It's the reasons behind it. Firing people because they disagree with you is just the actions of a dictator. Surely that's not acceptable, legally or morally.Trump being allowed to fire people in general "is" the issue. The reasons behind it doesn't matter. You don't like it, but he's the president. Like every president before him he has the right to fill his cabinet and other positions with whoever he chooses, and he has the right to fire whoever he wishes. That doesn't mean he's acting like a dictator. You have the right to hold those opinions but it's not going to change the fact that Trump is the president and that he acted within his right to fire the "acting" AG.
