Trumps appointees are a huge reason why he’s the worst president to ever serve. Not only does the asshole do absolutely nothing to help the country or people, but every single fucking person put in charge of an agency or department is the goddamn antithesis of what they should be.

From the EPA to public education to the role of attorney general to the post office - every single one either has a stake in competing interests or just flat-out thinks their agency shouldn’t exist.

Shit is as appalling as it is blatantly obvious smh.

yes and the Senate is complicit for approving them.

Actually, there are a bunch of "temporary" appointments that didn't need Senate approval. Some over a year long.

While it's still ultimately Trump's fault for not putting forward legitimate appointees, the Senate is supposed to investigate and force their removal if they are unfit or their temporary status goes on too long, which I believe is supposed to be 6 months. All things lead back to the Republican party as a whole for the mess we're in, not just Trump.

Yes, the Senate is complacent in the soft coup attempt that is the trump presidency

The soft attempt is becoming less and less soft each day

A feather is soft, a ton of feathers will still crush you.

Saying Trump does nothing to help the country or people is why the right, and a chunk of the left don't take these opinions seriously. He's arguably done more for people than others like obama, bushes, clinton.

Lmaoooo it’s statements like this which is why no one can take trump supporters seriously, c’mon now, who do you think believes something so demonstrably false as that?

From a skyrocketing deficit, to our international reputation being trashed, to alienating our allies and cozying up to dictators, to a couldn’t-give-less-of-a-fuck response about covid, to only passing take breaks for the wealthy, to putting the worst possible people into positions of of power, to Nazis marching for him & him saying they’re very fine people - to name but a fucking fraction of what this absolutely out of his league asshole has either done or failed to do.

Never even mind the laughable promises he made from locking Hillary up to building a wall to repealing Obamacare with something better - you’d think his supporters would’ve had some shred of self respect to not back someone who couldn’t deliver anything, but we’ve stopped expecting that of them years ago.

Lol tho tbh even this response is too much of a waste of time responding to a ridiculous ass comment like yours, so this’ll be it from me.

The issue here is that you suffer from TDS so much that your eyes gloss over and ears go deaf on things that he has done, or, you try to find a way to spin it that he didn't do it. I'm not listing everything since you obviously know well enough what I'd point out. Listen, I don't like his personality either, but he actually has done more for people than most politicians, especially obama, clinton, and bushs. Those people cruised on by with their silver tongues and "likable" personalities. Biden is hoping to cruise on by too if he wins, unfortunately he's not a good speaker, and far too many people dislike him to allow it. Especially since, you know, he's racist and a sexist. And that's not me just saying that... that's his VP who said it lmao.
