"CNN)Sen. Bob Corker's questioning of the President's competence Thursday is the starkest signal yet that Republican senators are returning fire in the public and pointed battle Donald Trump has waged with members of his own party.

And Trump's tweets Thursday signal that the President has no intention of changing his tact.
