President Trump launched one of his most ferocious broadsides to date against Attorney General Jeff Sessions in an interview with The Hill.

Said Trump: “I don’t have an Attorney General. It’s very sad.” He added: “I’m so sad over Jeff Sessions because he came to me. He was the first Senator that endorsed me. And he wanted to be Attorney General, and I didn’t see it. And then he went through the nominating process and he did very poorly. I mean, he was mixed up and confused.”

However, Trump wouldn’t say if he might fire Sessions: “We’ll see what happens. A lot of people have asked me to do that. And I guess I study history, and I say I just want to leave things alone, but it was very unfair what he did. And my worst enemies, I mean, people that, you know, are on the other side of me, in a lot of ways including politically, have said that was a very unfair thing he did.”

He concluded: “We’ll see how it goes with Jeff. I’m very disappointed in Jeff. Very disappointed.”

[SHRED]

1. He is clueless

Thinks Sessions is his personal attorney.

[Progressive Jones]

34. Clueless, but so much smarter than any of his drooling fans. nt

[pangaia]

2. Once again proving himself insane

[riversedge]

15. Trum wiggled out his straight jacket. He has been somewhat restrained

these last few days.

[dem4decades]

3. Come on Bobby 3 sticks. I know you're doing great but

We need more. Now.

[bucolic_frolic]

4. Trump is going to throttle up his delusions all the way to election day

Do we have a surprise for him?

[madaboutharry]

5. I don't believe this:

"And my worst enemies, I mean, people that, you know, are on the other side of me, in a lot of ways including politically, have said that was a very unfair thing he did.”

Trump sees "people on the other side" are the democrats and he sees them as "his enemies." It is clear that he sees half the country as "his enemies."

Also, is there a single person who is "his enemy" who is telling him that Sessions has been "very unfair" to Trump? It's another lie.

[dalton99a]

6. +1

[FM123]

7. I don't believe it either. He is always making up imaginary people that say one thing or another...

[LiberalLovinLug]

24. I agree. Another thing I unpacked

"However, Trump wouldn’t say if he might fire Sessions: “We’ll see what happens. A lot of people have asked me to do that. And I guess I study history, and I say I just want to leave things alone, but it was very unfair what he did"

He is speaking the exact opposite of reality here. "A lot of people" have asked him to fire Sessions? No. He wants to fire Sessions. The "lot of other people" around him are telling him that he can't, or it would be worse for him. Its they that are pushing him to "leave things alone".

[TheCowsCameHome]

8. Nice to see everything going smoothly in the Trump WH.

[oberliner]

9. Finally something we can agree with Trump on - Jeff Sessions is awful

[left-of-center2012]

10. If he hates Sessions so much ...

Does Trump not have the guts to say "You're fired!" ???

He even could do it in a Tweet,
while Sessions is out of town.

Hasn't that been his style?

[COLGATE4]

19. His problem is that, at least up to now

the Rethug leadership in the Senate has told him they won't confirm Session's replacement. They're at a standoff. But if one of the Senators (think initials L.G.) were to want to become his new A.G. then it would be a different story. Look for that change to happen after the mid=term elections.

[leftyladyfrommo]

20. Jeff Sessions said he looks at Twitter every morning

to see if he still has a job.

[Racerdog1]

11. Clueless fucking moron

Need I say more?

[SWBTATTReg]

12. And the cabinet and Congress won't do anything w/ this chronic liar...what truly happens ...

should something serious go wrong? I mean seriously. Are we going to let these people actually let the country go to ruin because of these proven over and over again many times liar and incompetent?

We need to seriously think about protecting our country and what's ours. A big step can be taken Nov. 2018 by voting. Don't add to this mess by voting for these so called 'nice' republicans who attempt to avoid being lumped together w/ rump. Josh Hawley in Missouri is like this. Coward.

Continue to ignore rump, his cronies, and his stupid moronic utterings. If anything, issue rump a big made up award of the year called 'Moron of the year', w/ cameras etc. rump the narcissist should fall for this so easily.

[tymorial]

13. Any Babylon 5 fans here?

Whenever I read Trumps ramblings I see Cartagia talking to his "heads" advisors.

[cstanleytech]

14. Yes, I'm a fan however Trump is actually not insane like Cartagia

but rather he is like Mollari and willing to do horrible things under some delusion that the country is weak and that what he is doing will make it stronger.

[PubliusEnigma]

16. Lotso Trump is never going to see it coming when Big Baby Sessions throws him into the dumpster

[leftyladyfrommo]

21. I think that, too.

I don't care for Sessions but I have to admire the way he is playing Trump.

[Nitram]

17. Excellent. Lambasting Sessions is Dump's only release when the pressure from the investigation

gets too intense for him to handle. I see steam being released from his ears. And, as usual, the dumpster is making another very stupid mistake. First he dissed the FBI, CIA, NSA, et al, and now he's dissing the Attorney General. Not "his" Attorney General any more.

[chwaliszewski]

18. Trump doesn't have an AG, the country does!

We don't have a real POTUS, though...just a POS.

[laserhaas]

22. Exactly!

On both statements - you're 'Spot On'.

[Scruffy1]

23. I think it's all theater.

The whole purpose is to make it look like Sessions is actually not on his side an independent. His history speaks otherwise. We don't have an attorney general at this time. We haqve an old racist partisan hack from Alabama.

[ck4829]

25. Kick

[ginnyinWI]

26. Yeah because Sessions is following the law, the ingrate! lol . nt

[2naSalit]

27. "And I guess I study history..."

Oh dear, this is going to be a long day.

[Adsos Letter]

28. The article is dated September 19. n/t

[Floyd R. Turbo]

29. Why LBN?

[jcgoldie]

30. What a bunch of nonsense

I'm no Sessions fan but which of his enemies has ever criticized Sessions for somehow being unfair to Trump... complete drivel as usual.

[SammyWinstonJack]

31. Holy sh!t, but he's dumb.

[LudwigPastorius]

32. ...a lot of people are saying...

A lot of people are saying that Donald Trump is a narcissistic, proto-fascist, racist piece of shit.

....except, in this case, they are actual people, and they are right.

[davekriss]

33. If the R's steal the House tonight, Sessions will be fired tomorrow

And Mueller will be gone soon afterward.

[area51]

35. Wah.
