🐂💩 incoming: After disasters like the Texas flood, Trump reflexively blames Biden

After disasters like the Texas flood, Trump reflexively blames Biden (CNN)

(CNN) — White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt on Monday drew a hard line against quickly blaming the government in the midst of a tragedy – in this case, the deadly floods in Texas.

“Many Democrat elected officials are trying to turn this into a political game; it is not,” Leavitt said, amid suggestions linking the tragedy to Trump’s cuts to the National Weather Service.

Less than 24 hours before Leavitt’s comments, though, it was her boss, Trump, who was levying blame – not on the incumbent government, but the previous one.

“If you look at that water situation, that was really the Biden setup,” Trump said.

all back things are Biden's fault.

not only are they Biden's fault, but everything retroactively is Biden's fault as well.

orange asshole pick for the Super Bowl losses? Biden's fault.

Soviets beat the US into space? Biden's fault

the attack on Pearl Harbor? Biden's fault.

the cause of the Great Depression? Biden's fault.

Kerr County MAGA decided not to use it or return it, apparently.

If the history of Florida is an example, building in flood zones was largely due to the real estate industry, development and land owners overrunning the state's Community Development department.
