Ted Cruz Pens the Time Magazine Tribute to Trump

Right now it's easy to forget, but two years ago Sen. Ted
Cruz (R-TX) angered a convention center full of Donald
Trump supporters by telling voters to "vote their
conscience" in the presidential election. It was a not so
subtle dig at the Republican nominee. A few weeks before
his controversial RNC speech, Cruz called Trump a
"pathological liar."

Trump hit back at Cruz with "Lyin' Ted" and the two
engagedin a war of words for weeks.

How "Time" has changed. A couple years after these two
WhiteHouse competitors shared insults, Cruz is singing
the president's praises in Time Magazine's latest "Most
Influential People" feature.

Here is Cruz's
full tribute
to the man who took Washington
by storm.
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.

individuals of 2018, which includes other lawmakers,
