Donald Trump claims that he was left a mess by his predecessor and is in control of a “fine-tuned machine” remaking the government in his own image. But the reality is a deadly proposition for American citizens.

There was already a huge gap between open federal positions and the amount of nominations Trump has made, but his poor management in the first month of his presidency has made the situation even worse. Of the 549 key positions in the government requiring appointees to be nominated by Trump for Senate confirmation, so far only 34 people have been nominated, with only 14 of those confirmed.

There currently is no deputy Secretary of State, and the same vacancy exists at the Treasury and Education departments. Trump has only nominated 3 of the 15 nominees needed at that level.

Trump recently fired an official at Housing and Urban Development, along with a top official dealing with Latin American issues on the National Security Council for the sins of saying critical things about him. So instead of the amount of vacancies going down, as with his predecessors in their first year, with Trump it has gone up.

1. #45 is not worried. It's not about responsiblity -- it's about blame.

Pres. GW Bush showed us that a Republican president can't be held responsible for a terrorist attack that occurs before September 11 of the first year of the term. So, no hurry on that kind of "protection". It will be Pres. Obama's responsibility.

3. DT is very adroit at dodging responsibility for anything he fucked up. That's what worries me.

They want an attack... they want a police state, suspension of elections, etc., that is their wet dream.
