Trump Rocks DC Deep State With Late-Night Proclamation And It's Never Happened Before!
Trump Says He's Broken All Modern Staffing Records
President Donald Trump claimed in a late-night post to his Truth Social platform that his administration has managed to staff up
in record time, with more than 2,200 appointments and positions filled just a few months into office.
"My Administration is breaking all modern Presidential Staffing Records since taking Office on January 20th. The Presidential
Personnel Office has made over 2,200 offers, all accepted, to exceptionally qualified Candidates, who are helping us MAKE AMERICA
GREAT AGAIN. We have sent more Nominations to the Senate than anyone ever before, and will continue to hire America First
Patriots as we work together to unleash our Nation's Golden Age!" the president wrote on his Truth Social platform.
While Trump has managed to quickly get most of his Cabinet picks confirmed, he withdrew Rep. Elise Stefanik's nomination as U.S.
ambassador to the United Nations on Thursday, arguing that the New York Republican's exit from the House posed an unacceptable
risk to advancing his marquee legislation.
"As we advance our America First Agenda, it is essential that we maintain EVERY Republican Seat in Congress. We must be unified
to accomplish our Mission, and Elise Stefanik has been a vital part of our efforts from the very beginning," Trump wrote on Truth
Social.
"I have asked Elise, as one of my biggest Allies, to remain in Congress to help me deliver Historic Tax Cuts, GREAT Jobs, Record
Economic Growth, a Secure Border, Energy Dominance, Peace Through Strength, and much more, so we can MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN,"
he added.
With a House majority of 218-213, the GOP can only afford to lose two votes on any party-line bill. Stefanik's anticipated
resignation to assume the UN role would have jeopardized the progress of crucial border, energy, and tax legislation scheduled to
reach President Trump's desk by Memorial Day, the New York Post reported.
Sources familiar with the shake-up said that the Stefanik withdrawal was "absurd" and "a surprise," the outlet claimed.
"It's a surprise. It's a bombshell. Trump made a decision - and that's it," said one New York Republican official who requested
anonymity.
The congresswoman was expected to be confirmed by the Senate on April 2, with an initial news conference scheduled at UN
headquarters in Turtle Bay for the following day.
Before the White House announced the nomination, a source close to the administration revealed "there's been recent talks between
[the] White House and Speaker [Mike Johnson]'s office about if it's in [the] best interest of [the] House Majority and
president's agenda to pull the nomination." That source told The Post that the decision was really "all about the math."
"With a very tight Majority, I don't want to take a chance on anyone else running for Elise's seat," Trump said in his statement.
"There are others that can do a good job at the United Nations. Therefore, Elise will stay in Congress, rejoin the House
Leadership Team, and continue to fight for our amazing American People."
Johnson (R-La.) stated in a press release that he intended to "invite" Stefanik to immediately rejoin the leadership team, even
though her former role as conference chair is now being held by Rep. Lisa McClain (R-Mich.).
"Elise Stefanik is truly a great leader and a devoted patriot. Today's selfless decision shows America what those of us who work
with her already know. She is deeply devoted to her country and fully committed to see President Trump's agenda succeed in
Congress," the speaker noted. "There is no doubt she would have served with distinction as our ambassador to the United Nations,
but we are grateful for her willingness to sacrifice that position and remain in Congress to help us save the country."
Stefanik,40, was among the first Trump nominees to undergo vetting, and she cleared the Senate Foreign Relations Committee by a
voice vote on January 30.

"Trump Derangement Syndrome" Is a Real Mental Condition
All you need to know about "Trump Derangement Syndrome," or TDS.
"Trump Derangement Syndrome (TDS) is a mental condition in which a person has been driven effectively insane due to their dislike
of Donald Trump, to the point at which they will abandon all logic and reason."
Justin Raimondo, the editorial director of Antiwar.com, wrote a piece in the Los Angeles Times in 2016 that broke TDS down into
three distinct phases or stages:
"In the first stage of the disease, victims lose all sense of proportion. The president-elect's every tweet provokes a firestorm,
as if 140 characters were all it took to change the world."
"The mid-level stages of TDS have a profound effect on the victim's vocabulary: Sufferers speak a distinctive language consisting
solely of hyperbole."
"As TDS progresses, the afflicted lose the ability to distinguish fantasy from reality."
The Point here is simple: TDS is, in the eyes of its adherents, the knee-jerk opposition from liberals to anything and everything
Trump does. If Trump announced he was donating every dollar he's ever made, TDS sufferers would suggest he was up to something
nefarious, according to the logic of TDS. There's nothing - not. one. thing. - that Trump could do or say that would be received
positively by TDSers.
The history of Trump Derangement Syndrome actually goes back to the early 2000s - a time when the idea of Trump as president was
a punch line for late-night comics and nothing more.
Wikipedia traces its roots to "Bush Derangement Syndrome" - a term first coined by the late conservative columnist Charles
Krauthammer back in 2003. The condition, as Krauthammer defined it, was "the acute onset of paranoia in otherwise normal people
in reaction to the policies, the presidency - nay - the very existence of George W. Bush."
