1. On Trump not taking the presidency seriously: Corker said that Trump was treating the presidency like "a reality show" and could put us "on the path to World War III." He also said Trump acts "like he's doing The Apprentice or something." The really damning part though? "I don't think he appreciates that when the president of the United States speaks and says the things that he does, the impact that it has around the world, especially in the region that he's addressing."
2. On Trump's stability: "He concerns me. He would have to concern anyone who cares about our nation." And it's not just Corker, either: it's the majority of those in his party. "Look, except for a few people, the vast majority of our caucus understands what we're dealing with here. Of course they understand the volatility that we're dealing with and the tremendous amount of work that it takes by people around him to keep him in the middle of the road."
3. On Trump's White House being an "adult day care center": "I know for a fact that every single day at the White House, it's a situation of trying to contain him." He has faith in those around Trump, though, as he said, "As long as there are people like that around him who are able to talk him down when he gets spun up, you know, calm him down and continue to work with him before a decision gets made, I think we'll be fine."
4. On Trump's Twitter habit and its affect on diplomacy: "A lot of people think that there is some kind of 'good cop, bad cop' act underway, but that's just not true," Corker said, later adding, "I know he has hurt, in several instances, he's hurt us as it relates to negotiations that were underway by tweeting things out."
5. On Trump being the actual source of fake news and false facts: "I don't know why the president tweets out things that are not true. You know he does it, everyone knows he does it, but he does."
6. On Trump's Oct. 8 accusations and the truth of the matter: "When I told him that that just wasn't in the cards, he said, 'You know, if you run, I'll endorse you.' I said, 'Mr. President, it's just not in the cards; I've already made a decision.' So then we began talking about other candidates that were running."

Yesterday in the Rose Garden, in front of a crowd and cameras, Trump bald-faced LIED about whether or not President Obama ever called survivors of those military killed in action. Pathetically, Trump said he has written letters, "but they haven't been mailed yet", 4 days after the deaths were reported. In the meantime, Trump played golf 5 times.
