The Ridiculous Conspiracy Theories People Fell For In 2016

Trump and Cruz Continue To Fight

While Ted and Rafael Cruz both deny the idea that Rafael could have assassinated Kennedy, and while the Cuban immigrant was living in the U.S. at the time, it still seems like a pretty far-fetched story. Trump also insulted Ted Cruz’s wife’s appearance and also suggested that Cruz is not fit to serve because he was born in Canada to an American citizen.

This wouldn’t be the first time Donald started a “birther” rumor; remember the birth certificate debacle with Obama? On the campaign trail, Cruz said, “It’s not easy to tick me off. I don’t get angry often. But you mess with my wife, you mess with my kids, that’ll do it every time. Donald, you’re a sniveling coward. Leave Heidi the hell alone.” Trump and Cruz continued to trade barbs throughout the election. Eventually, in an interesting turn of cowardly events, Cruz did give Trump his endorsement.
