About

Donald Trump Reacts to Ted Cruz is a photoshop meme based on a photograph of the Republican presidential candidate and his family members looking displeased as his former rival candidate Ted Cruz defiantly refused to endorse Donald Trump during his speech at the Republican National Convention in July 2016.

Origin

On July 20th, 2016, United States Senator and Republican presidential candidate Ted Cruz delivered a speech at the Republican National Convention, during which he congratulated Donald Trump on his victory in the primaries, though he ultimately refused to endorse him as the Republican Party's presidential candidate by urging the attendees to "vote their conscience" in November. As the audience began booing at Cruz, Getty Images photographer Win McNamee[1] captured the reaction of Trump and his family looking rather displeased with Cruz.

Thing is, this was no surprise. Trump knew that Cruz wasn’t going to endorse him. Cruz told him beforehand, and the contents of his speech were already known.

Trump decided to just stand back and let this happen, and just look at all the buzz it generated already.

Also take note of how Trump was perfectly positioned to appear precisely when the crowd started booing Cruz. He hadn’t even finished his speech when Trump stole the spotlight.

This whole mess is playing out in Trump’s favor, as even a significant part of the #Nevertrump crowd is taking his side over this.
