Acceptance speech
-
Trump has said numerous times that he would get Mexico to pay for his wall, yet what he actually did has been to ask Americans to pay for the wall. Trump even shut down the American government that in his shameless attempts to get Americans to pay for his wall. Trump misappropriated money that Congress lawfully allocated for national emergency and military construction projects, funds that are meant to serve the American people and the American service men and women, to pay for his wall — all because Trump has been and continues to be too incompetent to get Mexico to pay for the wall like he repeatedly promised.

Among the six major broadcast and cable news networks, Trump’s speech brought in 19.85 million total viewers, the ratings firm announced Friday, compared with 21.8 million for Biden.“
The TV viewership numbers are in. Joe Biden’s acceptance speech has attracted bigger TV audience than Trump’s.

Are you trying to convince someone of something, or are you trying to fashion a string of words that could convince a toy artificial intelligence algorithm that a certain chain of logic could coherently blame Trump for the unrest?

My point is that MOST (maybe all) politicians (and presidents since I am talking about them in this forum thread) are very very quick to take credit when something is good but very very quick to blame the "other" guy when things go bad.
My understanding is that the US President is elected for a continuous 4 year term. not just the good months.
President Obama cannot say - "Only look at my President term for Jan, March, June, Sept of 2013. Jan, Feb, May, Aug of 2014, etc.)
President Trump cannot say - "Only look at my President term for XX months in 2017, March through Aug 2020 does not count, etc."
I have said this before, but I like the statement from US President Truman - "The Buck Stops Here"
I would like for once a modern president to stand up and say - " I am the President. What happens while I am President is my responsibility. No excuses. No blame to others. The buck stops here!!"

It's like you're taking a firm stand against thinking about or discussing any problem until the president takes full responsibility for it. I'm not sure why you think that's a good idea.

For me, it seems like the "default" reaction is to throw blame.
Using PResident Trump as an example (since he is the current president), his first instinct is to throw something on Twitter - usually derogatory or blame throwing. Not sure what that accomplishes.
Does it make it easier or harder to have a "productive" discussion? For me, i dont think so.

I think it's enjoyable to watch Taiwan Girl try so incessantly to straddle the fence on every issue, hoping to prove how awful Trump is by her kind, ultra-nice, condescending input, which oftentimes treats the reader as a child by stating obvious cherry-picked points or, stating the obvious as if she just made it up.
"My understanding is that the US President is elected for a continuous 4 year term. not just the good months." Not sure about this, need to ask Ax, Google, or a kid in 4th grade.

Lessee. . . is this what you meant:
"I am the President. The rioting in Portland, the looting, the burning, is all my fault. ALL MY FAULT! NO EXCUSES. NO BLAME TO OTHERS. IT'S ALL ME, I DID IT ALL, I CAUSED IT ALL, I NEED A KLEENEX. I will not blame the Mayor, City Council, Governor, the Oregon legislature, radical left-wing Critical Race Theory or Cultural Marxists, useless thugs, impotent federal congress, left-wing judges doing the legislator's job, or anyone else for this, it is clearly my fault because. . . I am Orange Man Bad.
How's that?
