He was unaware of all the going on behind the scenes at the CDC like most us. Now many conservatives are retroactively attacking him for what both he and they did not realize until after he was out of office.
I don’t know
Trump had no choice on Covid
It was a crazy uproar
It served its purpose
One thing he learned
Don’t trust the GOP
use them but never ever trust them
Like it or not, the guy at the top gets the credit and the blame for a lot of things that he was not directly responsible for. You can complain about how the people under Trump were at fault but Trump still bears the responsibility. He has proven to be a poor judge of people, and he has to take the blame for everything one of his appointees did or allowed to happen, because he chose them. You guys give Trump credit for a lot of positive things that were not his doing, but want to absolve him of anything negative. That doesn’t work. You can’t have it both ways and neither can he. That is one of the things that turns me off most about Trump - he never accepts responsibility when he screws up, he just finds someone to attack and blame. Truman had a sign on his desk that said “the buck stops here.” He knew he was ultimately responsible for everything that happened in his administration. Trump seems to be a master of dodging the buck.
