Has Trump ever taken responsibility?

[Shrimpbox]

Better yet let me hear about what you think were his big mistakes.

 

[OldLady]

Give the devil his due. I remembered it because it was so stunning.

 

[Pogo]

Not credit for - he does that all the time, but RESPONSIBILITY for something?

Ronald Reagan:
Ronald Reagan’s acceptance of responsibility in the Iran-Contra Affair in April 1987 when Trump was about to turn 40. Reagan took to the airwaves and revealed his role in the deal that used Nicaragua as the conduit for U.S. arms that were traded for Iranian-held hostages, something Reagan previously had denied. “There are reasons why it happened, but no excuses,” Reagan said. “It was a mistake. I undertook the original Iran initiative in order to develop relations with those who might assume leadership in a post-Khomeini government.” As with Kennedy, the public who genuinely liked Reagan accepted his apology and a potential impeachment was averted. His popularity also returned, scoring him a 64% approval by the time he left office two years later.

John F Kennedy:
John Kennedy’s acceptance of his role in the failed Bay of Pigs Invasion in April 1961 when Donald was nearly 15. The CIA-run operation, begun under the Eisenhower Administration, resulted in the capture of over 1,200 insurgents and ultimately the strengthening of the nascent Castro regime. Kennedy blamed himself for approving the operation and in public held himself solely accountable. "There's an old saying that victory has a hundred fathers and defeat is an orphan ... Further statements, detailed discussions, are not to conceal responsibility because I'm the responsible officer of the Government.” The public liked what they saw from the young president and gave him a pass. Later Kennedy joked that if he had known how his poll numbers would have soared – into the 80s – he might have called for the invasion to occur sooner.

Barak Obama:
President Obama, by his own admission, failed badly during the rollout of Obamacare in fall 2013, more grievously due to the failures of HealthCare.gov. But he took responsibility and fixed it, launching an unprecedented number of outside programmers and tech specialists to overhaul the site and get it in working order. "I take full responsibility for making sure it gets fixed ASAP,” Obama said at the time. And so he did.

Here are a few other things Obama took responsibility for while in office:

• The failed Tom Daschle and Bill Richardson Cabinet nominations in 2009
• The BP oil spill in 2010
• Democrats’ loss of the House of Representatives in 2010
• The attack on the US Consulate in Benghazi, Libya, in 2012
• The VA scandal in 2014
• Democratic losses in the 2014 midterms
• The death of two hostages in an operation against al-Qaeda in 2015
• The Syrian government’s atrocities in Aleppo in 2016

Can anyone provide some examples?

When he raised his right hand with his left hand on the Bible on January 20, 2017, he accepted responsibility, for better or for worse. So far he's done a great job.

Pffffffft. He promised the court he'd quit banning black people from the apartments too, and quickly reneged on that as well.

 

[Coyote]

Can you provide some examples then?

Taking responsibility is an important part of leadership.

You have NOTHING but BLIND HATRED for our wonderful president. It's SO disappointing. President Trump has taken responsibility EVERY day since he beat the Hildebeast in the 2016 election. He's shown MORE leadership than perhaps ANY president before him. It's a shame you can't see this because you've been blinded and brainwashed by our hideously biased media. You ARE a wonderful person, I KNOW this from our conversations, I just wish you could see what an amazing job our president is doing.

Leadership involves taking responsibility Bluz....can you give me an example of that? I'm keeping this narrowly focused.

(p.s. you are a sweetie too, but politically weez be a tad different politically )

 

[Dr Grump]

Of COURSE you won't give a real number, you ARE a liberal lunatic. Virtually ALL of you loons will deflect, divert, and evade directly answering a question that they can't or won't answer. Just pitiful.

And yet nobody from the neocon loony right has addressed the OP yet. So back at ya.

The point about me posting my IQ - and it went completely over your head - was that anybody can say anything on this messageboard. Do you think for one single second I believe that your IQ is 147? It would barely be over 100. To be fair I'm only basing my opinion on the drivel you post on here. Maybe in real life you might be more coherent.

Oh please everyone knows your IQ ..

Its irevelant, what matters if you know the 2nd greatest commandment in the New testament

tell that to your paramour Bluz luzer. He's the one all het up about a person's IQ.

Haven't read the bible. Have no intention of reading. If I want fantasy I'll stick with Robert Jordan, Tolkein or George Martin.

 

[Billy_Kinetta]

Give the devil his due. I remembered it because it was so stunning.

A month later, he abused Hillary Clinton, from a certain POV.

 

[Pogo]

Well, I do remember him saying he was sorry for the way he talked on the bus when the Access Hollywood tape got leaked.

Why would anybody be sorry?

Good point. He actually didn't say he was sorry, did he. But he did try to weasel out of it once the heat died down.

 

[Coyote]

Give the devil his due. I remembered it because it was so stunning.

Sigh....and then he ruins it with this "I’ve said some foolish things, but there is a big difference between words and actions. Bill Clinton has actually abused women and Hillary has bullied, attacked, shamed and intimidated his victims. We will discuss this more in the coming days."

 

[Lewdog]

Well, I do remember him saying he was sorry for the way he talked on the bus when the Access Hollywood tape got leaked.

Yes he did issue an apology for that. But even then, he tried to suggest it wasn't his voice on the tape. Even though the whole thing was on video as well as audio. Just like everything else, tried to weasel out of it. Just like mocking Serge Kovaleski when the reporter wouldn't lie for him, and then when that wouldn't play tried to deny he was mocking his arthrogryposis.

Yeah... at first he denied he said it and even said the tape was doctored. Taking responsibility after LYING about it is not exactly worthy.

I'm not so sure he accepted responsibility. If he did, then, why does he constantly blame everyone else?

 

[Lewdog]

Of course this thread is flooded with Trump cult members. He can do no wrong in the eyes of some. He could lie about the color of grass, and they would find a way to excuse it.

 

[Hossfly]

anybody can raise their hand and say they do. In practical terms? he's a big fat zero.
He's an awful person, and a terrible president. He's done a shit job from day one...

That's your opinion.My answer was a fact.

 

[Coyote]

What I find telling is, my OP is getting a number of "dislikes" but none of them have come up with a single instance of Trump taking responsibility.

He is responsible for every decision he has made, and he accepts it. He owes you people nothing.

Show me an example of him accepting it then.

 

[Pogo]

Responsibility for what?

I watched the liberal assholes this morning saying the messiah obama had a plan for an epidemic, he was quoting out of a 1990s movie

Hi Bear, good to see you again

Responsibility for things that didn't go well. "The buck stops here" type of responsibility.

Once again he banned people from war torn countries and the liberals used him over it.

Did he take responsibility for any mistakes or things that didn't go well?

That's not the same as things others criticized him for, because if he didn't think he did anything wrong - he doesn't need to take responsibility.

TRUMP is not the messiah as everyone proclaimed Obama to be. Again what are you affraid of?

What are you afraid of? You have yet to address the question at all.

 

[Coyote]

I think you should qualify the OP Coyote. Has he ever taken responsibility for something when the shit hits the fan. When things are going good - EVERYTHING was his idea...

I think I did - I said responsibility for, not credit for

 

[Coyote]

this is so easy! According to ewe libtards Trump is responsible for absolutely everything that has happened
Since Adam and Eve. Next question?

Cute, but you failed to answer the question. I'm not interested in what OTHER's say he is responsible for. I'm interested in whether he himself has ever taken responsibility.

Nice try though

Every day. Stop being a disgruntled schoolgirl stamping her feet in a tantrum.

Good point. He actually didn't say he was sorry, did he. But he did try to weasel out of it once the heat died down.

He DID say he was sorry. It's on the vid. Jimminy Crickets, Pogo. I was just answering the OP. The least you can do is accept the truth of that simple fact.

 

[Pogo]

Well, I do remember him saying he was sorry for the way he talked on the bus when the Access Hollywood tape got leaked.

Yes he did issue an apology for that. But even then, he tried to suggest it wasn't his voice on the tape. Even though the whole thing was on video as well as audio. Just like everything else, tried to weasel out of it. Just like mocking Serge Kovaleski when the reporter wouldn't lie for him, and then when that wouldn't play tried to deny he was mocking his arthrogryposis.

Yeah... at first he denied he said it and even said the tape was doctored. Taking responsibility after LYING about it is not exactly worthy.

The ironic part of that is if you take his second lie as truth, it makes the first truth a lie. He wants to have it both ways.
