Republican presidential candidate Ted Cruz is no stranger to popular culture, and it looks like he’s never going to give up trolling Donald Trump.
To celebrate April Fools’ Day, Cruz “rickrolled” visitors to his campaign’s website by sharing a video that purported to show how Trump had finally accepted his challenge to a one-on-one debate — after months of dragging his feet.
The Cruz camp shared a video that shows the Texas senator speaking in Des Moines, Iowa, inviting Trump to debate him at any time. Then it shows two clips of Trump: In the first, he brags about polls showing him to have won every single debate; in the second — taken out of context — he says, “We’re gonna go on forever with these debates.”

Treachery all around. I think it’s perfectly possible of infiltrators including speechwriters.
I believe treachery. If it has just been a rickroll I might think it was Trump. But with the plagerizing of Michelle of all people...I call treachery.
There’s no plagiarism, they just want to get Trump to make a side-by-side comparison of Michelle and Melania so they can revive the Heidi Cruz fiasco. That was one of the few hit stories that touched Trump.
Agree...although the comparison and accusations came out very quickly and the constant hammering today??? Me thinks this was set up by the DEMS and NEVERTRUMPS.
Melania was superb!
The whole first day was filled with many devastating comparisons. The selection of the speakers was genius! To weave the comparison from what the left says with forced emotion compared to the true & raw emotion of those wronged! Those who's lives impacted by leftist policies and the last 7 and 1/2 years of incompetence. The hate America crowd compared to the crowd that loves America!
Melania’s speech compared to Michelle’s.
What family really embodies these values? Compare. After 7 and 1/2 years, I can say the Obama’s do not.
I never watch these conventions.
When the first Navy Seal spoke, sorry I am terrible with names, you could tell how angry he was that so much has been lost.
It really got me. Not too difficult being a lady but I cried for 15 minutes. Then smiled. It was a remarkable first night.
Yay we have Mel on our team.....see you at FR!
He is a master at manipulating the media with his pranks.
I have considered that the speech writer might have been trying to embarrass Melania, but that is too much of a reach.
If this was a Cruz thing, his creepy ass needs to be chased back to Canada!
Crap. There isn’t ANYTHING that hasn’t already been said in this world. I believe Melania before I would Michelle Obama for sure.
“Republican presidential candidate Ted Cruz is no stranger to popular culture, “
Yeah, when I think pop culture and hip, I think of the greasy haired Princeton Cuban/Canadian. He is the opposite of hip, edgy, or pop culture.
Never attribute to malice that which is adequately explained by stupidity or carelessness.
— Goethe’s The Sorrows of Young Werther (1774)
I agree ! This rickroll needs to go viral on Twitter, Instagram , and Facebook . Malinia is gorgeous and the whole rickroll thing is well done . People need to get a sense of humor and turn this into a positive .
I wish I would have known what kind of person Cruz was in the beginning - acting not very Christian.

“Was Melania’s Rickroll a cruzbot speech writer trying to harm her”
Disgusting, and I want to know who the speechwriter was. Someone screwed her and number one suspect is the guy who thought it was funny to release sexy modeling photos of Melania to suggest she wouldn’t be a good first lady.
Cruz has no business on stage now. Its going to turn out to be one of his minions.
