He’s probably clogging his own toilets and instead of blaming his McDiet blames the Obama-Biden Industrial Complex.

He doesn't blame them personally. He and every GOP politician don't actually believe most of the propaganda they peddle; excluding regards like MTG and public handjob hooker.

Most of what they say and do is a performance — it's all part of the conservative cinematic universe — manufactured to manipulate the feefees of the mentally-ill MAGA cult. I'm not saying they aren't imminently dangerous fascists. I'm saying we shouldn't entertain the idea that their words mean anything but grift.

While it's true there is a huge amount of performance in the average republiQan spiel, trump absolutely blames Obama and Biden personally.

Supporting facts include his pathological need to injure them at all times no matter the circumstance or reasoning.

They may signify things to him psychologically but he talks about and reacts to them as personalities and has done so since the start of this insanity.
