By Sandy Fitzgerald. GOP nominee Donald Trump said Friday that scorned former rival Ted Cruz added negative remarks to his controversial Republican National Convention speech after submitting it to Trump for review.

Trump dropped the bombshell during an even to applaud the volunteers and others behind what he called a very successful RNC. . .

“I knew his speech, I saw exactly what his speech was because when you go up to speak, you have to give your speech, you know? We don’t want surprises, right? So they gave it,” Trump said. “They came to me and said it’s a boring speech, Mr. Trump. He congratulates you on the victory — congratulates you on the victory

But “Ted Cruz took his speech that was done, was on the teleprompter, said hello, then made a statement that wasn’t on the speech and then went back to his speech,” he said.

“To me, that’s dishonorable. To me, not signing a pledge is dishonorable. OK? Not a nice thing to do.” (Read more from “Like a Moth to a Flame, Trump Heaps Scorn on Cruz, Keeps Feud Alive to His Detriment” HERE)

Donald Trump Just Can’t Seem to Let Go of His Grudge With Ted Cruz, Because Donald Trump

Trump spoke to Republican National Committee volunteers on Friday morning in Cleveland, where he spent a significant amount of time insulting Cruz after the runner-up gave a speech where he refused to endorse Trump. . .

Anyway, that whole drama happened Wednesday. And here we are on Friday, still talking about it. That’s because Trump spent so much time going on about Cruz that if you were suddenly dropped from outer space and forced to watch CNN on Friday morning, you would think America was still in the middle of a hard-fought, incredibly acrimonious and personally offensive primary campaign between the two men. . .

It’s not like Trump will have one flash of anger with a microphone in his face and this will all be over. In an interview taped Thursday with CBS’s Ted Koppel, Trump called Cruz being booed “beautiful.” (Read more from “Donald Trump Just Can’t Seem to Let Go of His Grudge With Ted Cruz, Because Donald Trump” HERE)
