President Donald Trump on Saturday denied a new report in the Washington Post alleging that Trump will refer to Attorney General Jeff Sessions as Mr. Magoo, an old cartoon character of an elderly man with poor vision.
Trump also denied that he calls Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein Mr. Peepers, another old character from a 1950s sitcom, as the Washington Post reported.
Its well known that Trump remains frustrated with Sessions over his recusal from the Russia investigation and Trump reportedly considered firing Rosenstein recently following the FBI raid on his longtime personal lawyer Michael Cohen......................................

Attorney General Jeff Sessions watches as President Donald Trump speaks to supporters, local politicians and police officers at an event at Manchester Community College on March 19, 2018 in Manchester, New Hampshire.
Looks like its media-bashing Saturday for President Trump as he took time out from his busy Florida afternoon to deny another piece of Fake & Disgusting news, as he called it. A few hours after he criticized the New York Times, it was the Washington Posts turn. A piece that claims Attorney General Jeff Sessions threatened to quit if the president fired his deputy, Rod Rosenstein, notes the president has some interesting nicknames for the two men. Trump reportedly calls Sessions Mr. Magoo and Rosenstein Mr. Peepers. But the president said thats impossible because he doesnt even know who those people even are.
The Washington Post said I refer to Jeff Sessions as Mr. Magoo and Rod Rosenstein as Mr. Peepers, Trump tweeted Saturday afternoon. This is according to people with whom the president has spoken. There are no such people and dont know these characters
just more Fake & Disgusting News to create ill will!
This was not the first time it has been reported that Trump calls his attorney general Mr. Magoo but its certainly the first time Trump has denied it on Twitter. And his justification that he doesnt even know who the character is seems a bit suspect considering the old-school cartoon character is such an important part of popular culture. His tweet also means that Trump is claiming he had never heard of the sitcom Mister Peepers, which aired for three seasons in the 1950s. Many were immediately skeptical of Trumps claim. .........................................

Trump flaccidly denies calling Jeff Sessions "Mr Magoo" Why bother denying childish bullying? That's your style, Bonespurs. You're a weak little bitch who hides behind bad lawyers. "Flippy" Michael Cohen, try that on for size!
