After the Colorado Supreme Court disqualified Donald Trump from running for president based on the 14th amendment, an old Trump tweet calling on Iowa to 'disqualify' Ted Cruz resurfaced.

A vintage tweet from former Republican President Donald Trump in which he called for Texas GOP Senator Ted Cruz to be "disqualified" has come back to haunt him following the Colorado Supreme Court's ruling to ban Trump from the state's ballot.

Trump–who was charged with 91 federal charges across four indictments while seeking a 2024 presidential nomination–was declared ineligible for the White House under the U.S. Constitution’s insurrection clause on Tuesday in a historic 4-3 ruling by the Colorado Supreme Court.


The internet found sweet justice after Trump's old tweet from February 3, 2016 resurfaced in which he called for the state of Iowa to disqualify Cruz.

At the time of posting, Trump claimed that Cruz–who was his challenger during the 2016 Republican presidential primaries–committed "fraud" after Cruz won the Iowa caucuses.

Following a previous tweet in which Trump accused the Texas Junior Senator of "stealing" the election in the key state, Trump wrote a follow-up tweet in which he wrote:

"The State of Iowa should disqualify Ted Cruz from the most recent election on the basis that he cheated–a total fraud!"


Hmm, takes one to know one. Right?

Calling Cruz a fraud after Trump's decisive loss in Iowa was rich considering Trump was arrested in Atlanta, Georgia on August 24, 2023, after being indicted on 13 felony charges for allegedly trying to overturn the 2020 election in the state. Not to mention the fact that Trump is condemning the fact that a court would get to decide this rather than the people at the ballot.

Social media users had plenty to say after Colorado's ruling made headlines.











Meanwhile, Trump's legal team is seeking to appeal Colorado's ruling to the U.S. Supreme Court, which has the final say over constitutional matters.

Trump campaign spokesman Steven Cheung said in a statement:

“The Colorado Supreme Court issued a completely flawed decision tonight and we will swiftly file an appeal to the United States Supreme Court and a concurrent request for a stay of this deeply undemocratic decision."



Colorado's decision marked the first time in history that Section 3 of the 14th Amendment was invoked to successfully disqualify a presidential candidate from seeking the office.
