trump: I was set up. I don't know who did it. Maybe it was the parents. Maybe it was the administration

In regards to the video.

"I don't know who did it. We have a lot of people.We have Tik Tok people, we are winning the internet"

Which administration set him up? Is he going to blame Biden? LOL

Way to go, throw the family that invited you under the bus. When are these people ever going to learn?

I was expecting him to do a Scooby doo.

Such BS.
OK. Even If I take you at face value.Now that you know what the rules are. Where is the apology? There was so much wrong here.
Are you going to fire the person that pushed the employee? Are you going to apologize for what they said about her?

He didn't back out of it, he went and desecrated a gravesite for political gain, knowing it wasn't allowed, because the staffer had told him it wasn't.

People, we got him on the run. Don't let up now! Push it, push it all, every single day, all day long. Every fuck up, ever word salad, every idiot notion out of his mouth, every flip flop. Push it, push it, push it. He's going to break, and soon.

Meant to project the picture of "how could I have possibly lost the election when I was winning the internet!?!?!?!"

Last time it was he couldn't have lost because of "huge crowds". This time its the internet.

So freaking low. No honor whatsoever.

He's tossing the families under the bus to save his own diapered ass,
treating them, like suckers and losers.

I would like to share it with someone, especially the blaming of the parents, but the only thing that pulls up when I search for it is this post.

I'm sure the family involved was contacted from within the campaign, also.

Seems to me Mike Johnson might be spending some more time helping the Trump campaign behind the scenes instead doing his job.

--seriously. He does seem to have someone mole-like in his ranks. The "Send in the Clowns" song at the beginning of a hate rally, the Titanic theme later, and other times like this that he seems set up to shoot himself in the foot. It would be fun if this ever occurred to him, but it won't unless someone suggests it. He hires the best people, you know.

More proof that he will say or do anything to avoid blame.
He is actually a self- saboteur, especially with the casual "maybe it was the parents"
remark.
Disgusting.
