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

Is there any normal, sane adult who hasn’t apologized - more in the sense of ā€œI’m sorry that happenedā€ than in the sense of ā€œI’m sorry. It’s my faultā€ - when someone bumps into them? Is a formal introduction and exchange of business cards now required before saying ā€œExcuse meā€?

He’s very like his boss—if he never spoke to her, never met her, then how could he have roughly grabbed her? Except he doesn’t phrase it that way because it only works as bullshit if you suggest a thing indirectly without saying it explicitly. It’s exactly like when Trump kept repeating he’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.

That’s the trouble with bullshitting—you have to keep it up no matter how outrageously obvious the pretending has become.

He’s the kind of person who thinks issuing an apology is a sign of weakness…of being emasculated. And, most especially, to a female.

He will have wished he’d apologized though, after the civil suit

Exactly. It’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 something…easy peasy.

So in Corey’s world you don’t have to apologize if you’ve never been formally introduced? What a cretin.

ā€œThis thingā€ is his behavior.

But double-down and deny reality. It’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 feather…

Of course it’s unrealistic – apologizing for one’s own offensive behavior is not in the repertoire of the Team Trump’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, I’ve never spoken with her, so just ignore the video and look at how big and magnanimous I’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 Corey’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.
