(25,253 posts)his poll numbers went down. He didn't say he was 'sorry' he said the wrong thing because it offended.
It's not an apology. Trump is incapable of that. It's merely a CONFESSION and EXCUSE. Another one of Trump's cheap dodges from actually ADMITTING he was WRONG. Trump is NOT SORRY he said what he said. He is SORRY it BACKFIRED on him. Now just gloss over it and move on like its not a big deal!

(114,904 posts)So yeah, I believe he regrets that.
Do I believe that he regrets causing pain, stirring up hatred and resentment? No. Not for a split second. I've seen NOTHING in him that indicates that he has the capacity for empathy.

No one was really listening, and everyone laughed it off. Just as phony.
