By blaming Biden for the New Orleans attack, Trump may be setting himself up for failure

WASHINGTON — The terrorist attack that killed 14 people in New Orleans is unacceptable, inexcusable and emblematic of a failing nation whose president ranks as the worst in history, according to President-elect Donald Trump.

Having held President Joe Biden to that standard, Trump is now at risk of having his withering verdict flung back at him should a comparable attack happen on his watch, which starts in just 17 days when he takes the oath of office.

In social media posts, Trump suggested that a porous border gave rise to the massacre on Bourbon Street, allowing criminals to freely enter the country and do harm. As he described it, the attack jibes with his long-held position that undefended borders invite violent crime.

“When I said that the criminals coming in are far worse than the criminals we have in our country, that statement was constantly refuted by Democrats and the Fake News Media, but it turned out to be true,” he wrote on New Year’s Day, hours after the man plowed into a crowd of revelers.

If Kash Patel gets his way on the FBI I guarantee there'll be a terrorist attack.

When 9/11 occurred, it turned out that John Ashcroft had reassigned agents whose job was to investigate terrorist links to go after pornography instead.

Not that he and his supporters will ever admit to it, though.

The historians are going to have to find another category other than "failure" when it comes to Trump 2.0

Aside from him being an insurrectionist and a felon, he is responsible for many of those deaths. Of all the disappointments about his re-election, that one really bothers me. Add to that RFK causing the deaths of all those children Hawaii.

"Having held President Joe Biden to that standard, Trump is now at risk of having his withering verdict flung back at him should a comparable attack happen on his watch, which starts in just 17 days when he takes the oath of office."

Fucking hilarious. Oh no! A couple articles in the New Republic, Daily Beast, and WaPo. A few clickbait videos from the usual crop of clickbaiters. HOW WILL HE POSSIBLY WITHSTAND SUCH A THING!?!?

Why would that possibly matter? He doesn't need to run for re-election. All he'll do is change the subject by some moronic tweet and it's on to a new media cycle.
