It appears President Donald Trump is feeling the communications loss as he's been short on staff in the West Wing.
In a tweet, President Donald Trump attacked Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY) for not approving his ambassador appointments. Schumer isn't the leader of the Senate nor is he the chair of the committee that approves such appointments.
The problem, however, was observed by New York Times reporter Maggie Haberman, who said the president is using "literally" the same attack he used in March and April of this year.
"This was literally White House messaging from at least six months ago. Dusted off for shutdown," Haberman tweeted.
"The Democrats continue to Obstruct the confirmation of hundreds of good and talented people who are needed to run our government...A record in U.S. history. State Department, Ambassadors and many others are being slow walked. Senate must approve NOW!" Trump tweeted in April.
"Hundreds of good people, including very important Ambassadors and Judges, are being blocked and/or slow walked by the Democrats in the Senate. Many important positions in Government are unfilled because of this obstruction. Worst in U.S. history!" Trump claimed just a month previously. "Hopefully the Senate will not leave Washington until our Ambassadors, Judges and the people who make Washington work are approved. The Democrats are Obstructing the process and we need these people approved for the good of our Country!"
Awkward.
