Do what you gotta do to feel good. But giving a free pass to all the other contributors - the ones loudest about who is to blame - is foolish, at best. To each their own.

Put another way, in terms of the political status quo, what changed between his two term? Hint: not a damn thing. That ain’t his fault. Your bias has blinded you

The American voter openly and obviously said "wow. Despite the numerous management failures, more of that please?"

People didn't vote for change, they voted for the same thing they had 4 years ago that changed absolutely nothing.

To quote Vaas from Far Cry 3: Do you know what the definition of insanity is?

Exactly. They were so frustrated and disgusted by the status quo political mess that Don was still a viable choice. Twice!!!

And how did the system respond after the first win? It didn’t. It was same ol’ same ol’, and look what the led to.

Blaming Trump for the cluster fuck mess that gave him the opportunity to run and win… Sorry. Absolutely not his fault.

I don’t like the guy. But I’m not going to be foolish and blame him for winning. That’s not his fault.

Yes, Trump is a figurehead for 'everything wing with the US' but he's become that figurehead by being incredibly and publicly active in the promotion of 'everything wrong with the US'. He deserves blame well above those who voted for him.
