President Harry S. Truman had a large sign on his Oval Office desk that announced to the world, “The Buck Stops Here.”
67 years later, 45’s chalky, puckered mouth declared the opposite: “I don’t take responsibility at all.” His incompetency is now proving deadly. Sure, the Coronavirus isn’t his fault, but how poorly America mismanaged a response to this crisis is. This panic is a result of his grossly misguided policies and vile personality: Cuts to the CDC; lagging distribution of testing; no senior administration official devoted to world health and the elimination of a White House office devoted to pandemics; denial of COVID-19’s severity; the incessant, ego-driven lying to save his orange face; and the constant blaming of others. Instead, as we navigate this insanity, we are inundated by the repetition of 45’s motto, “Not My Fault!”
Fuck him!
Despite the Vulgarian-in-Chief, we got this. Right?
Truman also said, “It is amazing what you can accomplish if you do not care who gets the credit.” Hear, hear!
