About Those Political Appointments

Best way to address the leaking is to get his own people in to fill those openings. I went looking for the thread, no luck. Anyways, a bit more additional information on confirmations and nominations:

Want to know something scary? What is expected to be a busy hurricane season has begun without Trump appointing heads of NOAA and FEMA. Several other posts in the National Hurricane Center are also unfilled.

Wat has happened is that Trump, not having any political experience, had no clue about the thousands of positions in the federal government that need to be filled. As is normal procedure, everyone from the previous administration is expected to resign. But less than a third of those jobs have been filled.
So not only is Trump in well over his head, but none of his advisors is informing him of such.

Good thing democrats have done everything possible to stall, delay and hinder all of his appointments, eh?

See the danger you moonbats put the country in with your obstructionist actions simply because you can't accept the election?

No doubt the Congress is dragging their feet, but the main problem is lack of nominees and that's not on the Congress.

You can't stall, delay and hinder appointments that have yet to be made. Many of the appointments, such as White House personal staff, do not need to be confirmed. Trump just hasn't made them yet because he is too busy playing golf and posting on Twitter.

The end game is to bog the administration down by forcing them to concentrate on forcing appointments over the democrats objections.

The result is less time spent on other important things, like leading the country and filling needed appointments.

Admittedly they could work faster.

But the Dems have stated from day one that they plan on opposing Trump at every step. Their liberal base has also been calling for them to do just that. I believe there are nearly 70 appointments waiting to be confirmed.
