'Very unfair': Trump whines about Senate not approving his ambassador picks in New Year's Eve attack

President Donald Trump closed out 2018 with a Twitter rant against Democrats for not approving his nominees to be ambassadors.

Specifically, Trump attacked the minority leader in the Senate, Democrat Chuck Schumer, despite the fact Republicans, led by Sen. Mitch McConnell (R-KY), control the chamber.

“Heads of countries are calling wanting to know why Senator Schumer is not approving their otherwise approved Ambassadors!?” Trump claimed. “Likewise in Government lawyers and others are being delayed at a record pace!”

Trump said “360 great and hardworking people” were “waiting for approval from Senator Schumer.”

“These are people who have been approved by committees and all others, yet Schumer continues to hold them back from serving their Country!” he claimed.

Hey, Trump! Your party controls both Houses of Congress. Tell McConnell to take votes on your "nominees" and let's see what happens. Oops, you're too late.

By the way, you idiot, you haven't nominated anyone to more than a dozen ambassadorships. That could not be the Democrats fault under any conditions.

Jerk.
