Donald Trump Slams Ted Cruz: 'Nobody Likes Him'
Presidential candidate Donald Trump does not seem to leave the headlines as he is back on top this week. During his interview with "This Week," Trump released unflattering remarks against his presidential candidate opponent Senator Ted Cruz as per New York Daily's report.
During his interview with "This Week" at ABC, Trump described Cruz as a "nasty guy"; he then added that "nobody" likes the Senator stating, "The truth is, he's a nasty guy, nobody likes him. Nobody in Congress likes him. Nobody likes him anywhere once they get to know him."
In addition to what he said, Trump also stated that Cruz's nastiness isn't good for the United States, to which Trump added, "He's a very -- he's got an edge that's not good. You can't make deals with people like that and it's not a good thing. It's not a good thing for the country. Very nasty guy."
Trump's remarks were in reference to Cruz's defense during the GOP presidential debate in South Carolina. During the debate, Cruz described Trump as someone who represents the "New York values."
During an interview with Fox News, Cruz defended himself by explaining what he meant when he described Trump as someone who possesses "New Yok values" by telling the host Chris Wallace that, "It is amusing seeing the elite in New York and D.C. run around with their hair on fire, wondering what on earth are New York values. In the rest of the country, people understand exactly what that is."
Cruz pointed out Trump's 1999 interview wherein he mentinoned that he stayed in New York for the longest time which gives him a different view that those who lived in other states.
Cruz then added that, "He explained that his views were that he was very pro-choice, he supported partial birth abortion, he was open to gay marriage, and his explanation for all of that was, 'I'm a New Yorker.'"
As per CBS News, with these remarks being stated by Cruz, Trump came into defense stating that what Cruz said was disrespectful as Cruz insulted New Yorkers.
Trump then defended the city by telling CNN that, "I thought it was very, very insulting and I immediately thought of the World Trade Center and the bravery of New Yorkers and the genius of New Yorkers to be able to take that whole section and rebuild after the tragedy -- the worst thing that ever happened to our nation in terms of an attack."
