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 presidents attacks on congressional Democrats may seem predictable, hes also reportedly plotting to pin blame on some of his own appointees should the economy turn south.
Hes 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, hell blame them too.

(23,065 posts)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.
