Donald Trump and US politics

"

US president Donald Trump is not a truly independent political leader but merely a puppet of US corporations, military and intelligence

There is no fake info here.

RT is of course biased but it's not more fake news than any other mainstream outlet in the west.

"

The Democrats, without a leader, have become the party of obstruction.They are only interested in themselves and not in what's best for U.S.

What the actual f*ck...

GOP controls, like, everything and he is blaming democrats when he can't get shit done?

"Obstructing" Trump even tho you don't have the majority/control anything would be like:

Why can't Trump get people he nominated actively working in the positions he wants them in and why are their approvals stalled so long if GOP controls everything?

Do the democrats have no part in that?

You have a white supremacist forum signature. Just saying.

That is a little old (Feb 9), but it says it's not only democrats fault: http://www.bbc.com/news/world-us-canada-38913709

It has taken longer so far for him to get the majority of his choices confirmed, although part of that is due to the lateness of a few nominations and delays in submitting background-check paperwork

This other one says that by Apr 22 he didn't even nominate 85% of some key positions in the executive branch:

"

Of the 554 positions requiring confirmation, as of Saturday, 473 have no nominee, 35 have been announced but not formally nominated, 24 have been nominated, and just 22 have been confirmed thus far

"

By this point in his first term, former president Barack Obama had 120 people nominated and just 54 confirmed

So, democrats might be slowing down nominations (specially ones such Betsy DeVos), but can Donald put the blame solely on democrats? He is not nominating people and is having trouble in handing over necessary paperwork.

Some people talked before a few days ago about "the deep state" *Boooo*.

They are calling Obama hold overs "deep state", when all they need to do is nominate replacements and fire them ._.

It's a fucking bad use for the term "deep state".

It's glorious how the left is being trolled into self-destruction.

If we take the racist frog as reference then it could be a sign for white supremacy:

If you fall for the OK symbol as racism, you have taken
/pols/ bait. They did the fake safety pin troll (using a late 80s gay signal) and several months back they started the fake OK symbol.

Currently, they are working on the two finger peace symbol as a direct Nazi sign.

The media will bite again. They always do.
