‘I will spill the beans on your wife’: spouses get dragged into bitter Trump-Cruz fray
Donald Trump and his main challenger for the Republican presidential nomination, Ted Cruz, have escalated their bitter feud, taking to social media to clash over two unlikely figures: their wives.
An anti-Trump political group unveiled a campaign ad ahead of Tuesday’s votes in Arizona and Utah that uses a photograph of Trump’s wife Melania lying provocatively in his custom-fitted jet, naked and handcuffed to a briefcase.
“Meet Melania Trump, your next first lady,” read the online ad, posted on Facebook by the group Make America Awesome.
“Or, you could support Ted Cruz on Tuesday.”
Melania Trump, 45, is a Slovenian-American jewelry designer and former model.
The use of the image, from a GQ magazine photo shoot in 2000 when she was Melania Knauss and not yet married to Trump, angered the billionaire real estate magnate, who made his own veiled threat about Cruz’s wife Heidi in a tweet late Tuesday.
