saying "I didn't say that, I said a newspaper (the Enquirer) said it". Is that even true?

Good advice.  He should take it.

He should also apologize.

Trump: Why Should I Apologize for Tying Ted Cruz’s Dad to Lee Harvey Oswald?

 Posted at 12:00 pm on March 23, 2017 by Patterico


On a day when Donald Trump is trying to get the House to pass TrumpCare (I hope he fails, by the way) and the Senate’s business is overshadowed by the Gorsuch hearings, we have a new interview in which Trump plays the jackass. And nowhere is his jackassery more on display than in this comment:

But you would agree also that some of the things you have said haven’t been true. You say that Ted Cruz’s father was with Lee Harvey Oswald.

Well that was in a newspaper. No, no, I like Ted Cruz, he’s a friend of mine. But that was in the newspaper. I wasn’t, I didn’t say that. I was referring to a newspaper. A Ted Cruz article referred to a newspaper story with, had a picture of Ted Cruz, his father, and Lee Harvey Oswald, having breakfast.

That gets close to the heart…

Why do you say that I have to apologize? I’m just quoting the newspaper, just like I quoted the judge the other day, Judge Napolitano, I quoted Judge Napolitano, just like I quoted Bret Baier, I mean Bret Baier mentioned the word wiretap. Now he can now deny it, or whatever he is doing, you know. But I watched Bret Baier, and he used that term. I have a lot of respect for Judge Napolitano, and he said that three sources have told him things that would make me right. I don’t know where he has gone with it since then. But I’m quoting highly respected people from highly respected television networks.

Except the photo is a lie. There is no evidence at all it is Cruz's dad in that photo. Just some Hispanic looking guy who looks only barely like Cruz's dad but could also be ten million other Hispanic guys.

Fringe blogs and tabloids made up the story it was Cruz's dad with zero evidence. As Trumpy still believes that and didn't have even an iota of concern it wasn't true, really says a lot.

Worse, the tabloid ran the story with the specific purpose of helping Trump.

I suspect he's having a Trumpertantrum to try and get Cruz behind Trump care.
