PRESIDENT TRUMP: “I INHERITED A MESS!”, NO, YOU ARE THE “MESS”

Trump even blamed his own students at Trump University for the school’s failure.

 

According to the current president, he is never responsible for anything that is negative.  His finger-pointing is always at someone else, and never at himself.

 

 

The former Republican President, George W. Bush had said that he was “ushering in a new era of personal responsibility,” but under Trump, that era disappeared.  Everything that doesn’t go as planned is always the responsibility of others, never of Trump’s.

 

 

Just look at a few of Trump’s “blame games” that comes to mind:

 

>>> Trump blames any future terrorist attacks on the Hawaiian federal judge who blocked his travel ban and on the overall federal court system.

 

 

>>> Trump blamed the airport protests of his travel ban on a Delta Air Lines airport systems outage problems and on “the tears of Senator Schumer,” whatever that means.

 

 

>>> Trump blamed the former Obama administration for the chemical weapons attack by Syria’s Assad regime.

 

 

>>> Trump also blamed his predecessor for “one of the worst deals I have ever witnessed,” with Iran.

 

 

>>> Trump blames all his predecessors: “Whether it’s the Middle East, whether it’s North Korea, whether it’s so many other things, whether it’s in our country, horrible trade deals — I inherited a mess.”

 

 

>>> Trump blamed a Yemen counterterrorism raid that didn’t go according to his approved plan, both on his generals and of course, on Obama.

 

 

>>> Trump blamed his own decision to remove national security adviser Michael Flynn on the intelligence community, on the media and on the Democrats for “trying to cover up” Hillary Clinton’s loss.

 

 

>>> Trump even blamed his loss of the popular vote to Clinton on voter fraud.

 

 

>>> But it’s not just Trump doing the blaming, Trump White House Adviser, Kellyanne Conway blamed Australia for leaking a transcript of their prime minister’s contentious phone call with Trump.

 

 

>>> Then Trump himself suggested that an unidentified somebody might be to blame for anti-Semitic cemetery vandalism.

 

 

>>> Trump blamed Rep. Elijah Cummings (D-MD) for failing to schedule a meeting with him on the cost of prescription drugs.

 

 

>>> Trump blamed Senate Democrats for not confirming his nominees, while the New York Times noted this week that 21 out of 28 Treasury Department posts haven’t even been nominated.

 

 

>>> Trump blamed Obama and “his people” and the Democrats, both for confidential leaks and for all the widespread public protests against his administration.

 

 

>>> Trump blamed Obama for a nonexistent wiretap of Trump Tower.

 

 

>>> Trump’s aides blamed British intelligence for being involved in the supposed wiretap of Trump towers.

 

 

>>> Then Trump then falsely blamed Fox News for implicating the British.

 

 

>>> Trump blamed his staff for giving him bad information when he falsely claimed that he had the largest electoral victory since Ronald Reagan.

 

 

>>> Trump blamed Nordstrom for treating his daughter Ivanka Trump “so unfairly” by dropping her fashion line, (Nordstrom said it was because the Trump product wasn’t selling.)

 

 

>>> Trump blamed the media for playing down the crowd size at his inauguration, for portraying him (accurately) as sympathetic to WikiLeaks.

 

 

>>> Trump blamed the “Lamestream Media” for not telling the truth about Obamacare and for failing to report that the White House is running “so smoothly.”…..Right!!!

 

 

>>> Trump actually blamed Clinton for starting his “birther” movement….? 

 

 

>>> Trump blamed Mexico for exporting criminals.

 

 

>>> Trump even blamed his failure to release tax returns on an audit, and he blames China for all the problems with North Korea and he blamed George W. Bush for the 9/11 attacks.

 

 

>>> Trump blamed the Democrats for the long-running congressional and FBI investigation into his contacts with Russia.

 

 

>>> Trump blames the intelligence community for leaking information about his contacts with Russia, comparing their actions to those seen in Russia or Nazi Germany.

 

 

>>> Trump blames the media for inventing the narrative that he criticized the intelligence community, which he still does.

 

 

>>> Trump had even blamed his students at Trump University for the school’s failure.

 

 

>>> Trump has said that Kate Middleton had “only herself to blame” for the paparazzi’s topless photos.

 

 

>>> Finally, Trump blamed the failure of the GOP health-care bill on: Democrats, moderate Republicans, conservative Republicans of the House Freedom Caucus, the Heritage Foundation, the Club for Growth and, indirectly, GOP House Speaker Ryan.

 

 

But the worn may be starting to turn as the real come-back at President Trump came from the GOP Senior Republican Senator and American War Hero, John McCain, as he hit back at the president.  McCain  blamed Trump’s hands-off attitude toward al-Assad’s Syrian regime for encouraging al-Assad to use chemical weapons against his own people.  The senator called Trump’s attitude, “another disgraceful chapter in American history.”

 

 

No, Trump did not inherit a mess.  The nation he received was in a much better position than what his predecessor received from the nation’s former Republican President Bush.

 

 

The reality is that the American people inherited a mess when they got Donald J. Trump as the latest, Commander-in-Chief.
