Donald whines about his ambassadors [1]

Donald is angry that his ambassadors aren't being confirmed fast enough for his satisfaction. Maybe it's because he's asking the Senate to confirm werewolves like Herschel Walker.
Other nominations are payback for greasing Trump's palm with campaign donations, or outright bribes. If he can sell pardon, he can easily sell ambassadorship.
Today, while the stock market still burns as brokers realize there's still a 10% sales tax, let's stop calling it tariffs, on everything, and after China retaliated with 84%, Trump re-upped theirs to 145%. It's like a game of poker.
Trump can't get those donors overseas fast enough so they can ignore the Foreign Corruption Practices Act.
"Qualified and Respected Ambassadors..." Like Herschel Walker, and they aren't ambassadors until they get confirmed. Don't make it sound like they already are.
"Faraway Lands." Sure, why don't you send ones to Heard and McDonald Islands? There's no human beings there, so they would fit right in.
"Democrat Senators take the maximum time for every one of them, even though they were confirmed by a Bipartisan Support..."
Aren't you a little confused here Donald? If they were confirmed by bipartisan support, then they would already be ambassadors and you have nothing to complain about. It must be that Jedi mind trick again.
"A process that should take a matter of minutes is forced into taking months, making it hard Ambassador's families..."
You're still confused. They aren't ambassadors yet. They have to be confirmed by the Senate. They have to be qualified, and you haven't presented a single qualified person yet in all your cabinet nominations, and all your agency heads. Even the unimportant people like Karoline Leavitt are stupid and unqualified.
As far as making it hard on families, you didn't say a damn thing when Tommy Tuberville was holding up military promotions for the entire Armed Forces for almost a year. What the hell do you think happened to their families? That was exceedingly difficult for real people who don't have billions of dollars like your ambassadors. You didn't say anything because the Armed Forces had a policy to pay for transportation for ladies needing health care. Health care for women is not always abortions. Idiot.
Now I know that you're not thinking about what you're writing. What you said next is incomprehensible.
"In a true sense, in numerous cases, what they do is actually a Threat to National Security."
Okay, that makes sense. What your ambassadors do is a national security threat. I'll agree with that.
"The level of hostility is not to be believed!"
You ain't seen nothing yet! After confirming your disastrous cabinet, Democrats finally realized they have one avenue left to thwart your insane administration. And that's to leave ambassadors in place that Joe Biden nominated. That's sticking in your craw more than anything else. You aren't getting your way. Boohoo!
Whitehouse.gov.Just got a major redo in the last hour. Now, besides the picture of Trump pointing into ya-ya land, you've got to scroll past a stupid, grinning, JD Vance before you can get to Executive Actions to find out what new disasters have occurred. I always hated looking at that Trump picture, but being forced to see Vance was unnecessary.
Crap. One hour later Whitehouse.gov has dropped the picture of Vance, but now in his place is a second picture of Trump. That scowling presidential portrait photo he did to go with his mugshot. Trump must have gotten jealous
It's been changed a third time. Now the picture has a side scroll of Trump, then Vance, then Melania (in b&w) and finally a non-existent cabinet.
A version of Abbott & Costello's Who's On First sketch about Chinese officials.
