Bob Corker’s Powerful Words About Donald Trump

By John Cassidy @ NewYorker.com, 6:18 pm

[....] there is also something serious and consequential going on here, something that goes beyond the daily Twitter wars. Corker, liberated by his decision not to seek reëlection in 2018, is breaking the vow of pettifogging that most Republican leaders have adhered to in talking about this rogue President [....]

On Tuesday morning, Corker made the rounds on the morning talk shows [...]

On NBC’s “Today” show, Savannah Guthrie put Corker on the spot, asking, “Left to his own devices, do you think the President is a threat to national security? Corker replied, “I think there are people around him who work in an effort to contain him.” After Guthrie pointed out that Corker seemed to be accepting the premise of her question, he once again referred to Tillerson’s diplomatic efforts, saying, “When you kneecap that effort, you really move our country into binary choice, which could lead to a world war.”

Corker also suggested that the President should stay out of the process of writing the tax-reform bill that Republicans are hoping to get through Congress soon. Evidently, Trump was watching. At 8:13 A.M., Trump said, in a pair of tweets [....]

At about nine-thirty, as he was walking the corridors on Capitol Hill, Corker gave another interview, to CNN’s Manu Raju, who began by asking about Trump’s tweets.

“Nothing that he said in his tweets today were truthful or accurate,” Corker said. “He knows it, and people around him know it. I would hope the staff over there would figure out ways of controlling him. . . . We grew up in our family not using the ‘L’ word. But they are provable untruths. Provable.” After pointing out the roles he has played on the Iran issue and tax reform, Corker went on. “Unfortunately, I think world leaders are aware that much of what he says is untrue. Certainly, people here are, because these things are provably untrue. They are just factually incorrect, and people know the difference. So I don’t know why he lowers himself to such a low, low standard, and debases our country in the way that he does, but he does. . . . It’s unfortunate that our nation finds itself in this place.”

The rest of the interview is best read in full [....]

Ok, just like Sally Field with the Academy, he imagines they like him, they really really like him:
