President Donald Trump channeled reality show host Donald Trump on Friday, via Attorney General Jeff Sessions, when he demanded the resignation of the remaining 46 Obama-era U.S. Attorneys across the country:

Keep in mind, all president do this to some degree. For comparison purposes, Trump is copying former President Bill Clinton who fired all 93 U.S. Attorneys on the same day:
Reminder: upon taking office Bill Clinton fired ALL of the U.S. Attorneys. As in all of them. All 93 of them. There was no scandal.

From the New York Times:
Still, some presidents have done it gradually, while keeping some inherited prosecutors in place, as it had appeared Mr. Trump would do with Mr. Bharara. President Barack Obama, for example, kept Mr. Rosenstein, who had been appointed by President George W. Bush.
Still, in 1993, the Clinton administration fired all 93 United States attorneys on the same day.
But despite that fact, libs are losing it over Trump’s move. Here’s former DOJ spox and Hillary Clinton supporter Matthew Miller:
A new POTUS can do what he wants with US attorneys, but coming when it does, this smacks of Trump paranoia about "deep state" conspiracies.
