The Complainer-in-Chief, Donald Trump, is at it again. Never mind that the United States government is in the midst of another Trump Shutdown. Or that Trump’s inflationary tariffs continue to raise the cost of living for the American people. Or that Trump’s ICE thugs are invading cities and harassing citizens across the country. Or that Trump’s “Justice” Department is persecuting his political foes and the press. Trump is too busy bellyaching about his own perceived victimhood to worry about any of that.

None of this should come as a surprise to anyone who has been paying attention. After all, Trump himself told us years ago that he is “the most fabulous whiner.” No, really. He literally said that he whines until he gets what he wants. And it may be one of the few times that we can actually believe him…

The latest demonstration of Trump’s distemperment came in a comment posted to his failing Twitter ripoff, Truth Social. He is apparently very disturbed by what he says as the failure of Congress to confirm his judicial and attorney nominees. Specifically, he is upset at the Democrats who have legitimate reasons to oppose them. Trump lashed out saying that…
A ‘Blue Slip’ means that if you’re a Republican President, and there happens to be just one Democrat Senator in a state where you are appointing a U.S. Attorney or District Court Judge, you will never be successful in getting a Republican confirmed. In other words, ‘Blue Slips’ are a disaster, and I have eight GREAT Republican U.S. Attorney Candidates who will not be able to fulfill their service to the people of a state that voted overwhelmingly for me. The only one I can appoint is a Democrat, and that’s not the deal. Nobody can say that is fair or, even, Constitutional. Thank you for your attention to this matter! President DJT.”
There’s a lot wrong with that pitiful rant. Overall, Trump’s core complaints are two-fold. 1) that he can “never be successful” in getting his nominees confirmed. And 2) that it’s all the fault of Democrats. However, both of those gripes are false.
First of all, Trump’s complaint about judges not being confirmed doesn’t comport with reality. Here are the facts. He had 174 judges confirmed in his first term. He has six confirmed so far in his current term. He currently has 14 nominees pending. However, none of them are in states with a Democratic senator. Therefore, there are no “Blue Slips” to contend with. So if his judges aren’t being confirmed, there are other reasons.
Trump then complains about his U.S. Attorney nominees who aren’t being confirmed. Blue Slips are not a part of the process for that job. So, once again, they are not the reason that his nominees have stalled. The facts are that he has already had 19 confirmed. Part of the problem here is that Trump keeps appointing people on an interim basis, and then trying to make them formal nominees. But there are laws that regulate the circumstances under which that is permitted. And Trump doesn’t understand those laws, or care about them.
So Trump’s problems with both his judges and U.S. attorneys are purely of his own making. But rather than acknowledge his ignorance and incompetence, he is resorting to his favorite reaction: Whining and trying to shift the blame for his failures unto others. And this is the “leader” that MAGA thinks is so strong and powerful? Yeah, right!
