Ted Cruz Leaks On A Sinking Ship!

Lyin Ted is denying he is trashing MAGA and Trump.

Texas senator Ted Cruz is insufferable and incompetent. He is a weather vane. 

He allowed the president to insult his wife, his father, his looks and his patriotism. He gets more upset at a far right media personally who demanded he take a stand on U.S. interests over a foreign country. 

He cannot focus on the state of Texas. He cares more about Israel and its issues than the state was elected to represent.

Axios has leaked audio of Cruz worrying about how President Donald J. Trump, Vice President JD Vance and the Republicans are handling the country right now.

ICE kills another U.S. citizen, a deadly winter storm, inflation still burdening, NATO is at risk of breaking up, USMCA is at risk of collapsing, the president's mental and physical health, European Union organizing a trade group, BRICS courting the Global South, Israel still committing a genocide, Russia is still occupying Ukraine, Canada is working with China on free trade, Americans are overworked, education is on the decline, politics is now becoming a bloodsport, over 30 mass shootings in 25 days of 2026 and the penguins.

Somebody tell me, what the fuck is the penguins meme from the Trump Administration?

Job approval is 33%.

At the start of January, Trump was at 34%. He left 2025 at 41% overall.

Cruz trashed Trump and Vance in conversations with GOP donors last year, explosive leaked recordings allege. The Daily Beast outlines the controversial lawmakers remarks.

Ted Cruz secretly bashes Trump, Vance and Elon Musk.

The Texas senator, expected to second run for president in 2028, slammed Trump’s tariff crusade and said he even threatened his staff with immediate firing if they used the phrase “Liberation Day” to refer to the day the sweeping taxes were announced, reports Axios.

Cruz, 55, told donors he and other senators expressed their tariff disgust with Trump in a lengthy phone call, warning it would tank the economy and lead to his impeachment. The call pushed past midnight and “did not go well,” Cruz told donors, with Trump “yelling” and “cursing” at the lawmakers.

Cruz claims that he received an especially explicit response from the president that night.

“Mr. President, if we get to November of [2026] and people’s 401(k)s are down 30% and prices are up 10–20% at the supermarket, we’re going to go into Election Day, face a bloodbath,” Cruz told Trump, according to the recording. “You’re going to lose the House, you’re going to lose the Senate, you’re going to spend the next two years being impeached every single week.”

Trump allegedly responded bluntly: “‘Fuck you, Ted.’”

The White House did not respond to a request for comment.

Cruz’s office did not deny the contents of the recordings in a statement to Axios. 

Still, Cruz’s office claimed that he is still “the president’s greatest ally in the Senate and battles every day in the trenches to advance his agenda.”

2028 off to a great start for GOP.

Axios reports that the recordings were “nearly 10 minutes in total” and came from conversations in “early and middle 2025.” The site said the recordings were provided by a “Republican source.”

It is unclear which donors Cruz was speaking to.

Trump referred to Cruz as “Lyin’ Ted” in the 2016 GOP presidential primary and even went as far as suggesting that his wife, Heidi, is ugly compared to Melania. Still, Cruz has largely done Trump’s bidding in the Senate ever since, and he even campaigned for him in 2024.

Cruz, 55, is now believed to be eyeing another White House run, hoping to become a more traditional GOP successor to Trumpism. Standing in his way is the 41-year-old Vance, who is the overwhelming favorite to win the Republican nomination in the eyes of prediction markets.

Vance was “torched” by Cruz in the secret recordings, Axios reported. Sources also told The Washington Post last month that Cruz privately badmouths the VP to donors.

In the recordings obtained by Axios, Cruz claimed that Vance was a “pawn of conservative podcaster Tucker Carlson,” who is among Cruz’s biggest foes, having clashed with the ex-Fox News host in an explosive interview last summer over the Trump administration’s strikes on Iranian nuclear sites. Cruz supported the intervention and has repeatedly criticized Carlson for his opposition to U.S. military support of Israel.

“Tucker created JD,” Cruz told donors, according to Axios. “JD is Tucker’s protégé, and they are one and the same.”

Publicly, Cruz has never explicitly linked Vance and Carlson. He alleged to donors that the ousted National Security Adviser Mike Waltz—of Signalgate infamy—was pushed out of Trump’s Cabinet by Carlson and Vance.

“[He] supported being vigorous against Iran and bombing Iran—and Tucker and JD took Mike out,” Cruz said, according to Axios.

Carlson told Axios he had nothing to do with the high-profile ouster.
