In a rather theatrical turn of events, clandestine recordings have emerged, offering a tantalizing glimpse into Senator Ted Cruz’s clandestine dissent regarding President Trump’s flamboyant trade escapades. A veritable soap opera, if one might say!
These delightful remarks, reportedly captured during a pair of intimate gatherings in the year of our Lord 2025, arrive as the Trumpian juggernaut escalates tensions with Canada, brandishing the threat of a staggering 100% tariff on all Canadian imports-because, naturally, China is to blame for everything, including our breakfast cereals.
Republican Senator Ted Cruz has been overheard, somewhat indiscreetly, expressing his belief that President Trump’s tariff antics will land the Republicans in a right pickle come November’s midterms! 👀 As one might expect, this juicy tidbit comes courtesy of @axios.

Secret Tapes: Cruz’s Private Provocation against Trump’s Tariff Tantrums
The whispers indicate that Senator Cruz has been warning his donor friends with the urgency of a fire alarm, claiming that Trump’s sweeping tariffs could lead to economic ruin and a Republican bloodbath in Congress. How very dramatic!
In the charming little tapes obtained by Axios, Cruz recounts a late-night tête-à-tête with Trump following the April 2025 tariff rollout, describing it as akin to a verbal jousting match-one where the president was decidedly not in the mood for pleasantries.
“Trump was in a particularly foul temper,” Cruz reportedly confided, adding that the president resorted to “yelling” and “cursing” like a sailor, while Senators were desperately trying to coax him into a more civil discussion.
Cruz cautioned his wealthy benefactors that if the good people of America head into the elections with plummeting retirement accounts and grocery prices soaring by an alarming “10-20%,” the Republican Party would be facing a veritable apocalypse.
The CEO of Walmart ominously predicts an unending rise in grocery prices throughout 2026.
Not a mere possibility. A certainty.
When the mightiest retailer in the land declares that relief is but a distant dream,
one ought to take heed.It appears this is our new reality.

It seems that Cruz had the audacity to directly warn Trump that such dire consequences could result in the loss of both houses of Congress and an eternity of impeachment melodramas. Oh, what a show that would be!
Trump’s response to Cruz’s cautionary tale was reportedly a rather blunt barb directed at Ted. Such camaraderie!
This private reprimand stands in stark contrast to Cruz’s public façade as one of Trump’s most loyal lapdogs in the Senate. The plot thickens!
“[The Senator remains] the president’s staunchest ally in the Senate,” proclaimed Axios, citing a spokesperson who surely must have had their fingers crossed.
According to said spokesperson, these recordings are nothing but attempts to “sow division.” Cruz, however, was unavailable for comment, perhaps caught up in a whirlwind of political intrigue.
The Canadian Tariff Spectacle: GOP Infighting over Trade, Crypto, and Power
As if scripted by a master playwright, the revelations coincide with Trump sharpening his rhetoric towards Canada, now wielding a menacing 100% tariff threat against our northern neighbors. How very cordial!
KARL: Trump granted Canada a nod for a deal with China, then just nine days later, he’s flinging around threats of 100% tariffs like confetti.
BESSENT: Well, no. There’s a possibility of 100% tariffs if they dare attempt a free trade agreement.

Reports suggest that the United States imported a staggering $400 billion worth of goods from Canada in 2025. One can only imagine how swiftly a blanket tariff would transform into a tax burden for every American household, sending energy costs and car prices skyrocketing overnight.
Trump threatens Canada with a 100% tariff over the Chinese deal.
This isn’t merely a bill for Ottawa; it’s one that lands squarely at the doorstep of every American.
In 2025, the U.S. imported approximately $400 billion in goods from our friendly neighbor. A 100% tariff would effectively:
Instant Tax Hike: Voilà…

Trump’s sudden shift reportedly followed a comment from Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney at the World Economic Forum in Davos, prompting Anthony Scaramucci to quip that “Carney has broken him.” What a delightful turn of phrase!
Carney has broken him.

In the tapes, Cruz also appears to have taken aim at Vice President JD Vance, portraying him as little more than a protégé of conservative pundit Tucker Carlson, accusing them both of championing an anti-interventionist foreign policy. Ah, the intrigue!
“Tucker created JD,” Cruz allegedly remarked in one of those tapes, linking the two to internecine squabbles over national security staffing and Iranian policy. How original!
Yet beyond mere politics, this dispute reveals a deeper ideological schism within the Republican Party, one that curiously intersects with the world of cryptocurrency, as if the fates conspired to intertwine them.
Cruz, ever the evangelical of Bitcoin, has been vocally advocating for free markets, low energy costs, and minimal government interference. In a shocking twist, he ventured into the Bitcoin mining industry in 2024, acquiring three miners in the exotic locale of Iraan, Texas.
I proudly acquired three Bitcoin miners that commenced hashing today in Iraan, TX.
I’m thrilled to join the illustrious ranks of Texas #BITCOIN miners!
– Ted Cruz (@tedcruz) May 31, 2024
He has fervently supported legislation promoting the use of flared natural gas for Bitcoin mining, vehemently opposed central bank digital currencies, and warned that excessive regulations and trade barriers might push innovation into less hospitable climes.
For Cruz, these tariffs are not merely a political gambit but an economic calamity waiting to happen. He has repeatedly decried broad tariffs as “taxes on the American people,” contending they undermine U.S. competitiveness in the realms of energy, technology, and crypto-sectors where states like Texas have risen to prominence.
The clandestine recordings hint that as Trump doubles down on his trade nationalism, Cruz is artfully positioning himself as the pro-free trade alternative. One does wonder how this melodrama will unfold!
