Sam Stein on Trump, Sessions: It Seems Very Much Like a Chapter from the Apprentice

‘Trump likes a show’

EXCERPT:

STEIN: "There’s two things. One is that Trump likes a show. This is very much -- it seems very much like a chapter out of 'The Apprentice'. Will he or won't he fire Jeff Sessions? Turn in tomorrow for Trump's tweets. And -- and naybe this is all some sort of bizazare ratings play, but we're not on TV. The other thing though is that Trump is clearly sending a directive to both, people he coud potentially hire, but also the people who are currently in office, that if you get too close to him with respect to the Russian investigation, he will make your life miserable. And I think that’s not a have subtle directive that he's sending, it's not a subtle message at all. And I don’t think he wants it to be subtle. I think he wanted people to know that you better be on his team doing his bidding or he will literally go out in public and make your life miserable. And I'm not sure how functioning government works this way."
