President Donald Trump falsely designated himself the "chief law enforcement officer of the United States" while speaking to reporters on Tuesday.

The attorney general, in this case William Barr, is the chief law enforcement officer of the US.

The president also acknowledged that he makes Barr's job more difficult, referring to Barr's remark last week that Trump's tweets make it "impossible" for him to do his job.

"I do make his job harder," Trump told reporters. "I do agree with that." He added that he has "total confidence" in the attorney general.

1. Enforcing laws like the Affordable Care Act??

This clown is a miserable failure at everything he does. Especially "law enforcement".
Truth is, he just wants to make up his own laws.
