When a Donald Trump-appointed judge delivered a stinging rejection of his effort to put National Guard troops on the ground in Portland, the president had some regrets.
“I wasn’t served well by the people that pick judges,” Trump vented Saturday.
His gripe came four months after he similarly sounded off about the “bad advice” he got from the conservative Federalist Society for his first-term judicial nominations — a reaction to a ruling, backed by a Trump-appointed judge, rejecting his power to impose sweeping tariffs on U.S. trading partners.
You know that meme of “leaders give away credit, bosses give away blame”? It’s obvious where Trump falls on that. Every problem is someone else’s responsibility.
