Trump "screams" at Jeff Sessions that he MUST fire Mueller!
What? Trump has the power to DIRECT Sessions to fire Mueller, and if Sessions doesn't do it, to fire Sessions and appoint someone who will fire Mueller.
But he didn't DIRECT Sessions, he just told him what he SHOULD do, in Trump's opinion.
Trump is two (or more) different people, figuratively speaking. He is the POTUS. But he is also - mainly through Twitter - a partisan, out of control loudmouth.
It is a mistake to read his twitter feed and take those expressions as the formal statements of the POTUS. They are the rantings of a partisan gadfly. Those ventings could change from day to day, or even hour to hour.
It is analogous to a major league sports team owner who criticizes the actions of the head coach, but kept him on board because ultimately he trusts the coach's judgment.
