President Donald Trump reportedly sent a warning to his former attorney general, who is considering standing in Alabama's Republican primary for the U.S. Senate.

"I don't have an attorney general. It's very sad," Trump told Hill TV in an interview a couple of months before he fired Sessions.In February 2018, Sessions defended himself against Trump's criticisms in a statement.

"As long as I am the attorney general, I will continue to discharge my duties with integrity and honor, and this department will continue to do its work in a fair and impartial manner according to the law and Constitution," Sessions said. If Sessions, 72, does choose to run again in Alabama for the GOP, and risk Trump's wrath in doing so,In a 2017 special election to replace Sessions as the state's senator, Moore lost to the Democrat Doug Jones amid allegations that the Republican had been sexually inappropriate with several underage girls while in his thirties, which he denied.

A primary with Moore and Sessions, and potentially one of them taking the nomination if no other candidate scoops it ahead of them, has the potential to be a damaging affair for the Republican Party. The election is in 2021. "Even if he's completely innocent of the accusations that came to light in 2017, this move is indicative of a person whose judgment Alabamians should never trust, who is willing to turn yet another election cycle into a self-centered circus," Elizabeth BeShears, a Republican political consultant in Birmingham, toldThis combination of pictures created on August 1, 2018 shows US President Donald Trump during a joint press conference in the East Room of the White House in Washington,...

TrueFactsStated what's amazing about this is that because Trump can't resist bring spiteful, he'll likely end up helping to reelect Doug Jones because at least some of his base will follow his lead and either vote for Moore or one of the other R's. The dems would love a Jones vs Moore runoff.

TrueFactsStated So, nothing new

TrueFactsStated SenSusanCollins how does this sit with you? You are supposedly a good friend of Sessions. Will you stand up for him against the scoundrel?

TrueFactsStated Being that Sessions was AG, I suspect he has some very interesting tidbits on Trump that may make him think twice. But Trump clearly doesn’t think; he’s like a Venus flytrap; reacts to stimulus.

TrueFactsStated Nevertheless, he persisted.

TrueFactsStated I'm so tired of this low level childhood behavior from the president. 'Bully Pulpit' used to be a metaphoric term. He uses it literally every single day. It's embarrassing and it's deplorable.

TrueFactsStated

TrueFactsStated trump really does think he's king huh?

TrueFactsStated Like, with weapons?

TrueFactsStated Oh God yes please let this happen. Only in the circus folly of donnie's administration can this be great.

TrueFactsStated

TrueFactsStated Ok Boomer.

Why? Is he going to support his pederast buddy Roy Moore again? Are you, Donald? realDonaldTrump

What's funny about this is........ Jeff Sessions has the goods on Trump and could fire right back. Trump had better kiss Jeff's bloomin' white ass.

I thought the trump children were going to run the family business?

What's he going to do tell his followers to vote for Roy Moore again? At least host your rally in Alabama this time instead of Florida just outside of Alabama.

We warned you Mr Sessions,but did you listen?

That would be a plus for Mr Sessions.

Americas image as a bald eagle is lowered to that of a Cock fighting itself.

Fake news

That might actually help Sessions 😂

Sounds great. A thief is attempting to discredit someone he hired.

You gotta love it when Trump eats his own!

The enemy of my enemy is not my friend. Trump and Sessions both suck.

Attack, attack!

If Sessions doesn’t run for the Senate, 45 won’t publicly attack. Excuse me but is that not also a quid pro quo A something in exchange for something ...? Just asking for the folks in the cheap seats.

I’m waiting

How is this different than any other day?🤨

👇

So, 6 more years for Doug Jones.

I hope he does. His big toe should not step in the senate.

Couldn’t happen to a nastier racist!

Fake News

Ugh - the only thing that could make me root for Sessions.

Thanks for the update. Good! May their negativity destroy them! I won’t be paying them any attention.

With this poor excuse of a president, every day is the upside down.

Go ahead, let Doug Jones keep his seat!

So petty and vindictive.

I can’t wait for Trump to endorse him next week

And how does that differ from every other word out of his mouth? He is permanently attacking someone, who depends on what triggered him at a given point in time.

Take that jeffsessions in a report you said you’d never talk bad about Trump in fact you said you are loyal to him. So, what do you think about trump’s comment of attacking you if you run for senator?

Thats what his good at, thats how we are into this Ukraine scandal.

GOP will support the diddler over the 1 GOP person to actually follow the law....

This is actually fake... He publicly said Jeff sessions should run... But that wouldn't be a story would it...

Trump is a very small vindictive child.

No worries Jeff, any words that come out of Trump’s mouth are coming from an EXTORTIONIST

Well that should help him win!!!

Ya gotta love it. ROFLMAO 🤣. Such a clown car.

When doesn’t trump publicly attack anyone, been there done that

This is really the kind of president we really want ................................................ to impeach.

Hmmmmm

Triggered much?

WTF? Now he gets to threaten anyone who didn’t bend to his every whim? THIS is ridiculous..... and I’m not a sessions fan

Oh for crying out loud! I just hate realDonaldTrump just loath the piece of lint

F*** Trump over Sessions. Sessions supported Trump way, WAY beyond what that despicable monster SenMittRomney did, who Trump supoorted whole cloth. cc DanScavino parscale

Those who displease Dear Leader shall be punished!

Which should finally make the Evil Keebler Elf mad enough to tell all he knows about the Criminal-n-Chief

That’s what he does every minute of every day

I double dare him to do that, all he will do is galvanize support for sessions who will in turn, turn on him

Jeff sessions, why does that name sound familiar?

Senator Sessions might have the southern graciousness to send inmate Trump a care package now and again.

Bully ssshole

trumpharmsusall It’s begun!

trumpharmsusall Your a pitiful man

Let’s see. President attacks me and I get elected; President rallies for me Democrat gets elected. I think I’ll take my chances and run.

🤷🏽‍♀️

Lol

You just can't make this shit up!!

I suddenly have this urge to watch a snake eat its own tail.

MAKE AMERICA MORE RACIST

Intimidation and bullying is all he knows

Exactly! That how Trump get all GOP to vote the way he wants including RandPaul and lisamurkowski They know how this guy closes deals!! Trump

Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha

Thug.

Awww, did jeffsessions hurt little realDonaldTrump’s feelings and now he’s threatening to throw a temper tantrum... 👶

....and that’s a threat? What more damaging stuff can he say beyond what he’s already said........what he doesn’t get is that it will help Sessions, but never mind, he’s lost in Narcissistland...🤔

Fake news

Trump is disgusting on so many levels.

Run Jeff RUN!!

Good. Like 2 cancers eating each other.

Keep it up. One sure way for Jones re election

I’m sure the impeachment folks would love Sessions as a witness

That should be fun.

😂

so, Trump is saying to jeff sessions: “u r fired means, u r really fired until i hire u again; bc u were nothing, i made u, therefore know ur place.”

realDonaldTrump WhiteHouse jeffsessions GOP DNC washingtonpost nytimes CNN TIME USATODAY We thought The USA had a democracy not a dictatorship. Jeff, I am not a Republican but go ahead and run and win and show America that DEMOCRACY IS STILL ALIVE IN AMERICA.

That’s our mature president once again speaking out like a high schooler ‼️

I wonder how DT would do under oath

All Jeff needs to do is sing n tell all under oath

He will eventually endorse him. Mark my words.

Where's Melania with her anti-bullying campaign?
