"It's Everybody Else's Fault!"

Guess where that comes from:

The Washington Post reports:

“I don’t take responsibility at all.” That’s what President Trump said this month when asked whether he takes responsibility for the slow rollout of testing that public health officials say handicapped the country’s ability to protect Americans from the coronavirus.

But Trump’s desire to not take responsibility could also be extrapolated to the coronavirus crisis in general. Trump has thrown blame in nearly a dozen different directions for the virus’s spread and different aspects of the response to it.

He really does blame -- or wants us to blame -- everyone but him for his regime's inept response to the pandemic.

But his ratings are beating everyone. Says he.

And did anyone expect anything different?
