Dana Milbank: Trump is the one who needs to apologize the most

[Yosemito]

I found this column great:

Asked once about clearing up various falsehoods, such as claiming President Barack Obama tapped his phone, Trump replied, “Why do you say that I have to apologize?” Told that he could boost his legal argument for his travel ban by disavowing his anti-Muslim campaign rhetoric, he replied: “There’s no reason to apologize.”

On the other hand, he has demanded apologies from, among others, Hillary Clinton, Warren, bearish forecasters, the “fake news” media, CNN, ESPN and the cast of “Hamilton.” He has hailed an apology the New York Times didn’t offer him. And he expressed jealousy that ABC apologized to Valerie Jarrett for Roseanne Barr’s racist remarks but not for “the HORRIBLE statements made and said about me on ABC.”

Trump’s few apologies tend to be ironic: for bringing jobs back too quickly, for calling women beautiful, for the “terrible pain and suffering” Democrats caused Brett Kavanaugh, for insulting the real Pocahontas by calling Warren that name.

For Trump, apologizing is weakness. After years of mocking Obama’s “apology tour,” Trump boasted at a campaign event a year ago: “Last eight years, we’ve seen a lot of apologizing. Not any longer. We don’t apologize.”

1. News Flash for the russian owned

Puppet.. his inability to tell the truth and Never apologize makes him as weak as freaking, Flopping, Wet Noodle.

It's takes a courageous person to apologize sincerely when they're wrong. And, let's be real.. everybody makes mistakes.

President Obama and Admin had major clean for fucking bush/cheney and all fucking trump could do is accuse him of not being born in America.. him and his dead beat wife.. were on the Smear Obama Tour.

2. WaPo is too kind.

Trump is a pathological liar. He has no ability to see the truth. I doubt he can remember what he says from one minute to the next. He is always right and everyone else is always wrong. That is his world. To apologize would be to turn his world upside down. And he will never allow that to happen.

I spent the longest two years of my life working at a health spa for the very wealthy. A lot of the clientele had the same problems as Trump. And because these people were so wealthy, we were never allowed to point out that they were wrong about anything, or that they were asking a stupid question, or that what they were asking for was impossible. In other words, we had to say yes to everything they wanted, no matter how insane it may have been.

This is the world of the extremely wealthy person. It is no wonder to me that they behave this way, when they are used to having people say yes to everything they want, regardless of what it is.

They are miserable people to be around, and the day I quit that job was one of the happiest days of my life.

3. Why would the Orange-Russian agent have to apologize?

Just find out most of his crimes (including Obstruction of Justice and Witness Tampering) and lock him up.

Have a look at his evil family too.

Did Al Capone ever apologize?

4. Let he who builds a stone wall never request escape.

Refusing to apologize and never admitting error are indeed stone walls. And we won't forget.

I recall reading that psychopaths don't comprehend concepts like apology, confession, remorse and empathy. Those are totally alien to that portion of our society.

It's also suggested that a high percentage of psychopaths are either CEOs of corporations or they're in prison.
