I didn't hear Trump say he was sorry for having an affair with Stormy Daniels - i year after he married Melania and she was pregnant with Barron. Instead - he had his lawyer pay Daniels - hush money to keep her quiet.
I don't buy Graham's forgiveness defense of Trump.

(15,064 posts)his on agenda. Which is a sin in itself. One must repent to be forgiven. If Graham does not ask for forgiveness for his own hypocrisy regarding adultery and fortification he will burn in the Lake of Fire forever. He's a partner to adultery and fornication which means he has don't those acts in his heart.

2. You fully apologize including admitting what you did, what you did was wrong, and the pain you caused.
3. You do one affirmative act to try to restore the damage you did, e.g., pay back the money you stole (with interest), offer to do something voluntary to your victim, etc.
I can't see Trump even doing #1.

(34,127 posts)Extending forgiveness does not require any act on Trump's part. It may be a bit patronizing to forgive someone who believes he's done no wrong - but forgiveness addresses the attitude of the injured person toward the one who did them harm independent of what the person who did the harm feels or does.

(1,474 posts)to make the case that trump has some degree of humanity. trump is an indulgent, soulless, sociopath. He will do anything for his own carnal lust. He said that while other Americans were going to Vietnam he was fighting his own war to avoid STD's. trump is causing the GOP, evangelicals, racists, thieves to reveal themselves. Behold the evil America has to offer. The GOP endorses it because it gives them the only votes they can get.

He brags about how many married women he sleeps with.
Trump won't apologize for something he doesn't see as wrong.
Like cheating on his taxes, he thinks he is smart and others are stupid
to pay taxes.
