Trump just called his administration the worst in history

OK so if you believe that, then what is he using to measure democratic obstruction as the worst in history. Please explain in detail. Otherwise I believe I'm right.

why does it not surprise me.
please go back and read the OP.

The OP is wrong in what he said. in fact he is 100% wrong.
his argument is a bust and well so is yours but that isn't surprising.

No he isn't wrong because Trump is slow on picking his nominations and the Dems are NOT the biggest obstructionist in history. So Trump is incorrect. Quit while your behind, you're comments are looking more and more foolish each time you respond.
 
It's 3 levels deep, I think you can handle it ludin.

Trump blames democrats for the incredible number of vacancies in his administration. You know, the minority party in house, senate...Keeping in mind that Republicans recently blocked a SCOTUS appointment of Obama's, which is I think everyone will agree, 100x more important.

But Trump's sloppy way of writing, may have had NeverTrumpGOP showing that Trump's words can be interpreted to mean the opposite...that his administration is the worst in history because it cannot fill appointments.

Now the third level to this ludin, is what Transgrisnr and others are pointing out. That regardless of what Trump tweeted, if you look at....you know...reality, it's obvious that Trump's administration cannot keep up with the nominations/appointments...and with the record-breaking amount of turnover in the administration, he's losing what little he had in the first place. And we know this is largely because of who Trump is, he's a phony, a bully, and many think his presidency will go down in scandal. People are understandably, not all that interested in helping him paddle up the crap creek he chose to pursue.

In other words, Trump is the CEO of the U.S., it's his responsibility. Crying like a snowflake victim, when his party has congress and he's chief executive, is absurd.

You defending him for it is similarly absurd. Admit that Trump is struggling to keep the government staffed. Remember that some right-wingers have taken to defending him, saying that this saves taxpayer money, we want smaller government. So why is Trump mad he can't fill it, if he was trying to slim it down? Because you are not supposed to listen to what the right wing tells you, especially not Trump. You're suppose to look at reality.

Trump has been the slowest to nominate people for positions. As for obstructing, puuuuuuuhlease. First of all, many of Trumps picks ARE incompetent (see Matthew Petersen). Second of all as YOU guys all pointed out during the Obama administration in regards to the Republicans, the Dems are under NO Obligation to approve Trump's choices.

You should stop while you're behind.

Democrats are just acting like Republicans, whose obstruction of Obama was consistent and constant. Such good role models, those Republicans. This is just more presidential whining.
 
I thought it was obvious. He’s was talking about traditional use of German sausage in contemporary American cuisine. ;)

The Dems aren't being the same because most of the Dems objections to Trump's picks are they are incompetent. I mean take a look at DeVro for crying out loud or Matthew Petersen's comments. The Dems have proven DeVros actually IS incompetent and Carson is just unethical.
 
ludin said:
you obviously have a hard time understanding what he said.
this is pretty much another fail thread of yours.

he is calling the democratic obstruction of appointments the worse in history not his
administration.

you should just stop while your ahead.

Disclosure: I am not a Democrat. I did not vote for Hillary. I damn sure did not vote for Trump. I am an Independent. I did vote for George W. Bush, once.

There are valid reasons why the Democrats have been slow to approve Trump's appointments. Let's look at few:

DeVos (Why in the hell is that woman still in her job?)
Price
Carson
Zenki
Perry
Pruitt
Mulvaney
Shulkin
Mnuchin

And then there are other reasons:

Bannon
Ivanka
Jared
Scaramucci
Conway
Miller
Porter
McEntee

And now Trump wants to appoint his personal pilot as head of the FAA!


Trump who fancies himself as a brilliant businessman and one of the smartest people to have graduated from Wharton is neither. Trump's selection of billionaires, terrible chancers and sycophants are for the most part abysmal choices. Trump by all reports and by all that we can see is a gawdawful manager.

You are only as good as the people YOU hire. When as a manager of people you find that you must fire someone YOU hired, in almost every case YOU must share some of the failure. Hiring the right people, qualified people, giving them clear direction, guidance, support and encouragement is YOUR job as a manager/leader. If they fail part of that is on you, in most cases.

Trump has no vision, he is incurious, he has no real experience. Trump cannot keep his eye on the ball as he has no heart for what he is doing. He has no character. He is not a leader. He is not a manager. He is cares little about being an example.

People sometimes believe that being "the boss" is about privilege - many of the cabinet members and former cabinet members above have that misconception - and they are wrong. Good leadership, being the boss, is about sacrifice. Trump does not understand that nor does he practice it.

Fish rots from the head down. Why in the name of all things holy would anyone want to rush the approval of appointment choices by a man who has proven himself to a poor decision maker, a poor leader who regularly exhibits adolescent impulsivity and childish emotions?

And why are they obstructing? likely because all his picks are dumb or corrupt. So yes he effectively called his administration the worst in history :)

Can't fault the accuracy. Trumplings will try anyway. Oh the joys of brainwashing (assuming they have brains and not just some nerves to control automatic functioning?) Or perhaps it's just the zombie apocalypse?

How does he measure the worst in history? I am not deflecting, I am asking a question. Something you guys are refusing to do. Just take his words as literal gospel. YAY bashing Democrats. Who cares if it's wrong or doesn't even make sense.
