Trump’s tendency to point fingers at others is increasingly in the spotlight
As November’s midterm elections approach Republicans are trying to retain control of Congress
But Trump's unwillingness to accept blame sometimes leads him to deny that there are problems at all,
and could leave GOP leaders in tight races with little reassurance for voters that their concerns are being addressed.

With Donald Trump, the buck tends to stop somewhere else
President Harry Truman famously kept a “The Buck Stops Here” sign on his White House desk. But the current president, Donald Trump, often veers from that motto of taking responsibility. The Republican has blamed his predecessors for continued inflation. As the unpopular war with Iran drags on, he says earlier presidents squandered years of chances to curb Tehran's nuclear ambitions. He says vandals are responsible for the problem-plagued renovation of the Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool. T…

We call this drift weaponisation: the discursive repurposing of professional concepts so that they stabilise business-as-usual while making structural alternatives appear unreasonable, illegible, or out of scope.
