This was the big Trump/Kelly interview theyâve been pimping for weeks?
He regrets the backlash, not the insulting.
Yeah, I guess so
Quick, someone get me a KleenexâŚ
âYeah, I guess soâ is not the equivalent of âI regret insulting John McCain and Carly Fiorinaâ. Itâs more like a petulant child being ordered to apologize to someone by their motherâŚ
âDonny, are you sorry you hit John?â âYeah, I guess soâ
[Presumptive GOP nominee Donald Trump told Fox Newsâ Megyn Kelly Tuesday night he regrets attacking Carly Fiorina for her appearance and Sen. John McCain (R-AZ) for being a prisoner of war.]
Until 10 PM?
This is quite charming.
No you donât, you liar.
Donald would kill for her hair styling secretsâŚ
He continued: â***But to look back and say, âgee whiz, I wish I didnât do this or that,***â I donât think thatâs good. I donât even think, in a certain way, ***I donât even think thatâs healthy.***â
Just to wrap up - self examination and learning from mistakes is âŚunhealthy
This is a man who, according to him, has never asked for forgiveness for anything in his life. To do so would imply that he somehow did or said or omitted something that he later believed to have been a mistake. And Donnie canât admit that anything heâs ever done isnât the best/greatest/most amazing (really, I could go on but whatâs the pointâŚ) thing anyone has ever said or done.
How the FundiGelicals, who are all about the redemption story arc, can get behind this clearly sociopathic skid mark is clearly beyond me.
I Regret Insulting John McCain, Carly Fiorina
unless⌠you know⌠my poll numbers go up⌠then I was rightâŚ
iâm getting tired of these crappy overly reductive semi-misleading headlines at TPM. headlines by nature are reductive. but TPM readers are smart and interested and donât need misleading eye grabbing summaries to click on a story.
the main gist of his response seems to be that heâs not very regretful about it. Something along the lines of âDonald Trump partially regrets insulting John McCain, Carly Fiorinaâ would be more honest and just as clickable.
the reason it bothers me is that even though I read the article and know that he sort of barely admitted to barely regretting it, I canât get the headline out of my mind. even though iâm smart, it skews the overall impression i leave with.
okay, rant over. I just wish the headlines corresponded more with the story.
This is a chronic problem, but if Iâm not mistaken the headline writer is a different person than the feature writer. The first is looking to be snappy and attention grabbing, the latter is trying to present a story. The goals rarely meet each other.
Itâs become Trumping Points Memo, go figure.
On a positive note, at least the headline was spelled correctly. 
Lying then or lying now? My moneyâs on lying now.
Megyn Kellyâs new hairdo is inspired by those of German female prison guards of the early-mid 1940s. It is timely given Trampâs political views and am sure it is helping Megynâs ratings with the Fox audiences, which have shifted nearly as far right as Germany in the 1940s.
Iâd say Trump partially regretted it then immediately walked it back. âBut to look back and say, âgee whiz, I wish I didnât do this or that,â I donât think thatâs good.â Can you genuinely regret something and at the same time not wish you hadnât done it? I donât think so.
My headline would be: Trump to Megyn Kelly: Yes, No, Kinda Maybe. I Donât Regret Insulting McCain and Fiorina.
âYeah, I guess so, but itâs sick and unhealthy to actually regret in any serious, ongoing way the wronging of othersâ is to ethical behavior what eating a fucking taco bowl is to Hispanic outreach.
