Yeah the DOJ should investigate someone writing a critical Op-Ed of you. You know the sad thing is? Maybe if you weren’t such a dick to Sessions, he probably would do it for you given your shared authoritarian wet dreams.

Honestly, Trump should find out who wrote the op-ed. He shouldn’t use the DOJ to do it, it should be an internal White House investigation. But as the duly elected president (and as much as we want to bemoan the facts, he won based on the rules in place at the time), he’s entitled to have staff working to carry out his policy preferences. If they can’t do that, then they should resign and explain publicly why the resigned. This isn’t a red state senator writing an op-ed criticizing his preferred policies, this is a member of his staff basically saying “people in the building are working to undermine the president’s policies.” That is not how the presidency should work, and if any official from any past administration had done this, they’d be rode out of town on a rail.

Basically, this is one of those spots where he’s right, but for the wrong reasons.
