A letter to Pres. Trump on assigning blame

I've written to the President a number of times, although thus far he seems to have ignored my letters.  Nonetheless, I keep trying to help him out.  Here is the one that I'm mailing tomorrow:

President Donald J. Trump

The White House

Office of the President

1600 Pennsylvania Ave., N.W.

Washington, D.C. 20500


Dear President Trump:


There is an old rule in politics that after an office holder is sworn in, he or she can blame his or her predecessor for problems and miscues for a period of six months.  After that, the new office holder owns the problems.


I notice that you have been blaming President Obama for some of the problems and issues faced by our country.  Since President Obama left office in January of 2017, his tenure is well past the “blame date.”  Under the six months rule, even President Biden would be past the time where he can be blamed for problems.  


Your advisors should have told you this.  In any case, it is something for you to keep in mind.


All the best,


Roy Christman
