Is Trump unaware he can fire Sessions? Is Trump aware his constant badgering makes him look worse than simply firing him?

In his interview with the New York Times, Trump said that after Sessions recused himself, Trump ended up with this other guy, "the deputy" (Rosenstein) ... and asked who the heck he was? He said he was just "some guy from Baltimore" or something like that.

President Trump appointed Rod Rosenstein to the Deputy AG post.

LOL.

I think Trump sees the AG's role as one of defending himself against all slings and arrows. That and Trump seems to relish not only defeating people not totally loyal to him but to be vindictive about it. Honestly though that trait was/is part of Trump's appeal to his base. We just hoped it would be applied to democrats.
