Trump Blames 'Generals' For Telling Him Obama Didn't Call Family Members

Trump passes the buck to his generals for giving him bad information.

When held accountable by the press for claiming Obama didn't call family members of our fallen soldiers, Trump blamed his military generals for telling him so.

and since he thinks that voice is someone, i.e., not him, well guess what. That's a symptom of... something not right in his head.

Nowadays the buck never stops at the Oval Office desk.

We went from the post WWI Imperial Presidency-where many thought the executive had amassed to much power to a power-less executive who is responsible for nothing.

Putin's vassal.

We are turning a blind eye to the way that racism and autocratic minds in the military are affecting our civilian lives. Too many sacred cows are blocking the way of a good scrutiny.
