Trump never takes responsibility for failure, but always takes credit for success.
Trump has always been quite consistent in blaming others for his many failures. No matter how badly his businesses are run, no matter what bad decisions he has personally made, he is never to blame.
But if he sees anything going well, he insists that he is responsible for that.
Take the economy. We know that the economy is bubble driven, and built on unsustainable debt. Much of what is called the booming economy is actually debt funded merges and acquisitions. This creates larger companies, but also larger debt. And the majority of the economy is driven by consumer spending, but again, consumer debt is at historically high levels.
But because the US conservative, corporate media has a narrative to construct and sustain, this debt bubble economy is called a healthy, booming economy. Much like the healthy, booming economy of 1929.
And up to this point, Trump has claimed ownership of the economy, acting as if his erratic tweet driven attempts at policy are responsible for the illusion of success.
But with increasing signs that the bubble is close to bursting, Trump is frantically looking for people and institutions to blame for his own insane misadministration.
My question:
Will the Us corporate media assign the blame to Trump when his tariffs and other erratic policies make the coming recession worse?
Or will the US corporate media accept Trump's narrative that everyone but Trump is responsible for the coming recession?
