Bob Corker harshly criticized President Donald Trump](http://time.com/4977185/bob-corker-donald-trump-feud-reality-show/) anew on Tuesday, calling him an “utterly untruthful president” and saying he would not support his reelection. Corker, [who is not running for reelection next year](http://time.com/4959983/donald-trump-republican-party-2018/), was responding to tweets from Trump attacking him. The tweets appear to have been prompted by[ Corker’s comments that the White House should “step aside”](http://www.politico.com/story/2017/10/24/bob-corker-trump-tax-feud-244101) and let Congress take the lead on writing upcoming tax legislation. Bob Corker, who helped President O give us the bad Iran Deal & couldn’t get elected dog catcher in Tennessee, is now fighting Tax Cuts,” Trump said in a string of morning Twitter posts. “Corker dropped out of the race in Tennesse \[sic\] when I refused to endorse him, and now is only negative on anything Trump. Look at his record!” > [](https://twitter.com/realDonaldTrump/status/922798321739161600) > [](https://twitter.com/realDonaldTrump/status/922799981874089985) Corker responded by repeating [his earlier criticism](https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/post-politics/wp/2017/10/08/trump-attacks-gop-sen-corker-didnt-have-the-guts-to-run-for-reelection/?utm%5Fterm=.7d995198345f) that the White House is being run like “an adult day care center,” with staff trying to manage the president’s moods. > [](https://twitter.com/SenBobCorker/status/922807083526914049) Trump then went after him again. > [](https://twitter.com/realDonaldTrump/status/922817539251556353) In [an interview with CNN](https://twitter.com/AshleyCodianni/status/922820549600038912), Corker then said that “everything \[Trump\] said today was absolutely untruthful,” but he stopped short of calling Trump a liar. “We grew up in our family not using the l-word, but they’re provable untruths,” he said. “The president has great difficulty with the truth on many issues.” Corker, who [endorsed](http://www.cnn.com/2017/09/15/politics/bob-corker-donald-trump-timeline-relationship/index.html) Trump in 2016, added that he would not support Trump again and said that he is not a role model for children. Trump is scheduled to meet with Republicans on Capitol Hill Tuesday. He recently told party members in a conference call [asking for GOP unity](https://www.nbcnews.com/politics/congress/trump-party-unity-plea-gets-skeptical-reception-some-congress-n813501) that he’s a Republican “inside, out and backwards” and that he’s “for the Republicans.” ```json [{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"NewsArticle","@id":"https://time.com/4994797/bob-corker-donald-trump/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://time.com/4994797/bob-corker-donald-trump/"},"headline":"Bob Corker Says Donald Trump Is an 'Utterly Untruthful President'","datePublished":"2017-10-24T14:03:15.000Z","dateModified":"2026-02-23T17:58:41.838Z","description":"The President and the Tennessee Republican Senator are feuding again","url":"https://time.com/4994797/bob-corker-donald-trump/","keywords":["Donald Trump","republicans","Social Media","Congress","White House","twitter","Bob Corker","onetime"],"thumbnailUrl":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/bltb46033dfe61304bc/6988e10f22fb85ed16e232f9/bob-corker-trump.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","author":[{"@type":"Person","name":"Ryan Teague Beckwith","jobTitle":null,"url":"https://time.com/author/ryan-teague-beckwith/"}],"articleSection":"Politics","image":[{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/bltb46033dfe61304bc/6988e10f22fb85ed16e232f9/bob-corker-trump.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","width":1200,"height":675,"headline":"Bob-Corker-trump","caption":"President Donald Trump leaves after a Hispanic Heritage Month event in the East Room of the White House October 6, 2017 in Washington, DC. ; Senator Bob Corker, a Republican from Tennessee, speaks to the media in the lobby at Trump Tower in New York, U.S., on Tuesday, Nov. 29, 2016 in New York City.","creditText":"John Angelillo—Bloomberg/Getty Images; Brendan Smialowski—AFP/Getty Images","representativeOfPage":true}],"publisher":{"@type":"Organization","name":"Time","url":"https://time.com/","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://time.com/images/logo.png","width":528,"height":156},"foundingDate":"March 3, 1923","sameAs":["https://www.facebook.com/time","https://www.instagram.com/time/?hl=en","https://twitter.com/time","https://www.pinterest.com/timemagazine"]}},{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"item":{"@id":"/section/politics/","name":"Politics"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"item":{"@id":"/tag/donald-trump/","name":"Donald Trump"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":3,"item":{"@id":"https://time.com/4994797/bob-corker-donald-trump/","name":"Bob Corker Says Donald Trump Is an 'Utterly Untruthful President'"}}]}] ```
