It's not his style to acknowledge miscues (or outright lies), but in making the Obama wire tap allegations it is increasingly clear that he has absolutely no evidence. Even his closest allies are refusing to back him up.
Is it possible that Trump will finally humble himself and admit that he goofed? Maybe even issue a mea culpa? Imagine that, acting like a real human being!

(6,338 posts)...this is gen 2...the fake BHO "wiretap" allegations.
Trump spent 6 years addicted to the attention he got with the opinion of a fake birth certificate. No facts, just opinion. This wiretap chit is his was to rebuild his confidence...get a new ball rolling on the Trump fact-less express.
In answer to your specific question - IIRC he did say he was wrong about the birth certificate. It came as a 6 word comment, mumbled under his breath, at a presser that then spent 60 minutes touring the press through the new Washington Post Office Trump hotel.
So...he'll admit this mistake in 3-4 years with a brief comment as he's getting into a closing elevator...as in "no big deal".
He is such an asshat.

Give a dogwhistle to the racists that he doesn't believe this and neither should they.

(5,810 posts)He hopes we will just let it go, too. He WILL TAKE CREDIT for something whether it is due to his "brilliant" decision making skills or leadership or not. But blame? He doesn't have that word in his vocabulary except to apply it others.

(17,255 posts)but it doesn't get any more conclusive than this, it seems. He's got NOTHIN'. He could save a little face by admitting he farked up, but he can't bring himself to do it.
SAD!
