Trump takes blame game to a new level with Reflecting Pool, Iran war and inflation finger pointing
""The buck stops here" is one of the most recognizable maxims in American political lore. Yet for President Donald Trump, accountability rarely seems to land at his desk.
When confronted with anxieties over economic stagnation and persistent inflation, he points toward his predecessor, Joe Biden, claiming he inherited the issue. He maintains this stance even though the Democrat departed office more than 18 months ago and despite Trump's earlier pledges of a rapid recovery.
Regarding the troubled renovation of the Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool, the Republican president attributes the setbacks to criminal vandalism. However, a prosecutor appointed by his own administration concluded that poor construction quality was responsible for the defects."
