President Trump is taking on another RINO in what may be his most heated feud with the establishment GOP “swamp” ever.
President Trump and Senate Foreign Relations Committee chief Sen. Bob Corker (R-TN) are escalating their feud in print and on social media.
The POTUS mocked Corker for not having the guts to run for re-election in Tennessee after seeing the anti-establishment GOP wave brought on by Trump’s election.
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 reply on Twitter was not a denial of any of Trump’s claims. Almost as if he were a Democrat, the senator simply sneered that the President needs “adult day care.”
More from Breitbart:
Corker had announced his plans to retire from the U.S. Senate just hours before Alabama Republican primary runoff voters on Sept. 26 rejected establishment-backed appointed Sen. Luther Strange and elected conservative Judge Roy Moore.
Corker, who was particularly close with Strange and helped convince Trump to endorse and then campaign for Strange, was entangled in various financial and corruption investigations that connected to Strange and other establishment Republicans in Washington–including a suspect real estate tax deal in Mobile, Alabama, uncovered by Breitbart News’ Michael Patrick Leahy.
Corker’s planned retirement sent the Senate GOP conference, including embattled Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, into a tailspin. McConnell faces a cadre of candidates in other races in GOP primaries nationally aligned against him and his group of weak incumbents and establishment-propped-up candidates in some open primaries–a sign his source of power, his members, are losing their grip.
