I mean, listen to your gut instincts, which is that you're being foolish because he is a fool.
If your system demands trust, it's a bad system. If your system has a written set of rules that don't actually cover your requirements, it's a bad system. If the "tests" you imagine post-hoc aren't part of the system, you're just opportunistically trying to shift the blame.
You made a deal, set the parameters, and what... Expected the for profit company to ignore their fiduciary duty to shareholders to maximize profit? What is this, your first fucking day of capitalism, Pete?
His response to this is engineered to shift blame, and he's coming out swinging because ultimately he is to blame. It's barely more than a political catchphrase. He literally invoked "America First".
