Sorry really does seem to be the hardest word especially if youre Donald Trump.
With the blustery reality show host dominating the Republican presidential polls in spite of or perhaps, because of a variety of offensive statements aimed at women and minorities, many have demanded that Trump apologize. The real estate mogul this week even drew the ire of Fox News Chairman and CEO Roger Ailes, who said Trump should say hes sorry for his latest attacks on anchor Megyn Kelly, who grilled Trump on past anti-woman comments at the first GOP debate of the 2016 contest.
Ailes is hardly alone. There have also been calls for Trump to apologize to Sen. John McCain and families of POWs after he questioned the Arizona lawmakers Vietnam war record. Then theres his suggestion that Mexican immigrants are rapists and killers, and his rant against Kelly in which he implied she had only grilled him because she was menstruating.
In typical Trump fashion, the never shy, always controversial billionaire real estate mogul has refused to express remorse frequently arguing instead that hes speaking the truth and wont be chained to whats politically correct.

Ruth Bader Ginsburg was just plain wrong trying to influence the Presidential election. Thatd be just like if the Senate tried to influence the Supreme Court by refusing to vote on a Presidents nominee.

(22,078 posts)Donald Trump is despicable and dangerous. He's a liar, a cheat and his views are disgusting.
He's also an idiot.
yep and yep. I agree with everything you wrote.

(70,810 posts)Beter than satire, it is a poke at Trump's over-inflated ego and an insult to his intelligence and spelling ability too. Please tweet the OP at him.
Maybe Fox will pick up this story

(101,424 posts)since I can't see humour or a point to it. The title is made up; the quote comes from an Aug 2015 piece asking 'has Trump ever apologized?"
It's some comment on this story about her apologizing, but I can't see what point they want to make.

(24,401 posts)The closest we get is "I'm sorry if you feel offended," which isn't an apology at all.
And of course, they benefit from not apologizing, because Joe Six Pak likes to believe that if you don't apologize, it's because you have nothing to apologize for, and if you do apologize, well, you're a lying shit.
