Trump Blames Democrats For Blocking Nominees He Hasnt Even Picked Yet
Source: Huffington Post
WASHINGTON ― President Donald Trump on Monday morning accused Democrats of obstructionism for taking forever to approve my people, including Ambassadors.
The one problem with Trumps tweet? After taking the unusual step of ordering politically appointed ambassadors to leave their overseas posts by Inauguration Day ― Jan. 20 ― he has sent only a handful of ambassadorial nominations to the Senate.
Trumps complaint was apparently prompted by coverage on the Fox and Friends program of the acting U.S. ambassador to the United Kingdom, Lewis Lukens, praising London Mayor Sadiq Khan hours after Trump created controversy when he criticized comments Khan made about Saturday nights terrorist attack in London.
The cable news show questioned whether the public discord between Trump and Lukens was a sign that the president should move faster to put his own ambassadors in place. Trumps tweet blaming the Democrats followed, and he tagged Fox and Friends on it.

(5,801 posts)Both dump and chimpy had well documented track records of screwing up and failing at a variety of endeavors before running for president. During the campaigns, neither were held to account by the snooze media, who decided these dolts were fascinating individuals who warranted softball coverage that eased their way into the White House. Both then went on to continue their pattern of screwing up on a massive scale.
i.e. f*ckups before becoming president = f*ckups as president.
And the "news" media then goes on to be shocked, shocked at how things turn out. Whoooo could possibly have known???
