President Trump is fighting with Sen. Bob Corker. It all started on Twitter over the weekend.

..my endorsement). He also wanted to be Secretary of State, I said “NO THANKS.” He is also largely responsible for the horrendous Iran Deal!

It’s a shame the White House has become an adult day care center. Someone obviously missed their shift this morning.

It didn’t end there. Corker berated Trump in an interview with the New York Times. He said Trump is treating the presidency as a reality TV show, adding that his tough talk is putting us “on the path to World War III.”
As for the tweets that set off the feud on Sunday morning, Mr. Corker expressed a measure of powerlessness.
“I don’t know why the president tweets out things that are not true,” he said. “You know he does it, everyone knows he does it, but he does.”
He added:
“I don’t think he appreciates that when the president of the United States speaks and says the things that he does, the impact that it has around the world, especially in the region that he’s addressing,” he said. “And so, yeah, it’s concerning to me.”

We don’t need this kind of petty fighting. Now is not the time.
