Trump is the Art of the Deal 24/7. According to those principles, you put off making enemies until all hope of making allies is gone.
Trump needs the same people who are hellbent on keeping Sessions in place to cooperate on any and all legislation he wants passed—not to mention the plethora of confirmations the Senate holds in its power. If Trump alienates and antagonizes a swamp that already hates him, he’ll face a hopeless quagmire for the foreseeable future.
As a result, Trump is playing a long game. He periodically undermines Sessions while schmoozing Congress. The time will come when Trump will be able to force Sessions out. It’s just going to take longer than we’d like.
Good post.
