politics of blame 

The phenomenon where governments misdirect frustration and aggression, blaming the public for their own problems and failures instead of accepting responsibility.

The recent policies reflect a classic case of Politics of Blame, as the administration shifts the accountability for economic issues onto citizens rather than addressing systemic failures.

Reality Politics 

When political hopefuls run their campaign as if they were starring on a reality TV show. Extremist remarks made by "celebriticians" (celebrity politicians) for the sole purpose of getting free publicity and increasing their ratings. A hybrid of reality TV and politics.

Wow... Donald Trump is engaging in some serious reality politics!

Can't wait to see if Donald Trump yells, "You're fired!" at Obama when he takes his Oath of Office next year... That would make for some great reality politics!
