He doesn't. Sessions is the one that can fire Mueller.

He cant. Suggesting it or demanding it via threat is a no go.

Sessions recused himself from anything involving the Russia investigation, leaving Rosenstein in charge. Unless Trump replaces either him or Sessions, Rosenstein is the only one that can fire Mueller.

Actually he can't unless he un-recused himself and that would probably be as big a legal thing as if Trump just ignored that he has no authority here and tried to fire him anyway.

The job falls to Rod Rosenstein, but Trump does have the authority to fire and replace him. So technically Trump could fire and replace the Deputy Attorney General until he finds one willing to fire Mueller.

So if I Tweet Trump and tell him ill fire Mueller I could get a new job?
