President Donald Trump denounced Democratic efforts to block Brett Kavanaugh’s Supreme Court confirmation as a cynical “con job” on Tuesday. Too bad he does not know the meaning of the words con job.

Here are some of the definitions of those words

-free dictionary: an act or instance of duping, swindling, or persuading by deception.

-Merriam-Webster: Con: something (such as a ruse) used deceptively to gain another’s confidence, also : a confidence game : swindle

-Wikipedia: A confidence trick (synonyms include con, confidence game, confidence scheme, ripoff, scam and stratagem) is an attempt to defraud a person or group after first gaining their confidence, used in the classical sense of trust.

There is no con here.  No one is being swindled. There is an effort to convince a majority of senators that Brett Kavanugh should not be seated on the Supreme Court based on his behavior in high school and college.
