Following Trump’s weekend Twitter attacks on Republican Tennessee Senator Bob Corker, the outgoing Senator has launched a counter-attack at the President, describing the White House as an “adult care centre”.
• The Twitter attack
Trump in a series of tweets on Sunday morning said, “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!.. Hence, I would fully expect Corker to be a negative voice and stand in the way of our great agenda. Didn’t have the guts to run!”

• Corker’s epic response
In his own response, Corker wrote in a tweet, “It’s a shame the White House has become an adult day care center. Someone obviously missed their shift this morning”.

• The beginning of the feud
Trump’s attack is predicated on Corker’s comment on last week’s NBC News report which alleged the Secretary of State Rex Tillerson to have described President Trump as a moron. Corker in reference to the report underscored Trump and instead praised his cabinet officials. He told reporters, “I think Secretary Tillerson, Secretary Mattis, and Chief of Staff Kelly are those people that help separate our country from chaos”.
