The LW standard is to avoid discussion of current politics unless it's crucial to your point, which it's not in your article. This has been the standard for a long time, for well-discussed reasons. I thought you would be familiar with that, being a long-timer.
Plus, you spend a significant amount of the article on the political predicates rather than on your ultimate point about appropriate back-inference of moral culpability.
This issue doesn't really seem like partisan politics to me, which I think is the spirit of the "no current politics" rule. I don't think anyone is suggesting that any particular failing of the president's political ideology is to blame here, it's just being suggest that this is a general rationality fail of the kind all politicians make routinely.
