October 12, 2018: Trump Always Takes Credit, Always Denies Blame

 

10/12/18: President Trump never apologizes for anything and never admits he’s wrong. Even when his own words prove he’s wrong. 

If anything good happens while he’s in charge, he hogs every iota of credit. If anything bad happens it’s somebody else’s fault. This week the stock market has taken a dive. Trump insists you can’t blame him. If the market goes up, it’s because his policies are magic. If the market tumbles, his policies are not to blame. The problem now, he claims, is the Federal Reserve System. Trump calls it “loco,” says the policies of the central bank are “ridiculous.” The board members are “going wild.” 

The market loses 1,300 points in two days – shaving two trillion dollars off the books – and it’s not Trump’s fault in the slightest.

DID WE MENTION that Trump criticized Obama for campaigning in 2012, while people were still recovering from Super Storm Sandy? 

That is a rhetorical question. 

Where is Trump this fine Friday evening? He is campaigning in Lebanon, Ohio. (See: 10/11/18 and 10/13/18.) People in Florida and other states are still recovering from Hurricane Michael.

Crowd at the rally in Lebanon, Ohio.
