“Jeff has been a highly respected member of the U.S. Senate for 20 years.”

“He is a world-class legal mind and considered a truly great Attorney General and US Attorney in the state of Alabama. Jeff is greatly admired by legal scholars and virtually everyone who knows him.”

On Sessions as VP, Press Conference, May 31, 2016:
TRUMP: Jeff Sessions is a fantastic man. Jeff Sessions is one of the most highly respected people in the United States Senate. Jeff Sessions is a person that I believe that Ted Cruz has the most respect for and I think Ted thought he would get an endorsement. You know, Jeff Sessions has never endorsed a presidential candidate before, as many years as he’s been in the Senate. So, you know, Jeff Sessions certainly is somebody that I would consider, absolutely. He’s a fantastic person.”

Of course, once Sessions said he would recuse, Trump should have withdrawn the nomination. Trump later claimed Sessions was his worst pick (of many that Trump said were bad picks he made). But Trump not only did NOT pull the nomination, he kept Sessions for 2 years, even while attacking him constantly.

Trump was President, and could ask for Session’s resignation at any time, and he had a Republican Senate so he could get almost anybody he wanted through the nomination process.

Trump picked TWO attorney Generals in his term of office; Jeff Sessions, and William Barr.

But they were only two of the many appointments that Trump now says were bad.

For example, in Today’s news, we have another of Trump’s many appointees:

Brig. Gen. Deanna Burt, the director of operations and communications for the U.S. Space Force.

Anyway, I’m not sure how it makes a better argument for Trump as President to argue that he actually thought at the time he made all his nominations that his nominees were bad choices. Is it really better that he purposely picks bad people for reasons out of his control, than to admit he is just really bad at picking people?

You are missing the forest for the trees. Fighting the Deep State and advancing the MAGA agenda is very, very hard work. When you look at the battles fought, of course President Trump makes other men look like dwarves. There's a reason millions go to see him speak. You're not going to find others to match his "quality" so you better get used to the drop-off.

It’s an example of poor judgment.

. I look forward to hearing from President Trump what he will do during a second term as he campaigns during the primaries and during debates.
