Sen. Bob Corker (R-Tenn.), one of President Trump’s most vocal Republican critics on Capitol Hill, said Tuesday that the White House should step aside and let Congress decide the terms for tax reform, prompting Trump to insult him on Twitter.
“I would recommend that based on recent history and just interactions,” Corker said on the Today Show, when asked if Trump should “leave well enough alone” on the tax debate. “I think that’s the best way for us to have success.”
The comment came ahead of Trump’s visit to Capitol Hill Tuesday for his first visit as president to Republican senators’ weekly policy luncheon.
Trump returned fire an hour later, escalating his recent feud with Corker.
“Bob Corker, who helped President O give us the bad Iran Deal & couldn’t get elected dog catcher in Tennessee, is now fighting Tax Cuts,” the president tweeted.

Call your Senator about Corker!
There will be no tax cuts...bet on it..Maybe 2019
Super perfecto.
Who marker Corker the speaker for the people? Trump was nationally elected. Corker wasn’t. That makes Trump far more essential to national politics than Corker.
“Bob Corker, who helped President O give us the bad Iran Deal & couldn’t get elected dog catcher in Tennessee, is now fighting Tax Cuts,”
Amazing!
Why? The probably agree with him.
Good news for Steve Bannon and #MAGA!
It’s amazing! When Trump didn’t produce his own, personal healthcare plan, he was called a fool. Now he produces a tax plan...and he’s a fool.
So the White House should “step aside” and allow the useless do nothing Congress to continue to do nothing?
Wow. Looks like Corker wants to challenge McCain for the honor of being the biggest asshole in the Senate (sorry, Bob... not even close).
POS is my senator, know all to well how much scandals he has been in. 1.5 pages on google search.
It’s called leadership, Bung Cork
Produced a tax plan where?
"Trump’s tweets mischaracterized the senator’s Iran record and the back-and-forth surrounding Corker’s decision to retire after 2018. Corker and his top aide have said Trump offered his support for the senator’s reelection and that after Corker announced he would retire, Trump called asking him to reconsider and to run again."
Corker is a corrupt eGOP just like McInsane.
