If the situation in the earliest days of Obama's administration was the fault of Bush, wouldn't it be reasonable to also claim that the situation in the earliest days of Trump's administration was the 'fault' of Obama? Similarly, Warren will be left to deal with the mess Trump caused and whoever follows her will get to deal with the results of her policies.
It isn't about negative vs positive, it's about how the president's policies aren't in place within minutes of being sworn in and the consequences of those policies take time to play out.
