After triumphant return to White House, Trump is still fixated on Biden: ‘It’s his fault’

Joe Biden left the White House nearly a month ago, but he’s never far from Donald Trump’s mind.
Joe Biden left the White House nearly a month ago, but he’s never far from Donald Trump’s mind. The former president has been a recurring punchline – and punching bag – in nearly every appearance Trump has made since returning to power. With Republicans in full control of Washington, Trump is forever in search of a foil and Biden tops the list. “Much of this stuff is because of Biden,” Trump said last week in the Oval Office, referring to federal employees being allowed to telework. “It’s his fault.” For Trump, the buck stops with Biden – not with him. It’s a new wrinkle to the sign that sat on Harry Truman’s desk, “The Buck Stops Here,” a phrase has been a guiding principle of most presidents ever since. The list of challenges that Trump and his team have blamed on Biden is long: the high price of eggs, the crash of an airliner in the Potomac River, mishandled disaster relief from FEMA, the wars in Gaza and Ukraine, the proliferation of terrorists in Somalia, expanding US trade deficits, a deterioration of relations with Beijing. “I think Biden is incompetent,” Trump said, calling out his predecessor eight times on Thursday as he blamed him for the Russia-Ukraine war. “I think when he said that they could join NATO, I thought that was a very stupid thing to say.”
