Trump Swings at 'Liddle' Bob Corker: 'Made to Sound a Fool' After 'Failing' NYT Set Him Up

Source: Mediate

President Trump has reached the inevitable name-calling stage of his feud with Senator Bob Corker.




The president’s tweet is the latest update to his fight with the outgoing GOP senator who questioned his competence and chaotic rhetoric this week. Trump tweeted that Corker supposedly begged him for a re-election campaign endorsement, and Corker returned fire by saying the White House has become an “adult day care center.”

Trump’s new tweet refers to the audio released last night where Corker spoke to The New York Times about how the president is leading America towards World War III. Contrary to Trump’s tweeted claim, Corker’s interview was recorded with his consent, and his team kept a recording for themselves as well.

Corker had 2 aides on line, also recording, and they made sure after it ended that I was taping, too.

He's the one who was outted as being a fool and not trusted by his own party, for excellent reasons. Not one single Repug has repudiated Corker, not one! I think that's just totally amazing. Everyone of them who was asked uniformly said great things about Corker and deliberately refused to say a word about Drumpf. They know he's an existential danger to the entire world, but don't give a shit because he will sign any and all horrible 1% fluffing bills they send his way. Only thing he'd consider vetoing would be making the Jones Act not apply to PR. He will get his jollies by hurting brown people and won't let the legislature get in the way of killing.
