So Congress slow-walks every Trump nominee and you say it's Trump's fault?So wait. 8 years of Obama and we don't have these problems. 6 months of Trump not nominating a secretary of the Navy and we do have them starting up. So we blame the guy that didn't have the problems under his watch?
Wasn't there some article last month about how only 5 of the top 53 jobs in the pentagon had been filled so far by Trump?
Maybe instead of nominating a secretary of the Navy who was a banker in Hong Kong that was now his neighbor, and then not filling the position until 3 weeks ago finally was a bad move?

Yes, that's true. 8 years of Obama forcing the military to apologize and run and hide, takes a while to recover from.So wait. 8 years of Obama and we don't have these problems. 6 months of Trump not nominating a secretary of the Navy and we do have them starting up.

He has had his nominations delayed, and delayed and delayed by Democrats. Every trick in the book has been used. The first withdrew his name, the second it took 2 months for the confirmation to take place. And there was an acting Sec of the Navy during that time period. It wasn't just wallowing in the wind.

No he hasn't been overly held up. he chose a buddy as Secretary of the Navy who had no experience with the Navy and couldn't divest his fortunes. The guy finally rescinded his acceptance.
He's got a Republican Senate in office. The problem isn't the 42 days for Trump vs. the 35 for Obama. If that week was the issue then the 10 day difference from Obama to GWB is even more of an issue. The problem is he hasn't nominated people. Last month it was something like 384 of the 564 position for him to nominate had no nomination.
Trump himself has said that in many of those cases we just don't want to fill those positions.
When he nominated venture capitalist Richard Spencer to be secretary of the Navy that wasn't until June. He only just nominated that Raytheon Lobbyist as Secretary of the Army last month after Green and Vinny Viola withdrew.
Obama swore in Mabus March 27th and he was in office May 19. Spencer was June 2nd and confirmed August 1st. 7 day difference. The problem was the 2+ month gap in nominating them.
And yes. The Navy had a stand in as secretary of the Navy. Not the person that Trump felt should run the Navy.
They never heard of the chain of command..Does seem to be way past stupid doesn't it?
It is widely known Obama did not respect military people whatsoever, and it was obvious the shit stain that is Obama did not have the respect of the military....
The morale of the military was the lowest under Obama than any other president, it takes time to recover from fuck ups like Obama.
