Sen. Ted Cruz and President Donald Trump have had a tumultuous relationship, to say the least.
During the 2016 presidential election, Trump called Cruz "wacko" and claimed the Texas lawmaker's father was involved in the assassination of President John F. Kennedy.
Cruz, meanwhile, called Trump a "pathological liar," "utterly amoral," a "narcissist at a level I don't think this country's ever seen," and a "serial philanderer."
But after Trump was elected, Cruz and Trump are apparently friends again. Last year, Trump described their evolution as "like, dislike like."
And Trump debuted a new nickname for the Texas senator during the midterm elections.
"He's not 'Lyin' Ted anymore. He's beautiful Ted," Trump said in October.
