Trump Is Getting Called Out for Claiming He's Our 'Chief Law Enforcement Officer' the Same Day He Let Criminals Off the Hook

On Tuesday during a press gaggle, President Donald Trump responded to comments made by his Attorney General William Barr.

Barr told ABC News that Trump's incessant tweeting made his job harder.


The President acknowledged he does make life difficult for Barr. But then Trump claimed he could make things worse and be justified because he's the "chief law enforcement officer" of the United States.

The President stated:

"I do make his job harder. I do agree with that."

But Trump added:

"I'm actually, I guess, the chief law enforcement officer of the country."
"But I've chosen not to be involved. I could be involved if I wanted to be."

People who actually have knowledge of the United States Constitution and the structure of the federal government immediately noted that "chief law enforcement officer" is an actual position designated within the executive branch by the Judiciary Act of 1789.

But it isn't the President.

The person Trump admits to undermining with his constant tweets—Attorney General Barr—is actually the chief law enforcement officer of the United States.

Trump's remarks came after several new pardons were announced.

Critics pointed out the latest exercise of presidential power indicated anything but dedication to law and order.


As of Tuesday, February 18, the 2020 election is 258 days away.

Guy Admits His Ignorance After Girlfriend Educates Him On What Really Happens During Menstruation—And He's Horrified

Women's health should be much more common knowledge than it is, but many subjects related to women—especially menstruation, pregnancy, and childbirth—are still considered pretty "taboo" subjects in public spaces, in shared educational spaces, and, of course, among men.

That's why there are so many men like TikToker @connortalkslol who only start finding out what menstruation really is and what the cycle entails when they go looking for the information themselves.
