***3. While this was all going on (from January to April), Rosenstein remained in his U.S. Attorney post in Maryland and was included in the group of 46 U.S. Attorneys whose resignations Jeff Sessions demanded in early March. President Trump refused to accept his resignation.***
Thank you for posting this. I didn’t know this. So Sessions tried to clean house and Trump stopped him. Now he’s on Twitter whining about Sessions instead of acting like a man and bringing him in and talking to him face to face. Maybe now we know why.
I don’t like this Twitter bullshit. It got old a while back. My 17 year old daughter has already outgrown social media and thinks it’s childish. A President has much more important things to do than to talk about himself like a teenage girl on social media.
It’s damn embarrassing.

Not exactly. I believe Trump was fine with Sessions cleaning house, but he didn't want to accept Rosenstein's resignation because he wanted him to stay in that U.S. Attorney post while his nomination was being processed. Remember that Rosenstein wasn't confirmed until late April, so he would have been sitting in limbo for nearly two months -- during which time he would be getting calls on a daily basis from big law firms looking to hire him.

I was of the same mind last year up until the time he was tweeting useless, unnecessary bullsh!t about that former Miss Universe contestant who nobody had ever heard of before. That nearly cost him the election.
Since then, I've recognized that many of these messages have become a powerful weapon in destroying the monopoly of the mainstream media. It's also become a great tool for one of the most powerful weapons a political figure has when dealing with adversaries: incessant, entertaining ridicule.
I laid out the timeline in that prior post not to criticize Trump's comments about Sessions, but to support my contention that this is all a well-rehearsed game of distraction that involves both Trump and Sessions.
I think President should use more on Twitter to communicate with his supporters.
