Donald Trump has the persona of a bully "down to a t" as the saying goes. Either he is acting out a role scripted for him by someone else, or this is his true, natural persona. The undeniable fact is that Trump seeks to intimidate and standover his opponents.
How many times has be threatened to sue those who oppose or criticise him? Countless times. One can just imagine him giving a State of the Union address: "Either you do what I say or I am going to sue the lot of you". What a joke. Repeatedly, he has sought to intimidate critics or opponents, warning them to "Watch out." The implication being that he has some dirt on them which he will hurl unless they stop criticising him.
His latest target is Heidi Cruz, the wife of his last real Republican rival in the race for nomination at the Republican candidate.
Heidi Cruz spoke out today after front-runner Donald Trump threatened to “spill the beans” on her, saying she’s “not worried in the least” about what he has to say. “You probably know by now that most of the things that Donald Trump says have no basis in reality,” the wife of Sen. Ted Cruz said in a rare solo press conference in Waukesha, Wisconsin. “So we are not worried in the least and focusing on our campaign,” she said, “and we are going to continue to do that.”
The ad featuring a nearly nude photo of Melania Trump that prompted Trump’s tweet was run by an anti-Trump Super PAC called Make America Awesome, not the campaign, Heidi Cruz pointed out. “A lot of the things that are done from time to time are not from our campaign,” she said. “And so I want you to focus on what our campaign puts out.”
Here's Trump's threat on Twitter:
Lyin' Ted Cruz just used a picture of Melania from a G.Q. shoot in his ad. Be careful, Lyin' Ted, or I will spill the beans on your wife!Ted Cruz gave a classy defence of his wife, leaving Trump exposed as a blustering bully.
In an interview today, Ted Cruz told CNN that Trump’s tweet about Heidi “should be beneath Donald,” but was a response to his loss in Utah last night. “So last night, Donald threatened my wife. He went directly after my wife,” Cruz told Cuomo. “And I gotta tell you that, number one, Heidi, my wife, she’s the daughter of missionaries in Africa, she’s my best friend in the world, and if Donald wants to get in the character fight, he’s better off sticking with me cause Heidi is way out of his league.”
