Of course he did.

Trump said on Saturday he had a good relationship with Secretary of State Rex Tillerson but that Tillerson could be tougher.

Trump, who made the comment to reporters at the White House, did not elaborate.

“Tougher” in Trumpspeak of course means a more heedless psychotic bully. Yes that’s just what we need more of.

Trump being tough this morning.

The scare quotes on “begged” are helpful. Corker didn’t really beg, Trump is just lying about it for effect. Thanks for the tip-off.

Yeah I don’t think that happened either.

Corker responded.

    Ooh, when somebody explains Corker’s remark to Trump he is gonna be SO MAD.

    From the Washington Post:

    Todd Womack, Corker’s chief of staff, disputed each of the claims the president made in his tweets. Trump called Corker early last week and asked him to reconsider his decision not to seek reelection, according to Womack. He said the president also reaffirmed that he would have endorsed Corker had he decided to run again — which, Womack added, was not the first time that Trump had extended such an offer of support.

    So you can believe a normal, sane guy, who holds a position of responsibility and no doubt does it adequately, or you can believe Trump. It’s a coin-toss what Trump believes, of course.

    So a bit of digging turned up Corker’s name on the list of Senators who endorsed Trump for President. Reap what you sow….
