The Bucks Stops Over There Somewhere: Trump Refuses To Own COVID-19 Failures | Talking Points Memo

It’s pretty clear that Trump’s parents never said “NO!” to him. He is a rotten, spoiled, self-centered infant.

That is 90 percent of the job. To take responsibility. What does he want, golf 24/7.

This is his ‘Heckofajob Brownie’ moment. The one for which he will be forever remembered, the one quoted for decades.

This presser was The Coronavirus Celebrity Apprentice. It was all staged as a show. This was his doing. All of this could’ve been done without all the glitz, glamor, slavering praise, and lies. The declaration of a national emergency is not a game show. People are sick and some are dying. The China travel restrictions began after the virus was here and cryptic transmission happening. He is the worst person in the world to have as president during this time.

Anyone else, a statement like that would have effectively ended their chance at reelection, but more and more I think that Trump is simply a reflection of his spite-fueled irresponsible voters. On this level he is them.

It matters not that you think you’re not to blame, it only matters that voters know you are.

It was a very good speech, it put me in a deep sleep within minutes and my blood pressure remained normal. Thank you fearless leader.

As a sadistic narcissist he isn’t capable of taking responsibility. I’m not sure why people keep revisiting this question.

“We were given a set of circumstances, and we were given rules, regulations and specifications from a different time,”

This may well be the first time I’ve ever heard Trump claim to be limited by rules, laws, or anything else. Since when has the narcissist in chief, dictator wannabe, ever been limited by anything that sets boundaries?

This shows just how powerless and impotent Trump really is. The emperor’s cloths are now off for all to see.

Mentioning this again, to keep it forward…
My doc friends here in NYC tell me Trump is injecting Testosterone, and they know where he (and other rich guys) get it. It’s a lab here in the city.
One of the side effects is orange complexion. Also, bigger head, bigger nose, others all fit in.
Combining that with English Sudafed (shown in the taco bowl shot) is quite a combo for Mr. Studio 54/Epstein buddy/hooker picker-upper…

Ok, the House will vote on this and then it moves to Moscow Mitch who will do nothing until Monday. But the Speaker got her part done. She is a tireless good and caring woman. We owe her a ton.
