super racist sessions not good old boy enough for lord trump
He's mad at Sessions for doing the right thing though.
the only things he cares about are personal loyalty and fame. add in dementia and pre-diabetes and you can extrapolate the entire trump administration from there.

He's playing chicken with Trump.
He wants to maintain some of his power because he doesn't want to just do Trump's bidding at this point. But Trump knows he almost can't get rid of him because his replacement would almost certainly be worse for him than Sessions. It will be nearly impossible for him to appoint a Surrogate to AG or someone who would be at least even somewhat loyal to him like Sessions has been at points
So basically he's saying "I'm going to do what I want at this point. Don't like it, I'll resign. If I don't resign, fire me."
Which honestly is a good play from Sessions. Don't think Trump has a counter.

It's only Tuesday.
Nobody said he was. He just threatened to.
But wait! There's more:

Who is worse than Jeff Sessions that could replace him?
Five dimensional tic tac toe
The possibility of resigning should not be the foremost concern of the "Human Confederate Monument" Jefferson Beauregard Sessions III. Given all the talks of Russian collusion in the adminstration, especially in regards to Sessions and along with Mueller on the case!
Keep on sweating.

End of week if testimonies go bad.

I'm sure the reason Trump is pissed off is because with Sessions as the AG he felt like he could have influenced Sessions to back off the Flynn investigation. And Rosenstein fucked Trump by appointing Mueller to get back at him for Trump using Rosenstein as a scapegoat for firing Comey.
The dominoes are falling. Can't wait for Thursday.

Let us pray that Sessions is done. Didn't Trump do this with Comey? He eventually got canned.
"Wait, don't fire him! Let's see what Trump has tweeted about him first..... Okay, don't fire him, he said he has faith in him four days back."
Not even influence. They were on the same team.
Trump expects people to toe the line and defend him absolutely, why do you think spicer and everyone else absolutely do what Trumps wants beyond anything else? Because they get destroyed backstage when it goes back and they dont do their utmost to defend Trump even if it means lying or taking the hits.

I'd settle for the remainder of Trump's term if Sessions goes and there's an AG with even just late 90's viewpoints.
