Mainecat Posted April 9, 2020 Share Posted April 9, 2020 It’s never him.... As pandemic deepens, Trump cycles through targets to blame https://apnews.com/58f1b869354970689d55ccae37c540f3 By JONATHAN LEMIRE 26 minutes ago As he tries to distance his White House from the mounting death toll, Trump has cycled through a long list of possible scapegoats in an attempt to distract from what critics say were his own administration’s missteps in slowing the spread of the coronavirus on American shores. The strategy relies on validation from supportive media personalities and Republicans, evoking White House tactics during other challenging times for Trump’s presidency. The effort is taking on more urgency during a once-in-a-century health crisis playing out just seven months before voters go to the polls. The list of those Trump has blamed is lengthy, and shifting: Democratic governors for alleged mismanagement at the front lines of the crisis. The media, first for hyping the threat of the virus and then for not giving the administration credit for its response. Federal inspectors general, believed to be conspiring to make the White House look bad. The Obama administration, for not adequately preparing. China, initially absolved of responsibility, then accused of covering up worrisome health data. And now the WHO, from which Trump has threatened to withhold funding.

Opinion or not it’s what he does every day from firing professionals on his staff to removing generals in the field. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
