Trump famous 6 words, "I don't take responsibility at all."

Last edited Fri Mar 13, 2020, 07:35 PM - Edit history (1)

................. It is all over for Mr. Trump 3/13/20 ....in the afternoon...(approx. 4:10ET)

....Entire quote, exact words....""Yeah, I don't take responsibility at all because we were given a set of circumstances and we were given rules, regulations, and specifications from a different time,"
_______________________________________________________________________________________
..Who has been the President the last 3 years?..That is the stupidest thing he has ever said. This will be played over and over and over again. Very similar to Nixon's, "I am not a crook." Trump said this, and he hasn't got a clue what that means. He also said something about being required to follow rules and other things, and the delay has nothing to do with him....

And it ain't rocket science. Who is has been in charge of the federal government the last 3 years? Donald Duck? Mickey Mouse? Bugs Bunny? And he said those 6 words today. How will that be defended? You tell me. You cannot defend those 6 words.

Over 3 years ago! He watches TV, he tweets with those little sausage fingers of his, he golfs, he stuffs his ugly anus mouth with fast food and he holds hate rallies for his cult members. If he had been doing the work that a real President is supposed to be doing, we would have been prepared for this crisis. But no, not him, because he is the smartest fucking guy in the world who knows more than anyone about everything!

Can't do it now while the virus still in early stages. There would be blowback for politicizing something that is taking lives.

Another clip that needs to be shown is when Trump emphasized today this this would "float away." I'm surprised that has not received more attention. Trump quote some anonymous doctors who supposedly said coronavirus was going to float away. He gestured to mirror something floating away while saying, "I think that will turn out to be very accurate."
