Trump refers to Sessions as 'Mr. Magoo': report

BY JACQUELINE THOMSEN - 02/28/18 07:39 PM EST

President Trump refers to Attorney General Jeff Sessions as “Mr. Magoo,” The Washington Post reported Wednesday.

Trump has been comparing his top law enforcement official to the bumbling cartoon character, an elderly man who lands in comic situations largely due to his severe near-sightedness.

The president has also been complaining to associates that he generally has hired the best lawyers for himself, but that as president he’s forced to utilize Sessions, who isn’t defending Trump to the best of his ability, according to The Post.

Special counsel Robert Mueller is reportedly investigating whether Trump tried to oust Sessions from his administration last summer.

Jeff doesn’t wear coke bottle glasses.

He is the embodiment of the evil Keebler elf.

He refuses to recognize the AG's independence and that will bury him.
