Combative Trump Takes on Boeing, Apple at Close of South Carolina Race
By John McCormick
As Donald Trump barreled toward his next test of strength in the Republican nomination fight, the billionaire confronted two top U.S. companies, a popular pope and virtually anyone else in his way.
It was just another day on the campaign trail for the Republican front-runner.
The real estate mogul's most dramatic move Friday was to call for a boycott of Apple Inc., following the company's refusal to cooperate with a judge’s order to assist law enforcement in unlocking the iPhone of a California suspect in the San Bernardino shooting rampage that killed 14 people in December.

Even Marco Rubio said, ‘He’s a liar,’ and when a politician says another politician is a liar -- I’ve never heard that before -- I felt so good," Trump said.
Cruz, in turn, launched a new attack on Trump, suggesting that he could not be trusted to pick a conservative justice to fill a Supreme Court vacancy, like the one created by the death of Justice Antonin Scalia.
