White House points fingers as it plots coronavirus stimulus

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

The White House descended into a flurry of recriminations and meetings on Monday as staffers quarreled over how to control a deepening public health and economic crisis.

While President Donald Trump previewed a slate of fiscal stimulus options from the White House Monday night, other aides privately continued to debate the seriousness of the coronavirus. Officials, like Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin, had been urging staff not to overreact, while other aides advocated dramatic measures, such as shutting down borders, stopping cruise ship travel and expanding travel restrictions.

Then there was the blame game.

One senior administration official blamed the national security staff for bungling the early coronavirus response. Other aides blamed the vice president’s office, which has taken the lead on the response. “The Office of the Vice President seems way in over their heads,” one White House official said, referring to the coordination and messaging. “They don’t know what they’re doing.”

The party of personal responsibility.

1. Trump set the tone. He blames everyone and

takes no responsibility, so his money grubbing sycophants follow his lead. Meanwhile, little is getting done to help the people.

2. Yeah, that's our Donnie...

“Your Excellency, we have a huge public health crisis. The Novel Coronavirus could kill 20 million American citizens. What do you want to do?”

“Close the borders, cut taxes and repeal Obamacare.”

“That’s what you always want to do, but it won’t work this time.”

“I don’t care whether it will work. As long as all 20 million dead are Democrats, it’ll be fine.”

3. It is Trump's fault...PERIOD!

He is the head of the administrative branch. He fired the pandemic response team. He focused on trying to stop public opinion about the stock market rather than responding to the virus. He appointed Pence.

It is his fault, his decisions, his lack of action, his selection of the wrong staff to respond.


No matter what he says, the situation as is and when it gets worse, will be all on him.

You know goddamned well that if this took some kind of miraculous turn and things started improving that he would take ALL the credit. He should take ALL the blame.
