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.
