In a fiery social media post on Tuesday, U.S. President-elect, Donald Trump blasted Senate Democrats for what he describes as efforts to “improperly stall and delay” the confirmation process of his nominees.

Trump, who claimed a “historic landslide” victory and a strong mandate from the American people, accused Democrats of attempting to disrupt the process with “all sorts of tricks.”

“We just won a Historic Landslide and Mandate from the American People,” Trump wrote, urging Republicans to remain firm in the face of the opposition’s tactics.

He expressed frustration with the delays, insisting that the country has pressing issues that need immediate attention, most of which, according to him, were caused by Democrats.

Trump called on Republicans to act swiftly and decisively. “Republicans must not allow them to do that. We have a country to run, and many big problems to solve,” he added, stressing the importance of moving forward with his agenda.

His comments come at a time when the Senate is gearing up for confirmation battles for several of his high-profile nominees, with many key positions still vacant.

The ongoing battle between Republicans and Democrats in the Senate promises to be a defining factor in how the next phase of Trump’s post-presidential leadership unfolds.

Trump’s words were a direct rallying cry to his party, urging them to “be smart and tough” in the face of Democratic opposition. A
