BY EMILY BIRNBAUM - 10/21/18 10:37 AM EDT
Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Texas) on Sunday said President Trump is neither friend nor foe, but he is "the president" with an agenda that Cruz stands behind.
"Is [Trump] your friend, is he your foe?" ABC's Paula Faris asked Cruz. "How do you describe the relationship?"
"He's the president," Cruz replied. "I work with the president in delivering on our promises."
"What I told the president the week after the election, I said, 'Mr. President, I want to do everything humanly possible to roll up my sleeves and lead the fight in the Senate to deliver on our promises,'" Cruz continued.
He listed what he sees as key elements of Trump's agenda - "to cut taxes, to cut job-filing regulations, to secure the border, to confirm strong constitutionalists to the Supreme Court and the federal courts, to rebuild our military."

He thinks he is the goddam emperor of the United States. And he he wrong, ever so wrong! He should not even be considered a rightful president.

This is amusing https://politicalwire.com/2018/10/21/cruz-wont-say-if-trump-is-a-friend/
Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX) declined to say whether he views President Trump as a friend or a foe, describing him as simply the president, the Washington Post reports.
Said Cruz: Hes the president. I work with the president in delivering on our promises. What I told the president the week after the election, I said, Mr. President, I want to do everything humanly possible to roll up my sleeves and lead the fight in the Senate to deliver on our promises.
