If it were any other poster I'd be tempted to quote before you realized your mistake and edited, but I'm pretty sure you don't have the self-awareness for that.

Your devolvement into full on prog filth SJW is nearly complete.

And yet the world has managed to keep turning.
Ambassadors in this day and age are relatively unimportant. This isn't the 1800's when communications took months.

It's scary that stating facts still gets downvotes from defensive trump fans

Those are all government positions requiring nominations. The OP is discussing ambassadorships.

Tbf, Trump's tweet said "my people, including ambassadors".
Obviously he intentionally pointed out ambassadors for effect, which the data shows isn't that big of a deal, but what he said isn't technically wrong and veers out of the lane of senility and into the realm of taking shite out of context.
Other than the fact he can't be filibustered, of course, which is the primary indictment on the tweet

This chart , provided by cajun, proves TWO things.
First it proves that Trump has NOT nominated as many folks as quickly as his predecessors did.
Second, it proves that the Democrats are playing politics more than usual and slow crawling even the most mundane of nominations.
Let me tell you , if you've ever dealt with an Embassy , you are quite aware that the Ambassador is a figurehead, it literally doesn't matter who you put into such a position, at all. Except in a political sense, meaning you usually place someone who is friends with said country into the position.
But the work is done by other people. The Ambassador is almost universally simply a rubber stamp from the State Department and nothing more.
Meaning, traditionally the Senate doesn't give a frick who POTUS wants to put into that position, nominations are presented and approved on a pro forma basis, except this time, this time the Dems are demanding 3 fricking days to discuss EVERY single nomination before voting, which slows down the entire process to almost nothing.
That is a fact.

No shite you fricking idiot, do you really believe that filibuster is the only way to slow down a nomination process?

And of course even with a minority and doing away with the filibuster there are ways the Democrats can slow crawl the nominations, and they ARE doing it.
What a shitty fricking excuse... Why doesn't Trump focus a little of his twitter rage on his own party that has the power to ram through any of the nominations they want?
Of course, we all know why. It's because Trump can't even come up with original thoughts to tweet angrily. He just rants about whatever the airheads at Fox and Friends tell him to.
If his staff could just convince him to replace Fox and Friends with Popeye and Pals, the nation would be much better off (except of course for the ridiculously excessive subsidies to spinach farmers Trump would start pushing).

I realize Trumpkins don't like being confronted with the fact that they've been duped into supporting a man-child, but even you should be capable of a better deflection than this.

Why are you such a lame partisan shite head? For real. People like you do not help ANYTHING
I VERY clearly stated that Trump has not nominated enough people, but that literally has nothing to do with the fact that the Senate has confirmed a FAR lower percentage of his nominations at this point than they did any of his predecessors. FAR lower percentage.
Stop seeing everything in binary terms.
