Trump and Sessions
It's an engineered break-up. You know, like when a man wants to ditch a woman so he can move on to greener pastures, but he doesn't want to take responsibility for that. So instead of being hones and telling the woman he wants to end the relationship, he makes her environment so unpleasant that she herself will finally leave. It's the jerk's way out.
And that is what Trump is now doing to Sessions. He is making Sessions' environment toxic with his constant and disingenuous public criticisms of him, hoping Sessions will decide to resign. In that way, Trump thinks he can pull the wool over the eyes of two groups of people .... the conservative voters who still love Sessions, and all those who believe Trump wants Sessions gone so he can replace him with a puppet who will fire special counsel Robert Mueller for him and end the Russia investigation.
But it won't work because Trump is transparent, not in the sense of being honest, but in the sense that everyone can see right through him. Putz.
Trump's strategy -- troll Sessions to get to Mueller

If Jefferson Beauregard Sessions III had any moxie, he would know he is supposed to fall on his sword. Or maybe he has enough moxie to know that if he does he'll never work in this town again.
ReplyDeleteWhat's in it for Ivanka's daddy? If he hires another AG, that one won't be recused and will be able to control the Mueller investigation so that the pudgy guy with the cheap Chinese-made necktie is protected from it.
My God, is that really his name? Why not just have a Confederate flag tattooed on your kid as soon as he's born as name him that. And here I thought he was just a harmless little guy who resembled a Keebler elf.
DeleteJean, Yup, that is his real name. Just as "Mitch's" first name is Addison. Some parents just don't picture their offspring in the Senate. Jeff was born in Selma, Ala., if that rings any bells.
DeleteDo NOT joint JBSessionsIII to the same party with DJTrump if you want to have an enjoyable soiree.
That is his name. I looked it up. Nice to know something still shocks me. I guess.
DeleteExactly. Does he really believe none of us see this coming? Probably he just doesn't care - I think he really does believe that having enough power means you can get away with anything.
ReplyDeleteIt's astonishing how quickly he went Nixon on the presidential immunity thing.
DeleteI'm actually starting to appreciate Nixon a bit in comparison to Trump ;) I just recently found out that it was Nixon who started the Environmental Protection Agency.
DeleteNixon did some good things--cancer research, EPA, China. But Trump HAS MADE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN. Drink the Kool-Aid, Crystal. It will all feel better then.
DeleteAny schmuck who thinks that he can pardon himself is capable of thinking and believing (deluding himself) anything.
ReplyDeleteAgree, Jim :)
ReplyDeleteWhen are all the people that have gone to work for Trump going to realize that that sooner or later they are going to have to quit, or be fired. I guess they didn't watch the apprentice.
ReplyDeleteWhat's depressing is that so many who work for him continue to enable his weird behavior as if all's well.
ReplyDeleteMy guess is that his intimates are used to him and think that this is "normal" behavior in a leader.
DeleteI really think you are on to something re the engineered break-up. I guess I should be proud that anybody who ever broke up with me did it like a man and just told me straight out. Well, except for that lawyer guy, who was afraid I might claim palimony or something. What a maroon.
This is how the ex ended our marriage - I never really understood what had happened until after, when other people told me he was having an affair. It's cowardly.
DeleteCrystal, I think you are right about Trump taking the jerk's way out. I don't have any particular sympathy for Sessions, but I hope he doesn't commit seppuku (politically speaking) because that just rewards Trump for being an ass. Right now I am cheering for anyone who thwarts Trump in any way whatsoever.
ReplyDeleteYeah, you and I are exactly on the same page with this.
DeleteI don't get it either. If you are a glazier or a tiler or a nursery owner, you know that working for Trump means you won't get paid or will have to hire a lawyer to get a fraction of what he contracted to pay. After all this time, I don't see how he can get anyone on Angie's List to bid.
ReplyDeleteLikewise, people who work for him lose either their money or their reputation. Sean Spicer was neither an angry gerbil nor Melissa McCarthy before Trump. I am told that neither was Kellyanne Conway an automaton until she went to work for Trump. Rience Priebus (it anagrams to "I use beer in CPR") probably can't do any better. And Mike Spence has the adoring Nancy Reagan look down cold so he can look at his guy the way she looked at hers. He wasn't going to get re-elected in Indiana. But why would anyone else want to even get close to this pudgy Typhoid Donny?
Yes, Jake Tapper was interviewing Scaramucci and he pointed out that it seemed like he had turned his back on everything he ever believed just so he could be close to power. Is being in the Trump White House really worth one's soul?
