very state and local people he will attempt to blame are FAR more able and equipped to deal with this crisis than he will ever be.

He can talk shit about Cuomo until he passes out, but Trump's "leadership" doesn't hold a candle to the Governor's and everyone can see it.

The only reason we aren't seeing more direct criticism of Inslee is that trump seems incapable of getting Inslee's name (you know, "the snake" ) out of his mouth at all these days.

This Idiot occupying our White House will blame everyone but himself. He has already dumped on NY and MI govs, and I am sure many more to come. When that doesn't work, he will blame the Democrats (I am still waiting for him to say that he weren't being impeached, he would have been able to do more early on on) and then Pence.

Just look in the mirror, Trump, to see who to blame. But then again, when you look like you, I guess you never do look at yourself in the mirror.

He was taught by Roy Cohn: Deflect and distract, never give in, never admit fault, lie and attack, lie and attack, publicity no matter what, win no matter what, all underpinned by a deep, prove-me-wrong belief in the power of chaos and fear.
