Corker didn't beg for Trump's endorsement: Trump offered Corker an endorsement.




Source familiar says claims made in Trump’s tweets about Corker “are false.”

“The president called the senator early last week and asked him to reconsider his decision not to seek reelection and reaffirmed that he would have endorsed him, as he has said many times.”



Corker’s Chief of Staff to me just now: “Last week President Trump called Senator Corker and asked him to reconsider his decision not to seek reelection and said I would have endorsed you.”

That is Trump's mind-set: No matter what happens, he thinks that he's doing you a favor and that you owe him.


Trump once refused to pay a caterer with exactly this argument: "You catering for me is publicity for you. I'm doing you a favor and I'm not paying when I do somebody a favor."

It is likely a staffer recorded the call.
