The war that began over Melania Trump’s naked photo from a GQ photoshoot has escalated to new heights on Twitter. On Thursday, March 24, the Twitter account of Donald Trump retweeted an unflattering photo of Heidi Cruz, wife of Ted Cruz, as seen on the left side of the below photo. On the right side of the Twitter meme photo, Melania is seen in a flattering picture. The “Real Donald Trump” Twitter account copied the original caption from the photo that was tweeted from the Don Vito Twitter account (@Don_Vito_08) on March 24, which wrote that a picture is worth a thousand words.

The inference is that Donald is somehow better because his wife, Melania, is better looking isn’t sitting well with folks responding to the disparaging tweet. As seen below from the original Twitter meme, the photo reads that there’s no need for Trump to “spill the beans” about Heidi, as Donald threatened, but the Twitter post reads that the photos of the two wives are worth a thousand words.

The war of the Trump-Cruz wives began when a Cruz-supporting SuperPAC used a nude photo of Melania to try and disparage the would-be First Lady.

Trump immediately took to Twitter after the nude photo of Melania began circulating, with Donald accusing Ted of taking a low blow by using the naked photo of Melania as a campaign tactic.

Donald threatened to “spill the beans” about Heidi, Cruz’s wife, in retaliation. Heidi said that Trump’s accusations had no basis in reality, as reported by NBC News.

However, Donald continued to blame Ted for an ad featuring a naked Melania — a nude ad that Cruz didn’t make and claims to have not approved.

Indeed, perhaps not since Donald sat in between his ex-wife, Ivana Trump, and his then-girlfriend, Melania Knauss — along with Donald and Ivana’s daughter Ivanka — as seen in the below photo, has such a side-by-side photo “war of the wives” type of controversy played out in public. That photo of Trump’s ex-wife and his then-future wife, Melania, was taken on September 8, 2001, three days before the tragic events of September 11. Trump and his ex-wife and girlfriend Melania were together at the USTA National Tennis Center in Flushing, New York.

The backlash against Trump using the new side-by-side photos of Melania (this time not naked) and Heidi has folks responding in kind on Twitter, with cruel side-by-side photos of Melania of their own making. One such photo of Melania, as seen below, purports to show Melania before and after surgery.

And yet, the Don Vito Twitter account keeps retweeting the same side-by-side photo of Melania and Heidi, claiming that if a person messes with the bull, they’ll get the proverbial horns.

Meanwhile, as seen in the below video from GMA, Ted said that Heidi is way out of Donald’s league.

Ted also took the high road on his Twitter account after Donald retweeted the image of the wives in the side-by-side photo. Cruz retweeted Donald’s retweet photo and complimented Melania. Ted wrote that Donald’s wife is lovely and that Heidi is the love of Cruz’s life. Cruz also added that Donald shouldn’t attack women.

Plenty of the comments on the Twitter page of the Republican presidential candidate prove that some think Donald took it too far when Trump retweeted the side-by-side photo of Melania and Heidi, inferring that Donald is somehow a better man because of his wife’s appearance.
