What Trump and His Rivals Have Said About Each Other

Donald Trump is the last Republican candidate standing and his party's presumptive presidential nominee.

And among the prominent Republicans weighing in on his new status are some of his former 2016 rivals -- some of whom have embraced him, some who've rejected him and a few for whom the jury is still out.

Here's a look at what Trump and his rivals have said about each other before and after he vanquished them:

Ted CruzThis Tuesday's Indiana primary started with mudslinging between Trump and Ted Cruz. It ended with Cruz suspending his campaign.

In an interview with "Fox and Friends" on Tuesday, Trump accused Cruz's father, Rafael, of having ties to the man responsible for John F. Kennedy's assassination, Lee Harvey Oswald, and pointed to a now-debunked National Enquirer tabloid article.

Later that day, Cruz let the world know what he really thinks about Trump.

"This man is a pathological liar," Cruz told reporters traveling with him to Evansville, Indiana, adding later, "The man cannot tell the truth, but he combines it with being a narcissist."

After Trump won Indiana and Cruz called it quits, Trump praised Cruz as "one hell of a competitor."

"He's a tough, smart guy. And he has got an amazing future," Trump said to his supporters at Trump Tower Tuesday night.

Cruz has yet to weigh in on Trump now that he is the presumptive nominee.

Marco RubioAfter being repeatedly mocked by the real estate mogul throughout his campaign, Florida Sen. Marco Rubio finally decided to give Trump a taste of his own medicine in February, calling Trump a "con artist" and mocking the spelling mistakes in Trump's tweets.

Rubio suggested Trump had a meltdown during one of the GOP debates. "He wanted a full-length mirror. Maybe to make sure his pants weren't wet. I don't know," Rubio said Feb. 26 at a campaign rally in Dallas, Texas.

Rubio dropped out of the 2016 race following his loss in the Florida primary on March 15. Trump then changed his tune on the man he had once preferred to call "Little Marco."

"He's tough, he's smart and he's got a great future," Trump said of Rubio at his press conference in Palm Beach the night of the Florida primary.

Rubio has not explicitly said he would support Trump, though he has reiterated he would support the GOP nominee. According to the Palm Beach Post, Rubio said last Friday Trump's "performance has improved significantly" over the weeks. And this week Trump said he is considering Rubio as a potential running mate.

"We've had really nice conversations," Trump said in an interview with Fox News Thursday. "Not necessarily about that. We always had a very good relationship, Marco and I."

Jeb BushEarlier in the primary season, Trump dubbed former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush -- once a favorite to win the nomination -- "low energy." It was an attack line that stuck, and one Trump went on to use repeatedly on the campaign trail.

Following a disappointing loss in the South Carolina primary, Bush suspended his presidential bid for the Republican nomination.

Bush endorsed Ted Cruz for president March 23, writing on Facebook that "for the sake of our party and country, we must overcome the divisiveness and vulgarity Donald Trump has brought into the political arena."

With Cruz out, Bush congratulated Trump on being the presumptive nominee, but added that he cannot support him in a Facebook post today.

"Donald Trump has not demonstrated that temperament or strength of character," Bush wrote. "He has not displayed a respect for the Constitution. And, he is not a consistent conservative. These are all reasons why I cannot support his candidacy."

Rick PerryFormer Texas Gov. Rick Perry was the first GOP candidate out of the race, and he was also among the first to criticize Trump vocally.

On "This Week" Perry said he was "offended" by Trump's remarks in his presidential announcement speech, in which he called Mexican immigrants "rapists."

During a speech in Washington, D.C., last July, Perry called Trump's candidacy a "cancer on conservatism" and "a toxic mix demagoguery and mean-spiritedness and nonsense that will lead the Republican Party to perdition if pursued."

Trump hit back on Twitter: "Rick Perry failed at the border. Now he is critical of me. He needs a new pair of glasses to see the crimes committed by illegal immigrants."

Perry ended his bid for the White House Sept. 11, 2015, and now the two seem simpatico.

Perry said on CNN he would do everything he could to help Trump win.

"He is not a perfect man," Perry said on CNN today. "But what I do believe is that he loves this country and he will surround himself with capable, experienced people and he will listen to them."

Chris ChristieBefore joining the Trump team, New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie wasn't exactly the Donald's no. 1 fan.

While Christie was still in the race for the White House, he would constantly throw jabs at his rival. When asked to explain the appeal of Trump, he mocked the real estate mogul, but deemed him a "generous guy."

"Chris Christie is a friend of mine, he has no chance. Zero," Trump said when discussing Christie being allowed on the debate stage during a campaign stop in New Hampshire.

Christie suspended his presidential campaign after finishing sixth in the New Hampshire primary. He announced he was supporting his former rival less than a month later.

Trump called the New Jersey governor a "friend for many years," and acknowledged Christie's talent: "He has been a spectacular governor."

Carly Fiorina Carly Fiorina and Trump got off to a rocky start. The two went head-to-head early on in the presidential race after a Rolling Stone cover interview quoted Trump mocking Fiorina's physical appearance.

"Look at that face!" Trump was quoted as saying. "Would anyone vote for that? Can you imagine that, the face of our next president?!"

The former CEO of Hewlett-Packard didn't back down, and slammed Trump at the second GOP debate in Simi Valley, California.

"Women all over this country heard very clearly what Mr. Trump said," she fired back last September. Trump responded by saying "she's got a beautiful face and she's a beautiful woman."

Fiorina suspended her presidential campaign in February and endorsed Cruz in March, who later announced Fiorina as his vice presidential pick.

Trump didn't waste any time, quipping: "Cruz can't win," Trump told his supporters. "What's he doing picking vice presidents?"

Like Cruz, Fiorina has yet to weigh in on Trump as the party's presumptive nominee.
