He f*cking "APOLOGIZED." Of course, it's fake. But if you were looking for the Breitbart pivot...

...just realize this happened about 30 seconds after Trump brought Bannon on board. The snake is already slithering through the grass, and some people will believe this horseshit.

Trump says he regrets comments that may have caused pain

WASHINGTON (AP) — For the first time since declaring his presidential run, Republican Donald Trump expressed regret for saying things that may have hurt people.

“Sometimes in the heat of debate and speaking on a multitude of issues, you don’t choose the right words or you say the wrong thing. I have done that,” the GOP nominee, reading from prepared text, said at a rally in Charlotte, N.C. “And believe it or not, I regret it, particularly where it may have caused personal pain.”

He added: “Too much is at stake for us to be consumed with these issues.” As the crowd cheered, Trump pledged to “always tell you the truth.”

The remarks came as Trump makes significant changes to a campaign that has struggled since the Democratic and Republican nominating conventions from self-created distractions. Earlier Thursday, Trump moved to invest nearly $5 million in battleground state advertising to address daunting challenges in the states that will make or break his White House ambitions. He also shook up his campaign in recent days, tapping a combative conservative media executive, Stephen Bannon, to serve as CEO of the campaign.

1. It won't last. Trump is too much of a dick to contain himself.

2. Let's hope.

True colors show through. Let's hope Bannon and Trump's natural combativeness and prickishness will show through.

4. We have already seen his true colors...

Just cause he say he regrets it after being the most bigoted candidate ever for an entire year, and now that he's losing big...the folks who buy that shit actually never minded what he's been saying for an entire year and actually longer!

3. We can't rely on that

Otherwise we could lose we have to stay on offense and not keep hoping trump shoots himself in the foot !

5. He is what he is. I don't get his other people think oh he said sorry...

You don't say sorry and move on after you've acted like a disabled man while mocking him, you don't move on from saying someone is a murderer or rapist because their skin is brown. You don't move on from accusing a gold star family of a vicious attack because he questioned your non existent morals. Trump is NOT even close to being qualified to run for POTUS and I don't give a shit what lying sack of shit he brings on board to run his campaign. He is not redeemable and every reasonable person with half a brain in this country knows it. There are NOT enough of them to get it done. We need to keep working to get Clinton elected.

6. Trump demonstrated how he can be humble and gracious.

Said a freeper over there.

[LeftRant]

7. He was smirking while he did it. Also: he didn't write it and NEVER would have.

8. They are asking Donald to chill

The dirty games are under way, but their strategy is for Dim Don to stay out of the fray.

9. There is more to come with this. I do have some fear of this. You can see the media

people already trying to bolster his "rehabilitiation."

I am consoled by the fact that every time I have thought this before, he's come out with something to make even more people hate him.

10. doesn't this show weakness?

It seems like the more Trump acts like a normal politician, he will lose the people who saw something different in him

11. "My scampaign now claims that my telepromper apology is directed at EVERYONE offended. LIE!"

[Curtland1015]

12. He VERY PUBLICLY announced a new campaign team, then the next day tries this crap.

How can ANYONE buy into this. How can EVEN those that don't but are in his pocket, pitch it with a straight face?

Trump's apology wouldn't have been accepted by a kindergarten teacher.

Dump Trump ‏@DumpTrump22
I will accept #Trump's half-assed apology as soon as the #liar drops out and goes back to ripping off old ladies

@KatyTurNBC does anyone believe any apology would be genuine at this point? He quoted a white supremacist website re Merkel last night #trump
