Has Trump ever taken responsibility?

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.

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

78 posts, zero answers.
ONE answer.

If the question had been, "Has Rump ever apologized for anything?" that would be the one answer.

Issuing a statement and then trying to undo it, thaaaaaaaaat's not really taking responsibility. That's more like settling out-of-court and then crowing "we took no responsibility".

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

Feel free to start a thread on that. I'm interested in the concept of leaders taking responsibility.
you sound all tough sitting in your underwear complaining on the internet while hes the one up there doing the job,,,
Sir! Leave our underclothes out of this!

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:

Acceptance of responsibility, but with no consequences, is pretty worthless. Don't you think?

Depends. Consequences can be hard to define - for example, consequences can be political, etc. But - I think what is more important - is whether accepting responsibility for it leads to changing something as a result. Learning from it. Not just apologizing.








Not one of the instances you gave had consequences attached. None of the perps suffered one iota so in my mind all that happened was they said "yeah, I did it, now fuck off".

Not exactly comforting.


Did they change their behavior, or attempt to fix the problem?

I still think there were consequences - for Kennedy and Reagan, those were stains on their record, forever. For Obama - Syria is and will remain a stain on his record. That's a consequence, aside from the less quantifiable consequences of conscience.







No, they did nothing. Thus what's the point other than to rub our noses in the fact that we are powerless.
 
its pretty pathetic you have to pull the mod card to defend your lack of comprehension of reality,,

trumps up there everyday trying to do something that has no precedent for what he should do,,,hes in uncharted territory,,

and all you do is whine like a little bitch because you can,,,


grow up or shut up,,,

Then answer fucking OP question, you moron...talking about lack of comprehension..
 






Ok we have another one - two answers now, but all in all, our two examples are pretty minor stuff:

President Trump said in an exclusive interview Tuesday that his address to Congress this evening will focus on the central planks of his campaign – the military, the border, jobs and health care – and he took responsibility for any communications miscues that have blunted the effectiveness of his message in the early days of the administration.

Trump, in an interview with “Fox & Friends,” specifically cited his immigration policy, and said that perhaps the rollout of his plan to keep out and remove criminal illegals hadn’t been communicated effectively.

“And maybe that’s my fault,” Trump said.

Name me a politician who ever claimed responsibility for anything that wasn't positive.
HINT: You can definitely omit Bill Clinton.

Read the OP.
It's kind of difficult for people to not admit an overt misdeed.
What did Trump do wrong?
Did he sell Iran weapons (Reagan), rape and murder someone (JFK) or allow a city to be burnt to the ground (Obama)?
 

Actually, this post reminds me of another trait of the Orange Turd. Immaturity. Has there ever been a more immature president than this shit stain?






Oh, you mean how obummer paid money to close national parks that are open 24/7 when he didn't get his way on a budget?

That's infantile behavior. Not one of you twits called him out on it.

I have seen this many whiny bitchs since the last dog show,,,
 
What's Trump supposed to take responsibility for other than his family and country? And what's with the short list of O'bummer admissions?

Took me a second to find,

Oh, look so you CAN give examples. Good one right. Agree. If that was the reason, that is pretty immature. Now, if I had the rest of today and all of tomorrow I could list The Orange Buffoon's bratty behaviour. However, if you go to his twitter feed you will see daily instances of said behaviour...
 
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 :smiliehug:)
He's taken responsibility EVERY DAMN DAY since he throttled the Hildebeast in November of 2016. You're too blind to see this. It's just SO disappointing you've been SO thoroughly brainwashed by our media. All I can add is I hope (no pun intended) you find some way to live through ANOTHER FOUR YEARS of Donald Trump as our president after November of this year, because this WILL happen. If the election is somehow postponed, he WILL still be your president indefinitely until there IS another election. Good luck, and I'm done responding to this thread. Thank you.

I would disagree on that. For example, the one on the Obama did involve a change of behavior in the roll out of ACA. On Kennedy and Reagan I'm not so sure, would have to research that.

Well, the problem is - your claims aren't exactly accurate.

So you don't think Trump has ever done anything wrong?

grow up,,,

This reply reminds of anther trait of the Orange Turd. Immaturity. Has there ever been a more immature president than this Buffoon.
Define immaturity...
Is rape and murder immature (JFK)?
Is rape immature (Bill Clinton)?
Is allowing a city to be burnt to the ground immature (Obama).
I missed the city burning to the ground?
Who did JFK rape and murder? Marilyn?
