Is Trump more upset at Sessions himself or the situation around him?

Looks to me he's frustrated at the fact Sessions' primary purpose to him was essentially neutered.

He viewed Sessions strictly as a get out of jail free card, someone who would put the kibash on any personal investigation of him.

I think he really thought Sessions was supposed to be his own personal attorney.

He can't control the government like he controlled his employees. He knows nothing about how government works. He needs to quit while he's ahead.

Like now.

Sessions recused because of his conflicts working on the Trump campaign (and likely, the Russia conspiracy). Of course Trump knew of all these conflicts... he was responsible for them.

and ensure no investigations into Trump/Russia would see light of day. Trump expects total loyalty from others, but throws them under the bus when they don't deliver his unreasonable expections.
