WASHINGTON Few Republicans were quicker to embrace President Trumps campaign last year than Jeff Sessions, and his reward was one of the most prestigious jobs in America. But more than four months into his presidency, Mr. Trump has grown sour on Mr. Sessions, now his attorney general, blaming him for various troubles that have plagued the White House.
The discontent was on display on Monday in a series of stark early-morning postings on Twitter in which the president faulted his own Justice Department for its defense of his travel ban on visitors from certain predominantly Muslim countries. Mr. Trump accused Mr. Sessions department of devising a politically correct version of the ban as if the president had nothing to do with it.
In private, the presidents exasperation has been even sharper. He has intermittently fumed for months over Mr. Sessions decision to recuse himself from the investigation into Russian meddling in last years election, according to people close to Mr. Trump who insisted on anonymity to describe internal conversations.

Behind-the-scenes frustration would not be unprecedented in the Oval Office.

Besides other cretins? Short of his own family, he will blame all of his staff for his many failures. It's a matter of time until the finger will be pointed at any one of them. They must live in perpetual anxiety, but they chose their poison, so screw 'em.

imagine what he will do if Comey tells all on Thursday. The orange one NEVER takes responsibility for what he does.....it is always someone else's fault. He behaves like a two-year-old who has temper-tantrums every day.
