Trump complains about Democrats failing to confirm people he hasn't nominated

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

In the midst of his Monday morning Twitter rant, Donald Trump paused for the daily direct-to-Trump ego-stroking that is Fox and Friends. There, hosts eager to get away from watching Trump dump a boatload of poison into his own Supreme Court case by insisting that the actions of people of unknown origin was proof of the need for his totally-not-a-Muslim-ban (and perhaps take half a step back from the Muslim interment camps suggested by two of their guests) hustled to come up with a new topic. It was a topic that Trump then dutifully inserted into his rant.

The issue with this issue, is that the bottleneck isn’t with Democrats who—Trump might recall—don’t control either end of Congress. The problem is squarely at the start of the pipeline.

Four months into his presidency, Donald Trump has filled only five of the 53 top jobs at the Pentagon – the slowest pace for nominations and confirmations in over half a century.

The slow spot in the Trump regime is Trump—and that’s not even in question. Of 559 key positions that need to be confirmed by the Senate, 442 don’t even have a nominee. And why is that?

1. One of two things is true,

both of which are equally plausible. Either (1) Trump has no idea why there are so many empty desks in the administration or (2) Trump knows his supporters will accept anything he says - no matter if demonstrably false.
