Wow. Earlier tonight el Presidente tossed another volley of insults at Jeff Sessions from his twitter:
3 years ago, after Jeff Sessions recused himself, the Fraudulent Mueller Scam began. Alabama, do not trust Jeff Sessions. He let our Country down. That’s why I endorsed Coach Tommy Tuberville (@TTuberville), the true supporter of our #MAGA agenda! https://t.co/pCi7jftce2 https://t.co/sAn1VbxNwc

I mean, we’re used to this right? He’s been slapping down Sessions for years now, despite Jeff being one of the first big supporters of his campaign. In fact, he was the first U.S. Senator to support Trump. Well, it looks like Sessions got sick of being Trump’s punching bag:
.@realdonaldtrump Look, I know your anger, but recusal was required by law. I did my duty & you're damn fortunate I did. It protected the rule of law & resulted in your exoneration. Your personal feelings don't dictate who Alabama picks as their senator, the people of Alabama do. https://t.co/QQKHNAgmiE

Tuberville's a coward who is rightly too afraid to debate me. He says you're wrong on China & trade. He wants to bring in even more foreign workers to take American jobs. That's not your agenda and it's not mine or Alabama's. I know Alabama. Tuberville doesn't.

Wow. Well that is surprising. He kinda rebukes Trump’s criticism without really hitting back at him personally. Instead he tries to persuade him that Tuberville isn’t really his man either. I don’t think that’s gonna go very far with Trump who seems to value loyalty to himself above all other things, but we’ll have to see what happens…
