Discussion: Top Trump Aide: I'll Talk To Reporter But It's 'Unrealistic' For Me To Apologize

Is there any normal, sane adult who hasnā€™t apologized - more in the sense of ā€œIā€™m sorry that happenedā€ than in the sense of ā€œIā€™m sorry. Itā€™s my faultā€ - when someone bumps into them? Is a formal introduction and exchange of business cards now required before saying ā€œExcuse meā€?

Heā€™s very like his bossā€”if he never spoke to her, never met her, then how could he have roughly grabbed her? Except he doesnā€™t phrase it that way because it only works as bullshit if you suggest a thing indirectly without saying it explicitly. Itā€™s exactly like when Trump kept repeating heā€™d never met David Duke as a way of suggesting, without saying explicitly, that he had no idea who he was or what his history and viewpoints were. Pure weapons-grade bullshit.

Thatā€™s the trouble with bullshittingā€”you have to keep it up no matter how outrageously obvious the pretending has become.

Heā€™s the kind of person who thinks issuing an apology is a sign of weaknessā€¦of being emasculated. And, most especially, to a female.

He will have wished heā€™d apologized though, after the civil suit

Exactly. Itā€™s par for the course when you are part of the tiny-hand orange gasbag campaign.

Just grab her, drag her within inches of your face, mutter ā€œSorry,ā€ through clenched teeth and toss against a bureau or a dining room table or somethingā€¦easy peasy.

So in Coreyā€™s world you donā€™t have to apologize if youā€™ve never been formally introduced? What a cretin.

ā€œThis thingā€ is his behavior.

But double-down and deny reality. Itā€™s the Republican way.

This dude has a bad case of affluenza, which he seems to have contracted by sucking up to the most virulent strain passed on from his boss. Birds of a featherā€¦

Of course itā€™s unrealistic ā€“ apologizing for oneā€™s own offensive behavior is not in the repertoire of the Team Trumpā€™s mindset.

A gentleman and honorable man, just like his boss.

Truthfully he has nothing to gain by doing the honorable thing and apologize for ā€œthis thingā€. Doubtful that it would win over any undecided voters to the drumpf cause.

So he might as well stay in his zone and continue to be the anus that is him.

I never, met her, Iā€™ve never spoken with her, so just ignore the video and look at how big and magnanimous Iā€™m being by even condescending to speak with the little woman.

What a total douchebag

That should work well with Putin, too.

His boss wants Ms. Fields punished for having a missed period so from Coreyā€™s perspective apologies are a sign a weakness.

She should bring her own bodyguard to the meeting. I can recommend a guy I know, a 300lb ex-Marine nicknamed ā€œTiny.ā€ She might need him to protect her personal space.
