To the Editor:

I guarantee that when the inevitable economic downturn comes, President Trump will refuse to own it. He takes credit only for good things, even if he has nothing to do with them. He would claim credit for the sun rising each morning if he could.

Mr. Trump will undoubtedly blame someone else: the Federal Reserve, the Chinese, the North Koreans, the European Union, the Democrats, Hillary Clinton, Barack Obama, Nancy Pelosi, Chuck Schumer. On second thought, maybe even the Russians. But not Donald Trump.

He must have a plaque on his desk: “The buck stops somewhere else. Anywhere else but here.”
