Anybody can point to anything and blame it on the president.

There is plenty of evidence of Trump being a POS but a weather caused power outage in Gary, IN?

Tie it back to Trump and make sure to completely absolve the City of Gary, IN in the process and send all the blame back to DC.

Tie it back to Trump

Easy, he's not sending in FEMA to assist the people of Gary, Indiana.

Biden's Fault.

Obviously.

(I can guarantee Humpy Trumpy can tie it back to Biden somehow. I am amazed he hasn't already.)

Eight data centers in Gary have power, while the residents do not.
