Speaking to supporters at the annual Conservative Political Action Conference in Maryland Saturday, President Donald Trump mocked his former attorney general from Alabama for recusing himself from the Russia investigation, inflecting a southern dialect to mimic the voice of Jeff Sessions.
"The attorney general says: 'I'm gonna recuse myself,’” Trump said in a southern accent. As attorney general, Sessions repeatedly faced public criticism from the president for recusing himself from special counsel Robert Mueller's investigation into Russian election interference. “Why the hell did he not tell me before?”
The mocking seems to corroborate reporting from Washington Post journalist and author Bob Woodward, who wrote in his book Fear: Trump in the White House that Trump privately bashed his then-attorney general as “mentally retarded" and a"dumb Southerner.
"Unfortunately, you put the wrong people in a couple of positions, and they leave people for a long time that should not be there," Trump said."All of a sudden, they are trying to take you out with bullshit. With bullshit." President Donald Trump speaks alongside US Attorney General Jeff Sessions after Sessions was sworn in as Attorney General in the Oval Office of the White House in Washington, DC, February 9, 2017.

Of course he did. He’s an immature jerk.

And?
realDonaldTrump A guy who cries when nbcsnl mocks him.
That’s all he has is repeats
Mocking the folks that elected him
And if he can do it with Sessions what will prevent him from doing it with other Repubs that fall from his grace...after all he is their god!
A person who offends you in the way he criticized others is less worry for me than murders
Why didn’t AGJeffBSessions tell him? Answer the question!
Sessions is trash, like Trump.
Hey txsguy09 he sounds like you
Remember a time when this behavior alone would completely embarrass a potus and take up like 6 months straight of media coverage? ...
Guy should have been a comedian. I think he missed his calling. He probably would have been really good at it.
Clinton gets impeached for lying about a blow job. Trump screws a porn star when his wife gives birth to their son, pays hush money to cover it up so Americans won’t know prior to the election. That’s NOT impeachable? GOP, let that sink in. You’re allowing campaign finance fraud!
I believe he said the reports of him doing exactly that months ago were fake news.
His way of making fun of all Southerners......Don the Con is on.
Loyalty. Fail.
That's rich. What about his New York accent? Hypocrite.
This proves he‘s orange
When a mad man is cornered they will attack attack attack!
Lies. And damn lies.
