Mc Connell discloses fundamental truth about Donalld Trump. "He always blames someone else"

https://www.cnn.com/2022/04/14/politics/mitch-mcconnell-donald-trump-scapegoat/index.html

(CNN)Donald Trump l-o-v-e-s a good scapegoat.

That fundamental truth is made plain in a key excerpt from a forthcoming book by New York Times reporters Alex Burns and Jonathan Martin. In advance of the January 2021 Senate runoffs in Georgia, Senate Republican leader Mitch McConnell said that he believed Trump's continued focus on the 2020 election was about something other than contesting the results.

"What it looks to me like he's doing is setting this up so he can blame the governor and the secretary of state if we lose," McConnell told the reporters for the book in December 2020. "He's always setting up somebody to blame it on."

Yes! That exactly! The history of Trump in public life is one of him constantly looking for people and ways to distribute blame so that it doesn't land on him. Because in his mind, he can do no wrong.

Of course Trump blames any problems on others. He thinks that he is perfect and therefore incapable of error. His is a very sick mind. His biggest value to others is that he certainly can be bought, he is a political whore.
