Summary: Senator Bob Corker, who engaged in a public feud with President Donald Trump over the weekend, said Trump is setting the country "on the path to World War III." Trump is a president who is acting "like he's doing 'The Apprentice' or something," the Tennessee Republican said in an interview with The New York Times that was published Sunday night. "He concerns me," Corker added. "He would said Trump is setting the country "on the path to World War III." "He concerns me," Corker added. "He would have to concern anyone who cares about our nation."
Analysis: The newspaper did not expand on the "World War III" comments beyond mentioning the quote in the first paragraph of the story. Trump and Corker, who is not running for re-election in 2018, launched into a Twitter spat Sunday morning in a major public falling out, making the Tennessean the latest senior Republican lawmaker to openly criticize Trump over his statements online and off. At one point in his series of tweets attacking Corker, Trump said he rejected the senator's request for an endorsement -- a claim denied by Corker's chief of staff, Todd Womack, later in the day. "I don't know why the President tweets out things that are not true," Corker said. "You know he does it, everyone knows he does it, but he does." Corker, who is close to Secretary of State Rex Tillerson, mentioned comments Trump made on Twitter last weekend when he appeared to undercut negotiations Tillerson is making with North Korea.
