So far I have learned to Trust Trumps instincts instead of listening to pundits who were so wrong over the last 2 years. Carry on President.

I have been puzzled about this since it started. It's quite possibly a put on by Trump, but I honestly don't know.

Another possibility (other than it's a distraction show by Trump and Sessions), is Trump needed to put a fire under Sessions, and did so. It's fairly certain he can't terminate Sessions as AG without riling the RINO senate, and the dems are determined to make sure he can't make a recess appointment.

Which would leave him with a de facto Rosenstein AG. It's called the horns of a dilemma.

So he does what he needs to in the best way he can. Light a fire under an employee who he can't get rid of. Make Sessions know he isn't doing what he should be doing, and keep doing so until he changes, or quits on his own. Strange enough, that seems to have worked a little bit in the past days. The AG is changing course in some ways.

One thing for sure, Trump is neither stupid, nor as half cocked in his responses as the media portrays. He's pretty dang good. Not that he can't make mistakes, but so far he's simply out fought his opposition and tied them in more knots than they can handle.

We'll eventually know what this is about, but it's certainly entertaining if nothing else.....

If this was just a Twitter rant I'd be the first to admit that he could have just impulsively vented without putting a lot of thought into it. We all remember how the term "covfefe" became a hilarious cult fixture among Trump's supporters (and even grudgingly among many of his detractors, I'm sure).

This wasn't the case at all.

1. This all started with a lengthy interview ...

2. ... with the New York Times, of all media outlets! ...

3. ... which is a newspaper that has been working incessantly to undermine President Trump ever since he was nominated last year ...

4. ... and which President Trump repeatedly refers to as "the Failing @NYTimes" in his Twitter posts (including several times since the interview was published).

The whole thing sounds contrived from top to bottom to me. LOL.
