Bob Corker Says Trump’s Recklessness Threatens ‘World War III
The New York Slimes ^ | October 8, 2017 | Jonathan Martin and Mark Landler

Posted on 10/08/2017 6:41:00 PM PDT by E. Pluribus Unum

WASHINGTON — Senator Bob Corker, the Republican chairman of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, charged in an interview on Sunday that President Trump was treating his office like “a reality show,” with reckless threats toward other countries that could set the nation “on the path to World War III.”

In an extraordinary rebuke of a president of his own party, Mr. Corker said he was alarmed about a president who acts “like he’s doing ‘The Apprentice’ or something.”

“He concerns me,” Mr. Corker added. “He would have to concern anyone who cares about our nation.”

Mr. Corker’s comments capped a remarkable day of sulfurous insults between the president and the Tennessee senator — a powerful, if lame-duck, lawmaker, whose support will be critical to the president on tax reform and the fate of the Iran nuclear deal.

In all seriousness I haven’t seen any recklessness. Gets along with China and better with Russia than the dems and McCain want. So where is it?

Irked appears to be a corrupt RINO - most RINOs we definitely need to get out of our government. As for trump being reckless, he inherited at least three major threats - Iran. North Korea. ( both threatening to nuke, destroy USA). And HilLIARy - obozo seriously ruined our relations with Russia too. I’m willing to give president Trump some room to try to see if he can disarm Iran and north K, and get better rapport restored with Russia if possible. It isn’t gonna be easy and we certainly haven’t seen corker solve anything

Corker has been totally destroyed by MAGA. He is a bitter and ashamed man. He would allow the maniac to murder millions of Americans and say nothing.He was 100% exposed as a K street whore where they funneled money to him using tax abatement on his shopping center. I really believe he should be indicted for bribery , Where is Jeff Sessions? Any body see the old man?

This could work to President Trump’s favor, in that even the Senate believes President Trump is so crazy that he will start a world war over the North Koreans possession of nuclear tipped ICBMs, the Chinese should become more fearful and make the NKs terminate and destroy their weapons programs. Or the NKs will launch their own sneak attack, giving the US a free hand to level the Norks.

This the same Corker who made sure the Iran deal didn’t need 2/3 senate treaty approval?
He’s just another never Trumper ass.

I wonder if Corker, McCain plus one would be capable of trying to blow the Administration up by switching parties and turning the Senate over to the Rats?

He knows this because John McCain told him.
Corker is a follower and does what he is told.

The People have now told him to retire

"Where is Jeff Sessions? Any body see the old man?"

Sessions is avoiding doing his duty.
Those are all his "distinguished" colleagues and friends
in the Senate. He'll never touch them.
We now see that it's important that critical government
offices like the AG never be filled with people from Congress. All of the Department Heads, especially the
AG, should come from outside the government.

It's great that Trump is doing this. And it's even greater that these Chicken Littles are running around screaming about how dangerous he is. It's the best possible strategy for scaring the cr*p out of the Norks, Chi-Coms, Russians, and Moslems.

In the world of diplomacy communication is so nuanced that one has to guess what is being said.

In the world of business the object is to communicate in the most straightforward way possible to make sure everyone understands.

politician/diplomat types are in a panic because Trump says what we means out loud in plain English.

First up was incumbent Senator Bob Corker (R-TN), who made a surprise announcement on September 26 he would not run for re-election, one day after a Breitbart News report about his sweetheart deal in an Alabama retail center development in which Alabama taxpayers are set to pay him more than $3 million over 20 years in sales tax incentive rebates. Though his announcement that he would not seek re-election was couched in terms that claimed it had been made “[a]fter much thought, consideration and family discussion over the past year,” its suddenness–and the fact that Corker felt compelled to offer a lame and incomplete explanation for his investment in a deal that epitomizes the swamp in which the political elite thrive–underscores the potency of the Breitbart News report.
