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.
