Donald Trump's behaviour could put America on the path to World War III, says top US lawmaker


US Senator Bob Corker also said Trump was behaving as though he was still on the Apprentice, the reality show he hosted for several years. Corker's remarks came in an interview with a leading American newspaper.

Republican US Senator Bob Corker told a leading American daily on Sunday that the threats President Donald Trump has made to other nations could put the US "on the path to World War III."
Corker, an influential voice on US foreign policy, made this grim forecast in an interview with the New York Times (NYT). The newspaper called it "an extraordinary rebuke of a president of his own party."
Donald Trump had earlier posted a series of tweets in which he claimed Corker had "begged" him to endorse his re-election bid in the US state of Tennessee (which he represents as a Senator), and that he left the race when the President refused.
He said Corker wanted to be Secretary of State, and accused the senator of being responsible for "the horrendous Iran Deal" - a 2015 agreement that limited Tehran's nuclear program, which Trump has now threatened to decertify.

"...Hence, I would fully expect Corker to be a negative voice and stand in the way of our great agenda. Didn't have the guts to run!" he wrote in the last tweet.
Bob Corker told NYT that Trump was behaving "like he's doing 'The Apprentice' or something," referring to a reality show that Trump hosted for many years.
"I know for a fact that every single day at the White House, it's a situation of trying to contain him," Corker told the newspaper.
The senator, who in the interview refuted the President's claims that he'd asked for his endorsement, also hit back on Twitter.
Bob Corker heads the powerful US Senate Committee on Foreign Relations. He is a supporter-turned-critic of Donald Trump - especially of his handling of issues like the North Korean nuclear crisis, or the changes he's trying to make to the US tax regime.

Las Vegas shooting: FBI, cops seek help in uncovering gunman Stephen Paddock's motive After five days of scouring the life of Las Vegas gunman Stephen Paddock and chasing 1,000 leads, investigators confessed Friday they still don't know what drove him to mass murder, and they announced plans to put up billboards appealing for the public's help. Investigators have examined Paddock's politics, his finances, any possible radicalization and his social behavior - typical investigative avenues that have helped uncover the motive in past shootings. "We still do not have a clear motive or reason why," Clark County Undersheriff Kevin McMahill said. "We have looked at literally everything." The FBI announced that billboards would go up around the city asking anyone with information to phone 800-CALL-FBI. "If you know something, say something," said Aaron Rouse, agent in charge of the Las Vegas FBI office. &qu
