Speaking with New Day host Alisyn Camerota, departing Senator Bob Corker (R-TN) laughed at the idea of President Donald Trump running for re-election in 2020, and made fun of the mere $4 million Trump has raised, calling it a "speck of sand in the ocean."
Responding to questions about Trump's prospects, Corker was non-committal about his own support for the president who is plummeting in the polls.
"Do you support today President Trump running for reelection?" Camerota bluntly asked.
"Well, look, who knows whether the president is even going to run," Corker demurred.
"He's announced he's going to run," Camerota shot back.
"Well now, CNN is sure not taking at face value anything that comes out of the White House all of the sudden," Corker joked.
A laughing Camerota asked, "Shouldn't we test the president when he says he's running for re-election?"
"I have no idea whether the president is running for re-election nor what the field will be like in 2020," replied. "So I think it way too early to weigh in on whom one might support."
"Are you sure he's not going to run?" the CNN host pressed. "He's raised $4 million."
"Well, $4 million is a speck of sand in the ocean as it related to these kind of things," Corker explained.
