Re: April 12 commentary, “China should be liable for the damage it has done.”

I always look forward to Marc Thiessen’s from-the-right opinion.

Each commentary is a look back at how President Donald Trump has been misunderstood, or tangled in a timeline of his own making. China is now the culprit: “They did it!” not Trump. Trump supporters always find a way to pass the damage onto someone else for things Trump has done or failed at.

Reading Thiessen reminds me of some kids doing mischief, getting caught, and pointing to another kid saying, “he did it, not me.” Trump’s entire lifestyle has propelled him into the most important leadership role in the world, where he exercises this “he did it, not me” leadership deception. Maybe someday his style will collapse, and the world will take a deep breath and pray that it’s over.

Note from KBJ: Don't worry, Mike. Donald Trump will leave office in January 2025.
