— Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX), declining to say whether he views President Trump as a friend or a foe, describing him as simply “the president,” the Washington Post reports.
“Trump liked to say that one of the things that made life worth living was getting your friends’ wives into bed.”

— Longtime Trump friend Thomas Barrack, quoted by the Washington Post, saying he has been “shocked” and “stunned” by some of the president’s rhetoric.
