Trump apologized to Cruz for 2016 election insults, book reveals

Former President Donald Trump apologized to Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX) for insulting his wife and father during the 2016 GOP presidential primaries, according to a new book by former Trump campaign manager Paul Manafort.

Trump apologized to Cruz and his family in person, an unusual act for the former president who has a reputation for refusing to apologize, Manafort said. Trump had insinuated that Cruz's wife Heidi Cruz was ugly, attached Cruz's father to the assassination of former President John F. Kennedy, and questioned whether Cruz could be the next president if he was born in Canada.

“On his own initiative, Trump did apologize for saying some of the things he said about Cruz, which was unusual for Trump," Manafort said in the book, according to the Guardian.

   I figured that he did because Cruz is not the pu$$y Trumpers make him out to be and HE did eventually endorse/work with Trump.

Trump was right to do that.

I’d like to see Cruz on the Supreme Court.

   I get that, If he was the TX Governor I'd be telling America to f*k off, he's ours! 

   Before we put Ted on the SC @debrawiest I'd like to see him as AG for a couple of years, clean up that cesspool.

   * I voted for Allen West (another Florida transplant)

Good idea. He’d be a good fit as AG.
Instead, maybe Mike Lee on the SC. (Of course, that would leave Utah without any decent representation.)
A girl can dream…..

The left has tried their damnedest to take him down.  The 60 Minutes hit piece. That whack job whore he fired for claiming he changed/hid FL  Covid death numbers. That skank bitch is running for congress and thinks she will beat Gaetz's for his seat.  The Harpies at the View called him "Death Santis".  They tried to take him out with the battle cry of "Don't Say Gay".  Didn't work.  He took on the woke House of Mouse...and beat the hell out of them. 

This guy is the real deal.

Yeah. I'd probably vote for him.  :beer:

   Because he's a Gentleman @Right_in_Virginia unlike the guy who LOST control of his emotions in the first place and felt the need to apologize later, which from the article, he doesn't do MUCH.
