... The president reportedly has told his aides Sessions is not capable of speaking on behalf of the president on television because he "talks like he has marbles in his mouth" ...

Trump also took issue with the fact that Sessons "doesn't have the Ivy League pedigree the president prefers." Sessions graduated from Huntingdon College in Montgomery and The University of Alabama School of Law ...

Trump told Fox News that Sessions "never took control of the Justice Department" and claimed he only gave Sessions the job was because he "felt loyalty" ...

"It's OK with me when Jeff follows my trail of marbles and loose screws. It's fine with me if he picks them up and puts them in his mouth. But if he were loyal, he'd swallow them!"

1. Well, I hope Donald Trump will remember; A southern man don't need him around anyhow.

There were 1,100 comments to the article at AL.com when I posted this reply.

2. Hat should set well with his base

I'm sure soon enough that he will claim he never said that, and the lying failing NY Times made it up or something.

4. You really have to work to make me

sympathetic towards Jeff Sessions, but Trump pulled it off. University of Alabama is a great academic school, and a law degree from it is perfectly acceptable to serve as a prosecutor.

I wish he would say this where someone could record him. People don't realize what an elite snob he actually is.

I probably would send my kid to Auburn for engineering, but I would not hesitate to send them to Alabama either if I lived in the state.

5. The republican Draft-Dodger-in-Chief HATES southerners

and people who speak with a southern accent. That's a whole lot of hate, even for a republican casino hustler, bless his vile heart.

6. Hahaha, now that's funny. An idiot who can't put together a simple senrence,

spell, or use punctuation criticizes another!
