Sen. Bob Corker (R-Tenn.) fired back at President Trump after his criticism on Sunday, calling Trump’s White House “an adult day care center.”
“It's a shame the White House has become an adult day care center,” Corker said. “Someone obviously missed their shift this morning.”
Trump attacked Corker in a series of tweets Sunday morning, saying Corker was retiring from the Senate after he “begged” Trump for an endorsement and Trump refused.
Corker "didn't have the guts to run," Trump tweeted.
"Senator Bob Corker 'begged' me to endorse him for re-election in Tennessee. I said 'NO' and he dropped out (said he could not win without my endorsement). He also wanted to be Secretary of State, I said 'NO THANKS.' He is also largely responsible for the horrendous Iran Deal!" Trump tweeted.
Trump then said he “fully expect[s]” Corker to “be a negative voice” and “stand in the way of our great agenda.”
Corker, the chairman of the Senate Foreign Relations committee, announced in September he wouldn’t seek re-election in 2018, becoming the first senator to do so. He has been increasingly critical of Trump's administration, although during Trump's campaign he was briefly considered as vice president.
The Tennessee Republican said Wednesday that Secretary of State Rex Tillerson, Secretary of Defense James Mattis and White House chief of staff John Kelly are keeping the US from “chaos.”
Corker said the three men “work well together to make sure that the policies that we put forth around the world are sound and coherent." He added, “I hope they stay.”
White House press secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders fired back Trump is "the one that's keeping the world from chaos."
"I think the president is the one that's keeping the world from chaos," Sanders said Friday. "He has an incredible team around him that's helping him lead that effort, and he's had tremendous accomplishments on the international stage by working with allies and confronting enemies."

So what? The geezerdom of the Senate makes it resemble a care facility for people with Alzheimers. I worry sometimes that one of those old goats will die in their Senate offices and won't be discovered for days or weeks or months. No one would miss them anyway.
And Corker is a prize asshole anyway. He was the one who led the GOP down the garden path to certify the Iran deal. Maybe Corker should be held responsible for that gross dereliction of duty and stop pointing fingers at Trump who is trying to deal with dumbass Corker's complicity with 0bama/Shitlery's disastrous and one-sided Iran deal.

at last the Truth is out, Trump is receiving the care he deserves, but this idea that he is keeping the world from chaos is ridiculous. If Kim didn't exist Trump would have to invent him. Iran is abiding by the treaty and yet Trump rants against them, but not a word about Putin and his displays of military power
