Of all the spurious outrage Donald Trump routinely propagates none may
be more hypocritical than his criticism of Ted Cruz's "New York values"
comment. In the wake of Trump's embarrassing loss in Wisconsin, Trump
has now started a calculated retaliation heading into New York that is,
not surprisingly, based on reviving the phony umbrage of the Senator's
comments.
To
start, Ted Cruz did not, I repeat, did not, target the people of New
York with his comments as Donald Trump wrongfully perpetuates. Cruz's
comment was in direct response to Trump and New York's liberal politicians, only. And if you are outraged at
Cruz for saying this, you should be overwhelmingly more agitated at the
fact Trump himself made the same exact statement Ted Cruz did in a 1999
interview.
In
that interview not only did Donald say almost verbatim what Cruz did,
he also said that he was unequivocally for partial-birth abortions.
Something Trump still seems to struggle with keeping his story straight
on to this day. However, since I'm sure this will not be influential
enough to sway the offended masses, let's delve into Donald's New York
values.
For
someone that was so quick to attack the Senator for a statement he
himself made, you would think one must have a pretty impeccable set of
principles and values, yes?
So
just what are the New York values that Donald Trump possesses? Are they
his well documented connections and business dealings with the Mob? Are
they his exorbitant debts and failed ventures that have cost New York
taxpayers Millions of dollars?
Are
these values the same values that made Trump defraud thousands of
Americans with his fake university and ACN pyramid scheme? Or why he
turned away thousands of American workers to hire cheaper foreign and
illegal labor instead?
Was
it the New York values that got him into nearly 200 active lawsuits for
fraud? Do these values to him, in some extremely convoluted way,
justify the absolutely disgusting and repulsive way he's attacked and
harassed women?
Are
Trump's New York values the reason why he shamelessly brags about his
extramarital affairs and the fact that he's slept with other men's
wives? Or are these the values that made him vindictively withhold
medical care from a sick infant because he was mad at his family?
Maybe
it was the New York values that made Donald Trump petition not once,
but twice, to have disabled veteran vendors removed from 5th Avenue
because they were "clogging and seriously downgrading the area." Was it those same values that made him take money meant for
businesses damaged by 9/11, when none of his businesses or properties
were affected? Or was it these New York values that made Trump
sanctimoniously attack Ted Cruz on New York values and 9/11, even though
he didn't make a single donation to any 9/11 charities?
As
a New Yorker myself, I look back at Trump's record and I am truly
appalled at what I see. These are not my values and I know these
are not New York's values, they are a sign of no values!
