You'd think with a job like that he would have teams that would put the majority of it together for him. I wonder how much time Trump has to go over all of the information in every presentation with a fine tooth comb? If mistakes are made by the team, should Trump take the blame for them? If Trump publically apologizes while pointing out it was the team who screwed up, would that be accepted by those who were upset? I think we all know the negative reaction that would still follow and who the blame would go to regardless. |
When Trump make statements, who takes all the credit. Have you ever seen Trump give credit to anyone but himself. Well it's a two edged sword, If he takes all the credit when correct, he will also take all the blame when he is wrong. It's his job to go over all the information because it's basically his neck on the line if its wrong. If your expectation is that Trump would not take the time to read everything he is given and challenge anything that doesn't appear correct, we definitely have a different expectation of the POTUS office.
