Okay, we all knew this was coming, Trump blames Biden

[PatSeg]

Trump will never take responsibility for anything, ever.

Trump has someone new to blame for the Coronavirus response, Joe Biden

On Thursday morning, Donald Trump took aim at Joe Biden with a fresh series of tweets that blamed Barack Obama and Biden for “complicating” the CDC and for an H1N1 flu response that was a “disaster.” Trump then had the absolute audacity to claim that since taking the White House he had cut “all the red tape,” making the CDC and other agencies better able to meet a pandemic threat.

The idea that Barack Obama is somehow to blame for what everyone agrees is a completely bungled response to the novel coronavirus is handy, especially for a White House where assigning blame is often the top priority in any situation, and even more so when Joe Biden looks set to win the Democratic nomination. But it’s also completely ridiculous. And the idea that Trump has done anything that improved the situation is more ridiculous still.

Trump begins by claiming that his “closing the borders” slowed the progress of coronavirus in the United States. It’s a fiction that Trump has used over and over, in an effort to draw a connection between his xenophobic anti-immigration policies and the pandemic. It’s the same reason that Trump described the novel coronavirus as “a foreign virus” in his address to the nation, before putting in his utterly arbitrary ban on some Europeans from some nations flying to the U.S. It’s also the reason many Republicans have begun referring to COVID-19 as “Wuhan flu.”

Of course, Trump didn’t close any borders “early.” In fact, he still hasn’t closed any borders. He restricted some flights directly from China—which, shocker, doesn’t have a border with the United States—and that was it.

3. Yep

His ridiculous charade is coming to an end. There will be the few die hard loyalists who won't see the truth, even if they are dying of the coronavirus, but everyone else is finally waking up to what a gigantic fraud the man is. And sadly, he told the world who and what he was - they should have listened the first time.

12. Brings to mind

how many people died because Nixon lied about the Vietnam War purely for political reasons. The victims are just collateral damage. What kind of person does things like that?

2. If Obama and Biden did such a miserable job, why didn't the "very stable genius" correct it? . . .

Ah well, another one of those mysteries we mere mortals can only ponder.

4. How much did he cut the CDC by?

80% was it? The dude is dumb and everybody all over the planet can see it except maybe the morons that follow him. He still wants to do rallies and that's the part I don't get. What kind of germaphobe would risk that kind of exposure? Then again, what kind of germaphobe would get it on with a pornstar without protection? And that was back in the days when HIV and AIDS was front and center.

6. Apparently his need for approval and adulation

overrides even his fear of germs. Meanwhile, he has been shaking hands with an awful lot of people, some who may have the virus. Wouldn't that be ironic?

[padah513]

7. Yes it would

Karma's been trying to catch him for years and I wouldn't want to be him when she finally does.

10. Yes

He has built up quite a debt, with interest.
