Trump Camp Goes on Apology Tour Promising It Will Be Different This Time

[Teddy B 17,251]

All aboard the Trump Apology Tour! He's not sorry for any one thing in particular, but he is generally sorry.

Donald Trump is sorry. He's super duper, for realsies sorry. He's so sorry, that he actually said this in a speech last night.

“Sometimes, in the heat of the debate and speaking on a multitude of issues, you don’t choose the right words or you say the wrong thing. I have done that, and I regret it, particularly where it may have caused personal pain."

This morning, he showed how sorry he was by sending his campaign manager around to promise he's totally for real sorry. Sort of like an apology tour, I suppose.

In my life, I have often dealt with people that are, for lack of a better word, abusive. And before my trolls attack, no, not in my family. But I assure you I've encountered such people and I've seen how they operate and I've experienced exactly what Trump is doing right now.

This quote from campaign manager, Kellyanne Conway, as proxy for Trump, is actually the perfect example of how abusers operate.

"I hope that everybody who has criticized him at some point, for being insensitive or for mocking someone, at least shows some recognition and some forgiveness."

This is very typical. He's apologized. He's not asked for forgiveness, explained how he was wrong, or even specified what he's wrong about. But he's generally apologized. And therefore, without any other information, the onus is on us to forgive. Because that's the Christian thing to do. And if we don't... well, that's not very Christian now is it?

I've witnessed this behavior from serial abusers more times than I can count. Once they've said sorry, if forgiveness is not immediately given, the abuser will actually begin to blame the abused for holding a grudge. "I SAID SORRY, WHAT MORE DO YOU WANT?"

I dont know which Trump creeps me out more. The one accusing all Mexican immigrants of being rapists or the one providing everyone a blanket apology particularly if they have "been harmed:

Redstate sums it up pretty nicely in a nutshell. It's exactly like a serial abuser.
