Pope still Catholic, bear still relieves himself in woods, Pelosi on Trump's Recession Blame List



Republican sources tell Politico that Trump has several potential scapegoats to choose from in the event of a recession, starting with congressional Democrats and likely incoming House Speaker Nancy Pelosi.

“[Trump] is more strategic about setting up the assignment of blame than people give him credit for,” one Republican source tells the publication.

Although the president’s attacks on congressional Democrats may seem predictable, he’s also reportedly plotting to pin blame on some of his own appointees should the economy turn south.

“He’s going to blame Wilbur Ross for some of these problems once Ross leaves,” a Republican described as “close to the White House” tells Politico. “And if any of his advisers walk, he’ll blame them too.”

He will never ever accept personal responsibility for the fact that it's his tax cuts, tariffs, and huge defense increase that have unstabilized our economy - it's not the House, it's not Ross, it's not the 'FED, it's him, his tax cuts and his defense bill. Of course what the plan was all along was to do this and lie saying it's help economy, middle class. Then when that failed, as it would 100% would, then blame Social Security, Medicare & Medicaid and cut them so poor end up paying for great increases in wealth to the already rich while they struggle to survive.

though people are tired of seeing rump blame others already and toss them away like a used tire. This blame game doesn't go far after a while. In the real world people can see w/ their own eyes what's going on.
