The bitter feud between President Trump and Senator Bob Corker (R-TN) has erupted yet again. This time, the barbed exchanges came just hours before President Trump was set to meet GOP lawmakers on Capitol Hill for a working lunch ‘tax summit.’
President Trump tweeted, “Bob Corker, who helped President O give us the bad Iran Deal & couldn’t get elected dog catcher in Tennessee, is now fighting Tax Cuts. Corker dropped out of the race in Tennesse when I refused to endorse him, and now is only negative on anything Trump. Look at his record!”
“Isn’t it sad that lightweight Senator Bob Corker, who couldn’t get re-elected in the Great State of Tennessee, will now fight Tax Cuts plus!”

President Trump’s tweetstorm comes after Corker popped off on ‘Good Morning America,’ doubling down on his statements where he said the U.S. is moving towards “World War III”
“I don’t make comments I haven’t thought about,” the Tennessee senator said in an interview with “Good Morning America.”
Corker was an early Trump ally, endorsing him during the presidential campaign. But Corker has since been wary of how Trump is handling the presidency and, in particular, his treatment of Secretary of State Rex Tillerson.
“When you look at the fact that we’ve got this issue in North Korea and the president continues to kneecap his diplomatic representative, the secretary of state, and really move him away from successful diplomatic negotiations with China, which is key to this, you’re taking us on a path to combat,” Corker told “Good Morning America” today.
He added that when it comes to the diplomatic efforts underway to manage the rising tensions with North Korea, he would like for Trump to “leave it to the professionals for a while.”
“The president undermines our secretary of state [and] raises tensions in the area by virtue of the tweets that he sends out,” Corker said.
