      CORKER rails on “cult-like” GOP, directing ire at GOP leadership for not wanting to take on Trump on core issues like trade: “We have an administration that wakes up everyday on an hoc basis, just making stuff up with no coherency to it,” he told us, pushing for his tariff plan

      “We’re in a strange place. It’s becoming a cultish thing, isn’t it? ... It’s not a good place for any party to have a cult-like situation as it relates to a president that happens to be purportedly of the same party,” Corker says

          Corker makes clear his ire is directed at GOP leaders more than rank-and-file. Asked him: You feel like it’s a cult-like situation in your party right now? “Leadership in general not wishing to poke the bear, absolutely, I mean because you know its all about the next election”

          The Senate Foreign Relations chairman doesn't know if he can trust what the president is saying about NK. On Trump saying he'll suspend 'war games:' "I don’t even know again if that’s real .. there's a lot of ad hoc comments that get made that end up not being reality."

          Corker on August recess: "There’s no question that leadership in general is weary of doing anything that might upset the president ... We’re going to be here during recess generally speaking which is fine with me but it's more about trump being upset than it is anything else."

          You should Tweet that at Corker. GOP has turned into the party of Trumps First not America First.

          That's what I've been calling it. Cult of Trump. His supporters are his followers. They have been easily brainwashed, they are now against American Values.

          Fat chance that will happen in the current political environment in the U.S. It’s almost as if the Republicans are being held hostage by the cult leader.

          It is a cult. The Republican Party no longer exists, it’s the party of Trump now. Over 150 years of history, the party they began on an anti-slavery platform and gave America Lincoln. Hell of a fall @GOP

          The real 'constitutional vandalism' is irreversibly altering Britain's EU status based on a systemically flawed Brexit vote won with well-documented cases of (1) illegal money, (2) data crimes and (3) Russian involvement. Apparently British democracy has no standards anymore. https://twitter.com/jacob_rees_mogg/status/1006553310369927168 …
