Made up fight

And just think, all you simple minds fall for it.

Sen. Bob Corker (R-Tenn.) accused President Donald Trump of manufacturing a government shutdown to please his core supporters, after promising to construct a wall on the southern U.S. border that Mexico would pay for.

“This is a made-up fight so the president can look like he’s fighting, but even if he wins, our borders are going to be insecure,” Corker, who is retiring at the end of the year, said Sunday in an interview on CNN’s “State of the Union.”

Critical coverage by conservative radio talk show hosts Rush Limbaugh and Ann Coulter appeared to have pushed Trump toward favoring a veto, however. Coulter warned at one point that Trump’s administration could become a “joke presidency who scammed the American people” if he wasn’t able to get the wall built and said she wouldn’t vote for him in 2020 if he didn’t.

During a hallway interview on Capitol Hill, a perplexed Corker, the Senate Foreign Relations Committee chairman, lamented that Trump is being controlled by the opinions of talk-radio hosts, equating their influence over the last 24 hours to “tyranny.”

“We have two talk radio hosts who influenced the president,” Corker told CNN. “That’s tyranny, isn’t it?”
