Trump claimed that Tennessee Sen. Bob Corker had asked for his endorsement, and then dropped out after being denied.
Corker responded with “the clapback of the year,” according to MSNBC anchor Joy Reid.

After a week where Trump had to refute that his chief diplomat had called him a “moron,” kicking off a new one with a respected GOP Senator calling him a toddler seems like a unlikely way to turn the page.
