Sen. Bob Corker is hitting back against President Donald Trump after a series of Trump tweets attacked the Tennessee Republican.

It's an extraordinary back-and-forth bashing on social media between a Republican president and a senator from his own party.

Here's what Corker is saying: "It's a shame the White House has become an adult day care center. Someone obviously missed their shift this morning."

President Donald Trump on Sunday tore into Corker, taunting the Tennessee Republican — and critic of the president — over his decision to not seek re-election in 2018 with a tweet that charged he "didn't have the guts to run."

In a mini-tweet storm, Trump proclaimed that Corker decided against another run because he didn't get Trump to endorse him — and said he was standing in the way of the administration agenda.

Trump accused Corker of being "largely responsible for the "horrendous" nuclear deal with Iran. But it was the Obama administration that negotiated that agreement.

He doubled down on blaming Corker late Sunday afternoon:
