Six days ago, with President Trump easing into a more realistic and unity-based posture toward the coronavirus, he assured us all that the situation the country found itself in wasn’t due to anyone in particular.
“It was nobody’s fault. This happened — I mean, some people could say it was somebody’s fault, actually — but it was nobody’s fault,” Trump said Wednesday.
On Tuesday, Trump suddenly seemed to have identified a culprit: New York Gov. Andrew M. Cuomo (D).

Trump’s comments, meanwhile, seemed aimed at rather transparently shifting blame to someone else in a way he indicated less than a week ago that he wasn’t interested in doing. It also can’t be ignored that Cuomo’s response and his own daily briefings have been widely praised for their empathy and detail in a way that Trump’s haven’t.
