Trump tried to attack Sen. Bob Corker (R-TN) on Sunday morning, but Corker fired back with nothing less than a total destruction of his own party’s president.
In response to Trump’s lies and insults, Corker tweeted:
It's a shame the White House has become an adult day care center. Someone obviously missed their shift this morning.

The moral of the story is don’t F with Bob Corker. He is retiring and speaking his mind.
Corker wiped the floor with Trump. The President tried to disrespect a United States Senator, and he got his head handed to him. If Corker’s response matches the tone of the feeling for the President among his Republican colleagues, the majority in Congress has no respect for their president. As the old saying goes, respect is something that has to be earned.
Trump has done nothing but disrespect Congress, so it shouldn’t be a shock that the feeling is more than mutual. Donald Trump’s reality television tabloid bluster doesn’t work in Washington.
The President is a joke, but the only surprise is that was Bob Corker who put Trump in his place.
