Donald Trump Says He Wouldn’t Call Ted Cruz a “Pussy” If He Were President Because His Uncle Taught at MIT


Donald Trump says he wouldn’t call Ted Cruz a pussy if he were president because “when it comes to great steaks, I’ve just raised the stakes.”

Just kidding!

He actually told Lester Holt that he wouldn’t call Cruz “a pussy” as president because “I went to one of the best schools. I was a good student. I have an uncle who was one of the top professors at MIT. It’s a good gene pool right there.” So that doesn’t make that much more sense than the steak thing.

THANK YOU.

We recently wrapped up the crowdfunding campaign for our ambitious Mother Jones Corruption Project, and it was a smashing success. About 10,364 readers pitched in with donations averaging $45, and together they contributed about $467,374 toward our $500,000 goal.

That's amazing. We still have donations from letters we sent in the mail coming back to us, so we're on pace to hit—if not exceed—that goal. Thank you so much. We'll keep you posted here as the project ramps up, and you can join the hundreds of readers who have alerted us to corruption to dig into.
