His appointees are so corrupt and incompetent, they probably couldn’t pass muster even in a Republican controlled Senate. Also, this probably inoculates him from the 25th. But if you’re a President with even a shred of a doubt about being 25th, you shouldn’t be President.
Heinrich Himmler would be proud!
Yes, life is much easier without following the Constitution or worrying about those pesky Senate confirmations.
On has a lot more flexibility if you don’t have to worry about picking someone that can make it though a confirmation hearing.
Move on them like a bitch, Donnie?
Old dog - new trick conundrum.
tRump likes to to keep one step ahead of cabinet member indictments; fortunately for him, the pool of corrupt cronies is so deep, he has no trouble finding the next limited-tenure potential felon
more flexibility

3 / The “acting” thing makes this even more of a bad reality tv show: Big Brother: Executive Branch Edition.
Getting somebody to do those jobs that others ’ just won’t do ’ ….
has taken on new meaning —
[what else is new] —
Is there a law that says how long an acting cabinet Secretary can be acting without confirmation?
And do acting secretaries have the same powers (for example 25th amendment) as confirmed Secretaries
Translation: I prefer to bypass the Constitutional requirement of Senate advice and consent and to act as a dictator.
Often you can see a general thrust, however crude, in the word salad. But I have literally no idea what he means by this. “Easier to make moves?” What moves? And why easier? It’s classic Harry Frankfurt bullshit, meant to persuade without regard for truth or falsity, and so far from either the words signify nothing.
That ball’s in the Senate’s court ……
But my opinion ……
