Tensions on Capitol Hill

The feud between President Donald Trump and Sen. Bob Corker escalated on Tuesday as the President was heading to Capitol Hill for tax negotiations. In an interview, Corker said he would not have backed Trump’s presidential campaign and added that Trump has “great difficulty with the truth.” The two then traded jabs on Twitter when Trump called Corker a “lightweight,” and Corker responded to the “untruths” with #AlertTheDaycareStaff. On a lighter note, GOP Sen. Thom Tillis brought along popcorn to a tax reform lunch with Trump and Corker, where the feud was not discussed.

Adding to the tensions of the day, Arizona Republican Sen. Jeff Flake announced he would not seek re-election in 2018 in a historic, blistering critique of President Trump and the US political climate. He said he would rather retire than embrace Trump. Read Flake’s full speech here.
