Trump is the President. He's the one who hired Barr to begins with. His input has everything to do with what needs to be done.
I respectfully disagree. While theoretically independent, none have ever been. So what President Trump has to say should just be ignored, and he just needs to do his job, period. Just state that you are doing what is right for this country, and that you are not swayed by what the President, the media, or members of the opposition party have to say. Get my point now?
