That's just some good ol' boyism. Sessions was a Senator so I see that more as just him repping for one of their own.
Sessions is tough spot for Trump...
1: He's well liked by the populist/nationalist/nativist Breitbart types,
2: He's also well connected with establshment types (So Fox News & Congress),
3: Firing him limits his replacement options
I'm fairly certain that Trump wants him gone but he wants to force him to resign rather then fire him. If he "resigns" then conservative media and congressional Republicans grumble rather then fury and he can appoint some lapdog without any skin in the game that Trump doesn't give him.
