title: gallup americans more confident in trump since election  daily wire
text: media claim trump transition chaos trumps way ahead of schedule by ben shapiro november   
  the media desperately in search of a narrative to cast the incoming trump administration as dangerously incompetent are once again overplaying their hands instead of focusing on the nepotistic fact that trump relies heavily on his soninlaw jared kushner and his daughter ivanka  he invited them to a state meeting with japan  theyre trying to claim that he just isnt moving fast enough on appointments 
  thats nuts 
  barack obama didnt name his picks for secretary of state defense or attorney general until december  nearly a month after the november   election george w bush didnt name his picks for state defense or attorney general until middecember december  for colin powell december  for donald rumsfeld december  for john ashcroft bill clinton didnt name his picks for those positions until at least december  george hw bush was the fastest off the mark  he named james baker secretary of state the day after the november  election ronald reagan waited until december  to get started jimmy carter waited until december  
  were still waiting on trumps state and defense picks but hes already out of the gate with senator jeff sessions for attorney general its november  
  the media are so eager to bury trumps administration that they are falling all over themselves to do so instead of soberly covering potential problems with top level picks  steve bannon for example is a rotten pick  but not because hes a racist or antisemite  the media keep proclaiming the end is near this sort of alarmism doesnt convince americans who dont really see why theres any giant rush to appoint people who arent going to be formally considered by the senate until january  anyway 
  if this election was about repudiation of the media  and it was  the media arent doing themselves any favors when they promulgate factfree narratives while simultaneously attempting to label conservative outlets fake news for years americans have assumed that the leftist media are ladling them fake news each day each day the media seem determined to prove them right tags
