From the "resignation" letter: "At your request, I am submitting my resignation."
In the real world, that's called getting fired. But Trump never comes out and directly fires people, except when he reads it off a teleprompter on a "reality" TV show.
If he had any cojones, he would have had it out with Sessions at the time of the recusal, and made a decision then to support him or fire him. Instead, Trump stews over it for a year, sniping at Sessions in the media. And Sessions was nuts for putting up with it.
