Outgoing Sen. Bob Corker, R-Tenn., is predictably pissed at the President’s recent antics, pushing the country toward a partial government shutdown that just ten days ago Trump proudly said that he would own. But Corker’s latest remarks about Trump’s endless caprice and obsession with his favorite pundits missed the mark.
“We have two talk-radio show hosts who basically influenced the president, and we’re in a shutdown mode. It’s just — that’s tyranny, isn’t it?” Corker said earlier today. “Do we succumb to tyranny of talk-radio show hosts?”
For one thing, building the border wall wasn’t an idea that came from Ann Coulter. Both the border wall and having Mexico pay for it were Trump’s key campaign promises, and however haphazard this last-ditch attempt is to secure funding for it may be, that in and of itself is not “succumbing” to any outside force.
