Ted Cruz trashed President Donald Trump and Vice President JD Vance in conversations with GOP donors last year, explosive leaked recordings allege. The Texas senator, expected to 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. "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: "F--- you, Ted.'"
