"I take no responsibility" megathread

[Anonymous]

Can we start a new thread to document all the things Trump insists are someone else's fault?

Here's a new one for today - it's. Yeah.

Whose name is on the check?

Testing fiasco - also not his fault.

President Donald Trump on Friday deflected blame for his administration’s lagging ability to test Americans for the coronavirus outbreak, insisting instead — without offering evidence — that fault lies with his predecessor, Barack Obama.

This is fun! Does shirking responsibility ahead of time to avoid blame later count? Here he is on hospital equipment.

President Donald Trump shrugged off responsibility for providing more medical equipment and gear to strapped hospitals combating coronavirus, saying Thursday there are "millions" of masks available to workers but that it was up to individual states to ensure they are well stocked amid the pandemic.

He blames Obama for the terrible state of the strategic stockpile.

At least three times in the past week, however, Trump has sought to blame former President Barack Obama’s administration for the current state of the stockpile, which has been unable to meet the demand for additional supplies expected to be needed to treat people with COVID-19, the disease caused by the novel coronavirus, or to protect the doctors and nurses caring for those patients.

An unemployment check from the state? Not Trump’s name.

Of course it's Obama's fault for not having a vaccine prepared for a pandemic that erupted three years after leaving office.

Trump on Twitter today

Why should the people and taxpayers of America be bailing out poorly run states (like Illinois, as example) and cities, in all cases Democrat run and managed, when most of the other states are not looking for bailout help? I am open to discussing anything, but just asking?

This one is my new favorite. Why should we bail out those irresponsible states? A mere days after bailing out irresponsible corporations?
You can't make this stuff up.
Here is your fiscal responsibility GOP.

It's funny that he says to blame Democrats for slow unemployment response. Especially considering how hard conservatives work to destroy such programs. The slow response is a feature, not a bug! I'm sure the conservatives are reading this with glee.

I'll be really curious to see how they actually put together a Trump library. I have to believe they'll want to delete so much of his history there won't be much left to include.
