He was the guest of honor at some kind of rich guy event, and no matter the international crisis mentioned he claimed, “it would never have happened” if he was president so many times that it was downright embarrassing. And of course, nobody would dream of asking him what he would have done differently. It’s like the old, “nobody knows more about” that he seems to have retired.

I don’t know how or if to attack without a proper link, sorry.

I hear it all the time from the asshole host Sid Rosenberg on WABC radio. Doesn’t matter what it is. Migrants, Ukraine, Gaza. NONE of it would have happened under Trumps’ watch.

Come on, it’s obvious, he would have simply existed as Trump in the Oval Office. No one would have dared cross him!

How dare you suggest that Trump would actually have to “do something” in order to succeed!

Did he also mention that his personal hygiene was above reproach?

Yeah, that whole pandemic thing? Never would have happened, if Trump had been in office.

It’s sort of like how there weren’t any terrorist attacks during Bush’s presidency.
