When it comes to his frequent insults of Attorney General Jeff Sessions, President Trump comes across as weak and indecisive. Illustrating as much is Trump’s new statement to Hill.tv that “I don’t have an attorney general, it’s very sad.”
First off, the statement is very silly. Trump obviously does have an attorney general: the guy that Trump himself picked. But Trump also has authority to fire Sessions should he so desire. So for Trump to indict Sessions on Twitter but not in a formal relief of Sessions, makes Trump look weak.
