Trump hit the Democrats twice this morning, once for slow walking his cabinet nominees and the other for protesting his immigration executive order:
FOX NEWS – Hours after he sacked the acting attorney general for refusing to defend his immigration order, President Trump took to Twitter to hammer Senate Democrats for slow-walking the confirmation process of his nominee to head the Justice Department.
The Senate Judiciary Committee was set to meet Tuesday morning regarding Sen. Jeff Sessions’ nomination to be attorney general. But Sessions’ initial hearing was all the way back on Jan. 10, and only a handful of Trump’s Cabinet picks have been voted on, a dozen days into his presidency.
“When will the Democrats give us our Attorney General and rest of Cabinet! They should be ashamed of themselves! No wonder D.C. doesn’t work!” Trump tweeted Tuesday morning.

Today the Senate committees are voting on some of his Cabinet members, including Jeff Sessions. Whether or not the entire Senate will vote on them today remains to be seen.
Here’s where Trump hit Pelosi and Schumer for protesting his executive order:
Trump also used his early-morning tweeting to hammer Democrats – namely House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi and Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer – who protested his executive order on Monday.
“Nancy Pelosi and Fake Tears Chuck Schumer held a rally at the steps of The Supreme Court and mic did not work (a mess)-just like Dem party!” he tweeted.

Notice in his tweet he’s now calling Schumer “Fake Tears Chuck Schumer”! That’s funny!
By the way, this is the mic fail that Trump is referring to:
“Is somebody going to deal with this?”
That was awesome. I love seeing Nancy Pelosi epic fail!
As an aside, I do enjoy it when Trump hits back like this at the nonsense the Dems are spewing. I know it’s not ‘presidential’ in the way that he does it, but I don’t mind it as much when it’s aimed at Democrats being ridiculous.
