Trump's the Disaster, Not Biden: Pittsburgh Post- Gazette

- Opinion, June 19, 2022.

The letter from Tony Williot, titled “Disastrous Biden” June 12 could better be characterized as “Wearing Blinders.” He blames the president for inflation, weakness where Russia is concerned and the perpetuation of the pandemic, among other issues.

Here are some facts: High inflation is currently a phenomenon in most every industrialized country, and it is related to factors like supply chain issues and the coronavirus that are not within a leader’s control. Is Biden also responsible for increasing prices in Europe?

The perpetuation of the pandemic can be explained by the tens of millions of Americans who have resisted vaccination, the first time in the history of vaccines in which the issue has become political.

I understand the impulse to hold the leader responsible for all of the ills that afflict a society. When one has a political ax to grind, the ascribing of blame can be ludicrous.
