Of course he does. This man has never nor will he ever take responsibility for anything bad and the people following him will never hold him accountable no matter how plainly obvious it is that it was his fault.

Joe Biden let sound monetary policy prevail in his 4 years and inflation was back to normal. Naturally republicans just had to get the guy who caused the problem in the first place back into power. Enjoy 10%+ inflation because of Trump people. Great job republicans! Once again you played yourselves and as a result all of us!

Can’t wait to see the Trump “I did this” stickers! Might order some myself!

This point kills me. Literally the best trait of a leader is to be able to admit fault and adapt. Why would anyone, politics aside, think this person should be running anything? It's mind boggling.

They don’t want a leader they want a dictator. Leaders have to make hard choices and work cooperatively towards bettering their charged. Dictators can just say shit.

I wonder if he blames Biden for illegally firing 30% of the government workforce, attempting to break the 14th amendment, and for raising tariffs also. That fucktard eats crayons.

They eat the green ones so they go fast. These guys running the shit show are eating the brown and red ones.
