Trump said if there was anything he would try and redo it would be to soften his tone.
"I would like to have a much softer tone. I feel to a certain extent I have no choice, but maybe I do," Trump said. He attributed his tone during his first two years in office to wanting to get things done on his agenda, adding that he could have been softer in his delivery.
The president also stated that he had doubts about using a softer tone because he might have been "swamped" by his opposition.

He's facing the fact that Democrats are probably taking the House and he's trying to "make nice". Too little, too late, orange one. Let the investigations begin!

Including this. It's a lie. He only regrets it didn't work. Blue wave.

duforsure
(11,885 posts)I got a bridge to sell you. The Democrats are going to vote them all out of office , and this is the begining of things to come, and he knows it. Now the Democrats to get the younger vote on their side should at once pass Medical MJ federally and start the process of gaining their votes too, and stop their being criminalized for their prisons for profits. trump would have to have feeling to regret anything. Its all an act for con man trump now. The Dems need to send bill after bill to him to be signed showing his true intentions, not his BS. Especially issues more republicans are now supporting.

He has been an asshole all his life
Are people's memories that short that they don't remember his birther lies?
What people need to realize is that socio-paths will say and do anything. They have no sense of right or wrong.

(17,995 posts)Cutting his disabled nephews health Insurance. He has always been a useless blob,even in the days he cheated transferring his Fathers money. His sister, MaryAnne is also a crook, creating a non existent company to transfer her Fathers money. That is now under investigation.
Winning the office by cheating with Russians may be his worst mistake, now they are being exposed.

Someday, when TrumPutin and his crime family are locked away and can no longer damage decent society, I hope we have a functioning FCC and FTC that actually work for "consumers" instead of conglomerates.

I don't think Trump the abuser is brought up often enough, as if victims don't want to mention it.
Another list, this one of abuser traits and tricks. The shoe fits:

Perseus
(4,341 posts)trump, last two years you have been you, no reason to excuse yourself, you are a piece of crap, and you cannot escape that, that is the reason why the NY elite has never accepted you, you have no class. You dress a monkey with fine clothes, jewelry, allow it to sit on a golden toilet and it is still a monkey, and the fact that you don't have enough grey matter in your brain to understand that speaks volumes of who you are.
trump, you are a piece of crap, nothing you can say will change that, it hasn't been only the last two years, it has been all your life, you are one of those rare specimens that no matter what it receives, it doesn't learn, it leans automatically towards the bad and the ugly, it is in your blood, embedded in your brain and there is nothing you can do about it. I just hope that justice does what it is supposed to do and that you have plenty of time to think about your life from a prison cell, to think about all the people you have hurt, you may even have time to right a book, or scribble what comes to your pitiful mind to have someone make sense of it and ghostwrite it for you.

(12,601 posts)Your biggest regret should be that you and Melanoma moved into the WH after more than 3 million people said they'd prefer Hillary over you.
Your second biggest regret should be selling out our country to Putin.

(2,064 posts)First, hes not capable of feeling regret, empathy or a number of other normal human emotions.
Secondly his tone is deliberately cruel. Its part of the Nazi appeal to racism.
