President Trump on Sunday reignited his feud with Sen. Bob Corker (R-Tenn.) amid a political standoff that has resulted in a partial governmental shutdown.
After Corker on CNN’s “State of the Union” blamed the shutdown on Trump earlier in the day, the president took to Twitter to claim that Corker is retiring this year because his poll numbers “tanked” when Trump declined to endorse him.
“Senator Bob Corker just stated that, ‘I’m so priveledged [sic] to serve in the Senate for twelve years, and that’s what I told the people of our state that’s what I’d do, serve for two terms,'” Trump tweeted. “But that is Not True – wanted to run but poll numbers TANKED when I wouldn’t endorse him.”
“Bob Corker was responsible for giving us the horrible Iran Nuclear Deal, which I ended, yet he badmouths me for wanting to bring our young people safely back home,” Trump continued.
