Jacquelnhal I’m sure Trump will think about other fantastic, tremendous, great appointees! Here’s his top four in the running! IndictTrumpNOW IKnowHim 🤣😂😉 .realDonaldTrump

Welcome again to the wreckage, also known as the repubs.

Sorry, realDonaldTrump but if you wrestle with a pig, you are going to get dirty. But not to worry. Your voter doesn’t care. As you correctly pointed out (and people thought you were joking) you could shoot somebody in the middle of Time Square and you wouldn’t lose a vote.

Does Whitaker know the truth about Trump-loyalty? Whitaker goes to jail for a loyalty-promise not to recuse himself and to perform acts of loyalty using Attorney General constitutional powers he does not have. Speak the truth endure the hate for the constitution.

Clean MY ASS!!!

Wow Trump distance him self from samebody fishy ties. He is expert in this department.

He did not. This is BS

Idk who this Guy is... But the Corporate Media HATES him... He's probably awesome!

Oh come on, past criminal behavior and willingness to lie are practically job requirements to work for Trump

meanwhile he also stated that he 'KNOWS Whitaker' and he's a 'great guy' so realDonaldTrump do you know him or not? I'd guess you do, he's as bent as you are and that's why you chose him, to do your bidding...

FakeNews

He could have seen all of these things prior with a simple google search

I like Mark Shields’ comment about Trump: Loyalty is a one way street with Donald Trump.

Backstabbed so soon?

This is a realDonaldTrump yes man! Not a Justice Person to protect Our US Constitution! We all should care about this!

Ah, vetting is apparently much harder than healthcare.

This serial lying on the part of the president of the United States should be a criminal offense. It's outright fraud of all Americans and a direct violation of his oath of office to uphold the Constitution.

realDonaldTrump flips his stories on a dime. Not the character you want as the President of the USA but you’ll be gone soon⚖️⚖️⚖️⚖️⚖️⚖️⚖️⚖️😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

Completely fake news

الأحمق ترامب realDonaldTrump بتصرفاته الهوجاء وصفقاتهِ وعائلته المشبوهه أصبح يمثل خطراً كبيراً على الحاضر الأمريكى وعلى قيمها ومبادئها لأنه يدير الأمور بنفس أسلوب إدارة حكام منظقة الشرق الأوسط!!!يا حكماء أمريكا أنقذو سمعة بلدكم...

And he appoints Whittaker as acting attorney general without knowing much about him? What an act of ignorance and more importantly act of incompetence! What was so hurry in appointment and firing of Sessions? All freaking yet another lies is what it sounds like!

Last thing he needs is yet another con man.

He’s actually distancing himself or are you just playing ? Trump is like a moth to a flame when it comes to corruption. The more corrupt the better.

Every little thing Trump does is magic

There’s no way 🍊👱🏻‍♂️can distance himself from Whitaker, because the damage is done.

Little 'Tommy Tucker ' got caught doing kindergarten again.

Boy. That's one of the fastest 'throw him under the bus' deals we've seen yet!

God I think we all know trump lies a lot . He didn't know these people in the picture neither.Yet he is that stupid he would say that's not him or it was photoshoped

Lt . Kendrick.

If he knew him, he was derelict to appoint him. If he didn't know him, he was derelict to appoint him.

Trumpo is such a piece of work. I can not listen to his voice.

Of course he does! He takes no responsibility for his actions or decisions!

What a shitshow

You assume things that you want to be true, to mislead the uninformed. What greater crime?

Is this another Mooch-like situation?

Makes me wonder about the competence of our government, Sessions picked this clown to be the chief of staff to the AG of the U.S. Justice Dept.!!!

The SOB lied again claiming he didn't know him when there is proof positive he does - and in his own voice. Aren't you tired of being tired? How in he'll can you stomach this pathological liar? Geezus people! This is insane. Resist and push back.

not sure if this guy is any worst that guiliani or christie

'I only hire the best people!' ~ Donald J. Trump

Trump doesn't know the guy he himself picked for AG... Contradictator

I predict Whitaker is out by Sunday night.

He was Jeff’s coffee boy. Don’t know how I tweeted his name as acting AG. - POTUS realDonaldTrump (tomorrow, probably)

How is the FBI investigation going?

Donkey!!!

Look at Trump run.

Now he don’t know him, this man is a straight

I love the way these people r Trump’s bffs until they do something iffy then he doesn’t know them and they had small roles in his affairs. LiarInChief

Ironic since he specifically picked him for his past comments.

Trump surrounds himself with sleeze and criminals.

“I don’t know him. Honestly I don’t know anyone”

So I guess he’s not lasting long

These liberal meltdowns are a h00t considering this guy is only an acting AG and will only be one for a couple months. 😂

You gotta ask yourself, why is the media like and Democrats so aggressive against Whitake 3 days into his 90 days “temporary” position? Maybe he will finally exposed Mueller, Democrat and media lies and corruptions.
