Donald Trump l-o-v-e-s a good scapegoat.

Consider:
* Trump's loss in the 2016 Iowa caucuses was because Ted Cruz cheated -- or something.
* The FBI investigation into Russia's meddling in the 2016 election was because then-Attorney General Jeff Sessions recused himself.
* The coronavirus was China's fault.
* The early testing snafus for the virus were Barack Obama's fault.
* The long battle against the virus was Anthony Fauci's fault.
* The rocky response to Hurricane Maria was Puerto Rico's fault.
* His loss in the 2020 election was the fault of Republican governors like Doug Ducey of Arizona and Brian Kemp of Georgia who were insufficiently loyal to him. Oh, and also Vice President Mike Pence for not overturning the Electoral College results even though he had no ability to do so.
* The January 6 riot at the US Capitol was Nancy Pelosi's fault.
* His ongoing legal problems are the fault of "vicious, horrible" prosecutors.
There's dozens of these examples. And they all tell the same story: If and when anything goes bad for Trump, he immediately looks to find someone to blame.
