Trump says "hundreds" of nominees have been waiting for Senate confirmation for three years. In fact, 82 nominations are currently pending. Another 150 positions are vacant with no one nominated by Trump. https://t.co/LkfxCCnjvh— Peter Baker (@peterbakernyt) April 15, 2020

One Wall Street CEO to me on Trump and the economy: "I really don’t understand how they are communicating on this. He’s got to stop talking about turning the economy back on and start talking about making people feel safe."https://t.co/aWhKTQhjWF— Ben White (@morningmoneyben) April 16, 2020
At some point, people stop listening.
A WH official tells me that, if TRUMP uses his authority to adjourn Congress to make recess appointments, the focus of those appointments will be nominees who are "mission-critical to slowing the spread of COVID-19."— Kenneth P. Vogel (@kenvogel) April 16, 2020
That would seem to rule out judges & @FEC nominee Trey Trainor
Still the little matter of Congress going along with it; and if they don't? Even the Roberts court won't try to order Congress to go home. (And honestly, with Trump spewing errant nonsense like this and telling lies with every breath, why would any sensible person take anything the White House tells them at face value?)
