United States President Donald Trump accused Democrats of intentionally delaying the approval of his nominees. He claimed they were taking the maximum time, even for highly qualified candidates, accusing them of doing so for their own amusement.
The president claimed that even if historical figures like George Washington or Abraham Lincoln were nominated, Democrats would still push the process to the last moment. "It is disgraceful! They can't get over the landslide loss suffered in the Presidential Election," he claimed
Trump also warned that these actions would lead to even bigger defeats for the party in the future, calling on Republicans to "get tough" quickly. "We need our Nominees NOW, for the Safety and Good of our Country," he concluded.
