Mr Trump’s tweet was significant in itself for its cruelty and foolishness. The far-right website Breitbart, usually staunch in its support, is among those to have turned upon Mr Trump. Mr Trump is attacking his country’s most senior law enforcement officer – very possibly hoping to push him into resignation. He is doing so because Mr Sessions recused himself from overseeing justice department inquiries into Russian meddling in the election. Of course, these details look almost anodyne compared with what we have learned since about the conduct of other members of Mr Trump’s campaign.
