U.S. Sen. Bob Corker said Tuesday the exchanges – and criticism – through the media with President Donald Trump were just both men being very direct and it hasn’t affected their relationship.
“I wouldn’t say it was an exchange of blows,” Corker said after speaking in Hendersonville. “I think the president has just come to know me as very direct. I think it’s back to business as usual.”
Corker said since the exchange, he hasn’t spoken to the president directly but has been in usual contact with members of the administration. President Donald Trump lashed out at Corker on Friday on Twitter for comments the Tennessee senator made on Aug. 17.
