Ted Cruz warned Donald Trump, his fellow Republican, that he would face a “bloodbath” in the November midterm elections if prices continued to rise, prompting the president to respond, “fuck you, Ted,” the US senator told donors, according to a secret recording of the private conversation obtained by Axios.
Cruz reportedly delivered the reality check to the president in a phone conversation after Trump unveiled sweeping tariffs a few months after returning to the Oval Office in early 2025. The president was unhappy, Cruz said – and yelled and cursed in a conversation with Republican senators.
“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 said he told the president, according to Axios. “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.”
Only 34% approve of how Trump has handled the cost of living while 64% disapprove, according to a recent New York Times/Siena poll. There is also evidence the economy may be motivating those who voted for Trump in 2024 but now disapprove of him, according to the Times.
Puta merda. If ever he gets cuffed send him back to Cuba to stand trial for crime against humanity.
is cruz on the verge of losing his seat, probably not. but i think a few dems in texas voted for ice funding, and they are afraid to lose thier seats(they ice facilities in thier district)
I gotta say, I agree with both their statements.
The next president will promise to fix everything that Trump broke. I’m sure of it.
And then not
Is upvoting this bad juju?
Fuck man it might be
Edit: gonna down vote it to be safe
Sucks to suck
Inshallah
I look forward to this "bloodbath’. Sounds like a good time.
Eat shit MAGAt morons!
Ngl Ted being privately concerned about the midterms is the biggest “sign of life” that we will be having midterms.
This article is about a phone conversation in early 2025, so don’t be so sure about those elections.
Actually, Trump’s reaction may be.
If he would have said “Don’t worry” with his trademark schoolyard mafioso wannabe smirk, then it would be worrying.
hes afraid of losing his seat after making his lizard nest in texas.
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
Wow, I agree with something Ted Cruz said. That doesn’t happen often.
fuck you, Ted
And I agree with something Trump said? On the same day, no less. What are the odds?
Thirty percent? Is that all it would take?
You ever talked a weed republican? Stingiest people on earth. I could see them not voting.
(They used to be called ‘libertarians’ but its clear now they don’t give a shit about rights, just weed)
"[Y]ou’re going to spend the next two years being impeached every single week.”
Ted Cruz has more faith in Democrats than I do.
They shouldn’t impeach Trump every week. Some weeks we should impeach Noem, Clarence Thomas, Besset, Hegseth, Mike Johnson, and a bunch of others.
If we’re feeling festive one week, hell, we’ll impeach him twice!
To be fair, I don’t know if there’s a person on earth who doesnt want to say “Fuck you Ted” to Ted Cruz. Hate Trump, don’t blame him for that one though.
Even a broken clock hates Ted Cruz as they say
There’s not a single person on earth?? That’s a bit of an exaggeration. The people of Texas continue voting for “Fled Cruz”…
he recently fled to california, to avoid “freezing to death” so he can shed his reptilian skin.
Flyin’ Ted
“Erm actually that silly statement you made factually incorrect, allow me to provide you with adequate data to disprove your assertion” -your pedantic ass
Chill. No one’s correcting you, I’m highlighting the absurd fact that the idiot Republicans in Texas actually approve of Cruz! We’re all being silly here…
Yee yee im just having fun
hard to say it to a person who is the zodiac killer.
I’m sure many of us would prefer, “Fuck you, Raphael.”
I’m sure many of us would prefer “Fuck you, Endymion”.
Fair enough :-)
Don’t amplify this greasy shit-weasel’s attempt to distance himself from the fascist regime he’s been taint-suckling for years. The only next Cruz headline that is relevant will be “Cruz resigns in humiliation and disgrace…”
cruz neither feels shame, disgrace or humiliation he has a kink for it.
Oh I completely agree, I just don’t care if he’s pulling his teensy semi about it; the important part is that he not be in the position of authority lol
Nah, the next Presidential election is going to be Cruz vs Newsom
Raphael Cruz is learning about leopards eating faces.
I love it when the GOP base fractures!
The WH has become a sieve and I’m here for it.
I just wish the Whitehouse was boring again.
Remember the days when sex between consenting adults was a scandal?
I wish it was a crater.
Your wish is 1/3 of the way fulfilled.
Ted Cruz deserves the guillotine.
he will just grow a new head as reptilian alien humanoid.
