The buck stops here


Image mine

He is never going to take responsibility but the buck does stop with him. He is responsible for this. He has done fuck all except deny the seriousness of it – including his all cap shouty bollocks from last night, saying that this will all be over in 2 weeks. He derided it at rallies, calling it a hoax. He encouraged deep state conspiracy theories. He literally tried to make it all about him. He tells untruths at news conferences. He tells stories about actions being taken to safeguard the public. He brazenly told folks they could go to work even if sick. He is trying to sell the idea of a cure that could literally kill people if it interacts with their heart medication. He has done nothing to protect the lives of American citizens, anything proactive is happening on a state level. He is using the opportunity to try and give massive corporate uplifts including to his own organisation. Because of the appalling lack of leadership at a federal level – the Trump go to defence of gaslighting the nation cannot work against a virus – the virus has got hold – and for all of this he is responsible.
The buck does stop here. Wouldn’t it something if there was a President who understood that? *Sigh*

Buck stops here, as you referenced, and get out of the kitchen. Somehow this silverspoon twit thought there wasn't going to be any heat in a job that takes place in the freakin' oven.
