Former President Donald Trump continued his attacks against billionaire Elon Musk from his platform Truth Social on Tuesday, saying he’d be “worthless” without government subsidies. Recalling the billionaire’s visit to the White House during his presidency, Trump said that Musk wanted government subsidies for many of his projects that offered big promises without delivering many rewards. Trump said: When Elon Musk came to the White House asking me for help on all of his many subsidized projects, whether it’s electric cars that don’t drive long enough, driverless cars that crash, or rocketships to nowhere, without which subsidies he’d be worthless,...

You Tube. Trump explained in 2007 that the Iraq War turned into a civil war; someday the US will have to leave and "it will be a disaster." Trump reached out to returning maimed Iraqi vets. Worth a watch.

Donald Trump on Friday threatened to sue Ted Cruz for "not being a natural born citizen" if the Texas senator "doesn't clean up his act" and stop running negative ads against him. "If @TedCruz doesn't clean up his act, stop cheating, & doing negative ads, I have standing to sue him for not being a natural born citizen," he tweeted. If @TedCruz doesn't clean up his act, stop cheating, & doing negative ads, I have standing to sue him for not being a natural born citizen. -- Donald J.

Donald Trump on Wednesday leveled a bold accusation at one of his chief rivals for the Republican nomination: "Ted Cruz gave us Obamacare." "He's the one that got Justice Roberts onto the United States Supreme Court," Trump added. While Cruz vocally supported Roberts' nomination at the time, he was not yet a U.S. senator and therefore could not vote to confirm Roberts to the Supreme Court.

It is doubtful that Cruz supporters know these things about him. Goldman Sachs gave him $69,350. GS is under an FBI investigation that just started in June. It has a long history of dirty dealings and as a Democrat ATM, GS is pro-amnesty. Is this money a “pay it forward” bribe to Cruz to save GS and have a “President Cruz” call the FBI off of his wife’s employer? BTW: GS also gave a fat envelope to Mitch McConnell. The pro-amnesty Club For Growth gave Cruz $705,657. This is a lot of money. It begs the question: Who is Cruz...

As we head into a potential government shutdown over the funding of Obamacare, the iconoclastic junior senator from Texas -- love him or hate him -- continues to stride across the national stage. With his presidential aspirations as big as everything in his home state, by now many know what has never been a secret: Ted Cruz was born in Canada. (Full disclosure: I'm Canadian myself, with a green card. Also, Cruz has been a friend since his days representing Texas before the Supreme Court.) But does that mean that Cruz's presidential ambitions are gummed up with maple syrup or...

Apparently Donald Trump has reconsidered his stance that Ted Cruz is eligible to run for president after noticing that he’s kicking his butt in the Iowa polls, which is how the founders intended for us to solve such matters. Here’s el Trumpo back in September telling ABC News that ALL the lawyers said Cruz could run legally:

<p>Donald Trump said in an interview that rival Ted Cruz's Canadian birthplace was a"very precarious" issue that could make the senator from Texas vulnerable if he became the Republican presidential nominee.</p> <p>Trump added: "I'd hate to see something like that get in his way. But a lot of people are talking about it and I know that even some states are looking at it very strongly, the fact that he was born in Canada and he has had a double passport."</p>
