trump would never let a “buck” slip through his greedy little fingers. Now if “the buck stopping here” means taking responsibility for something, he’s always looking for someone else to blame.
It absolutely fits with the maturity level of the occupant – Carnegie-Mellon University produced a study of the grade-levels of some of the past Presidents’ speech levels and the 2016 candidates as well. Here’s a bit lifted from the “Washington Post’s” report of that study – it’s interesting. "“The current candidates generally had scores between 6th and 7th grades, with Trump just below 6th grade level. President Bush scored at a 5th grade level.” Trump was actually at grade 5.7 (the highest was Lincoln’s “Gettysburg Address” at grade 11! Abe had little formal education while Donnie and the ‘Shrub’ both supposedly earned advanced degrees from reputable Universities – the main discernible difference is that Abe’s Dad was penniless while both modern presidential men came from wealth and could ‘afford’ to buy their sons a ‘good’ degree! (and both graduated from universities that were willing to ‘sell’ them one – it takes "two to tango!)

Oh, undoubtedly she would have had just as much of a hard time of it, maybe worse, but at least she is a politician.
