'Get something done': Trump furiously demands GOP action in statement on 'unfair' process

Donald Trump kicked off his Thursday morning on Truth Social by demanding Senate Majority Leader John Thune (R-SD) do something to overcome Democrats holding up votes on presidential appointees who are languishing due to Senate “blue slips.”

The president fired off another missive on Thursday, complaining that the opposing party is hampering his ability to pack the courts and U.S. attorney offices with allies, calling the long-standing Senate prerogative a ”scam.”

On Truth Social he wrote, “’Blue Slips’ are making it impossible to get great Republican Judges and U.S. Attorneys approved to serve in any state where there is even a single Democrat Senator. If they say no, then it is OVER for that very well qualified Republican candidate. Only a really far left Democrat can be approved. It is shocking that Republicans, under Senator Chuck G, allow this scam to continue.”

Complaining the current state of affairs is “So unfair to Republicans, and not Constitutional,” the president added, “I am hereby asking Senate Majority Leader John Thune, a fantastic guy, to get something done, ideally the termination of Blue Slips. Too many GREAT REPUBLICANS are being, SENT PACKIN’. None are getting approved!!! President DJT”
