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!

If he really does stay on script, I predict the media cover it 24/7 and use it to rally Trump's poll numbers in their attempt to make this a horse race all the way to November.

Most people will be unwilling to give him any more chances to prove himself.

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.

and he is asked specifically what did he say that hurt someone and what did he do to make it better.

Schwarzenegger "I have done bad things" speech when he was running for Governor.
No one was really listening, and everyone laughed it off. Just as phony.
