Hey Republicans...

Explain to me why Trump wants to make Recess Appointments when he holds all three branches of government? It makes no sense, unless those you nominated, are not going to get pass the senate confirmation.

Which should tell us everything we need to know about who he has nominated...

Yes, it does say a lot. I’m guessing it’s just a step to awards unifying power under the supreme executive. Maybe something will slow it down, but I’m guessing longstanding political traditions that get in Trump’s way will keep falling until most don’t even notice. Sort of like how scandals seem to have reduced republican effects. I’m guessing Putin’s republican kompromat gets less valuable each election cycle.

So he's appointing those he knows personally, like his personal lawyers, or those he has seen on TV.
