Sen. Ted Cruz Wrote About President Trump For Time’s ‘100 Most Influential People’ List

Time Magazine recently released its “100 Most Influential People” list. President Trump made the list (because duh) and guess who wrote the little snippet about him. Go ahead. Guess.

If you said, “Sen. Ted Cruz,” then by golly YOU ARE CORRECT. It’s super positive. In fact, he kinda sounds like a fan.

President Trump is a flash-bang grenade thrown into Washington by the forgotten men and women of America. The fact that his first year as Commander in Chief disoriented and distressed members of the media and political establishment is not a bug but a feature.

The same cultural safe spaces that blinkered coastal elites to candidate Trump’s popularity have rendered them blind to President Trump’s achievements on behalf of ordinary Americans. While pundits obsessed over tweets, he worked with Congress to cut taxes for struggling families. While wealthy celebrities announced that they would flee the country, he fought to bring back jobs and industries to our shores. While talking heads predicted Armageddon, President Trump’s strong stand against North Korea put Kim Jong Un back on his heels.

President Trump is doing what he was elected to do: disrupt the status quo. That scares the heck out of those who have controlled Washington for decades, but for millions of Americans, their confusion is great fun to watch.

If you told me Cruz would be writing good things about Trump this time in two years ago, I would’ve had a really hard time believing that. I mean, who can forget “Lyin’ Ted”?

Twitter isn’t letting him live it down.

How much of a craven pile of feces do you have to be to write this about a man who insulted you, your wife and your father?

Answer: see Rafael Ted Cruz

@tedcruz @realDonaldTrump Are you kidding me? Installation of a criminal mobster in the Whitehouse is NOT a "feature."

Good grief…that is an embarrassment.

Appalling, despicable, shameless….I have run out of words to describe the GOP. I am in a constant state of distress over this President. To think a US Senator is enjoying that….well… no words…

You’re in a constant state of distress? Dude… take a nap. Watch a movie. Eat some ice cream. Smell some lavender. It isn’t the end of the world.

Call me old fashioned, but if I were Ted Cruz and Donald Trump had personally branded me as a liar, suggested he had dirt on my wife, spread rumors that my father assasinated JFK, and was, you know, Donald Trump, I’d probably pass on writing his effusive TIME magazine blurb.

On May 3, 2016, Ted Cruz accused Trump during a news conference of being a "pathological liar," "utterly amoral," "a narcissist at a level I don't think this country's ever seen" and "a serial philanderer." https://t.co/9ZkVW2s6NA

This is so humiliating for Ted Cruz. I can't stop laughing. Is he auditioning to be Trump's butler or something? https://t.co/NU431JseWX

Ted Cruz, who ended his campaign calling Donald Trump an "utterly amoral" "pathological liar" "narcissist at a level I don't think this country has ever seen," writes an ode to Trump's elites-triggering for this year's Time most influential list: https://t.co/rIOec1PP7f

Cruz is clearly over the personal attacks of the past. He’s focusing on what Trump is doing NOW, and it’s clear he’s enjoying watching him confound MSM just as much as the rest of us. To be fair, during the election, we didn’t really KNOW what kind of leader Trump would be. Everyone was freaked out. No one knew what to expect, Cruz included. But now? Now he sees what Trump is doing, and he’s as impressed as the rest of us. I don’t think that’s necessarily “spineless.” I think he’s swallowing his pride and looking at the facts. Trump is getting stuff done. It’s undeniable.
