Cornyn Says He Kept Disagreements with Trump Private

Sen. John Cornyn (R-TX) told the Fort Worth Star Telegram that at times he has disagreed with President Trump on issues such as budget deficits and debt, tariffs and trade agreements and border security.

But he said he chose to work on those disagreements with the president’s staff in private discussions, rather than by publicly voicing his opposition.

Cornyn described his relationship with Trump as “maybe like a lot of women who get married and think they’re going to change their spouse, and that doesn’t usually work out very well.”
