I Feel Like a Kid of a Bitter Divorce Wishing ‘Mommy and Daddy Would Stop Screaming’: Cruz on Trump vs Musk
The ongoing feud between US President Donald Trump and billionaire Elon Musk has been making headlines for weeks, with both parties trading barbs on social media. While many have been following the saga with great interest, one person who has had a front-row seat to the drama is Republican Senator Ted Cruz. In a recent interview, Cruz revealed how Trump reacted when Musk started posting against his decisions, saying that the President was “pissed” and “venting”.
As someone who has been a close friend to both Trump and Musk, Cruz’s insights into their feud are certainly fascinating. But what’s perhaps most striking is his own personal analogy for the situation – likening it to a bitter divorce where he simply wishes his parents would “stop screaming”.
Cruz’s comments came during an interview with a prominent news outlet, where he discussed his relationships with both Trump and Musk. When asked about the feud, Cruz said that Trump was indeed upset when Musk started posting against his decisions.
“Trump was pissed. He was venting,” Cruz said. “I’ve known both of them for a long time, and I’ve seen them both be criticized before. But this was different. This was like a personal attack, and Trump took it very personally.”
Cruz’s comments are particularly interesting given his own history with Trump. The two have had a complicated relationship, with Cruz being one of the few Republican senators who refused to back Trump during his 2016 presidential campaign. Despite this, the two have apparently put their differences aside and become friends.
So what might have triggered Trump’s reaction to Musk’s posts? According to Cruz, it was the perceived personal nature of Musk’s attacks.
“Musk was targeting Trump personally, and that’s what really got under his skin,” Cruz said. “Trump is used to being criticized, but when it’s personal, that’s a different story.”
Cruz’s analogy about the feud being like a bitter divorce is also worth noting. As someone who has grown up with divorced parents, Cruz knows firsthand the stress and tension that can come with family conflicts. And while his situation is undoubtedly different from the Trump-Musk feud, his comments highlight the emotional toll that public feuds can take on those involved.
“I feel like the kid of a bitter divorce where you’re just saying, ‘I wish mommy and daddy would stop screaming’,” Cruz said. “It’s like, you’re stuck in the middle, and you just want it to stop. You want the fighting to stop, and you want the peace to come back.”
Cruz’s comments are a sobering reminder of the human cost of public feuds. While Trump and Musk may be two powerful and influential individuals, their feud is still having a significant impact on those around them – including their friends, family, and supporters.
As the feud continues to escalate, it will be interesting to see how things play out. Will Trump and Musk be able to put their differences aside, or will the tension continue to build? One thing is certain, however – the drama will continue to captivate the public’s attention, and Cruz’s comments will undoubtedly be remembered as a fascinating insight into the complex dynamics at play.
