Trump: Cruz supported Chinese currency manipulation

By Ben Schreckinger

HARTFORD, Conn. — Donald Trump charged Ted Cruz with bowing to foreign interests and supporting the Chinese government's manipulation of its currency at a rally here on Friday night

Trump lodged the accusation during remarks on the decline of Connecticut's manufacturing sector, which he blamed on the entrance of China into the World Trade Organization and the country’s devaluing of its currency. “Cruz wants it to go on because somebody probably representing interests in China says, ‘This is what we want,’” Trump said.

Trump may be referring to the Texas senator’s vote last year against an amendment to TPP fast-track legislation proposed by Ohio Republican Sen. Rob Portman and Michigan Democratic Sen. Debbie Stabenow that would have made it “a principal negotiating objective of the United States to address currency manipulation in trade agreements.”

Representatives of the Cruz campaign also did not immediately respond to requests for comment.

Yes, I have a problem with Trump and Cruz having a real debate. After the disgusting Cuban Tag Team attack on Trump in that debate (which ironically ended Rubio's campaign) I can't imagine any reason why Trump would spend time debating with Cruz, time better spent talking to real voters.

Cruz now has AT LEAST two states now where he should cede some first-round delegates. In Colorado, it should be a do-over with a primary.

Cruz crushed the globalist establishment in the Medellin Supreme Court case.

In one of the debates Cruz was afraid people may stop buying Chinese diapers if they are tariffed.

Your tagline says "Would I lie to you?"

You may not but that is what Ted Cruz is for.
