He directed Mike Pence to be in charge of the whole COVID response, and with Mike’s trusting, stupid thinking, put Fauci and Birx in charge.
There’s always an excuse and someone else to blame in the world of Trump. Trump stood there at the briefings with Fauci, indicating his approval of the Fear Fuhrer, so DJT owns the mess.
In fact it’s amazing to see the excuses for 2024 already being laid in case they are needed after Trump’s loss. Back in the day when I was in the building industry it was called “developing the big lie”. It was a preemptive statement that evolved over time, intended to gaslight and shift blame onto another party. Trump is the grandmaster and his acolytes have learned well. It’s second nature for politicians.
We need a no excuses candidate for President this time around.
