Ever since Trump came on the political scene, it has been clear to me that there are two ironclad laws associated with him (with apologies to Star Trek).
The Prime Directive: Nothing is ever Trump’s fault
First Corollary to the Prime Directive: Everything good that happens anywhere in the world must be attributed to Trump

Apparently, Christie agrees with me.
My favorite recent examples of the Prime Directive in play are:
a) some people tried to defend Trump on his post-election behavior because he got “bad advice” from those around him. Never mind that Trump didn’t have to listen to that “bad advice” and the only reason that those with the “bad advice” had access to Trump was because he gave it to them
b) when former cabinet officials or other high administration officials publicly criticized Trump after leaving government employment, Trump flamed on them and called them unfit for THE OFFICE THAT HE NOMINATED THEM FOR (so much for hiring “only the best people”)
c) many people criticized Fauci for federal COVID policy conveniently forgetting that Fauci doesn’t set federal policy – Trump does (or did anyway)
d) when Trump lies about something and the media calls him on it, his base doesn’t get mad at Trump, the source of the lie. They get mad at the media. It’s shoot the messenger.
