Which is a bonus

He's been so arrogant and dismissive with his FAKE NEWS! bullshit, and he's thumbed his nose assuming his minions would have his back

oops

Drumpf did it because someone in charge acted the parent role and made him say it. I've heard dial tones that sound more sincere. I wonder if he got milk and cookies after for being such a big boy.

Which should be philosophically impossible. It was already completely insincere, making it zero. A total lack.

Then he put out that last tweet about how his apology wasn't good enough for the fake media. I'm actually starting to understand why people believe him: it's just so totally fucking ludicrous. Insane. I think there have to be many Trumpsters that have simply had their poor brains twisted and warped by right wing "logic."

He is the president and has access to information that average citizens do not. He chose his first response to be a weak ass, self promoting pile of excrement. Then he had to come back and do it over so he read from a teleprompter. You can tell when Trump is at least fired up about something (he is rarely sincere) and he was not interested at all, in being there addressing the racism.

because I believe he sincerely wants John Kelly to remain with his administration. My belief is that he was forced to do this, and if it wasn't Kelly threatening to bolt, then it was Ivanka crying on his shoulder, and he wanted to make her happy.

He got dragged into doing this, and I can't think of any other time when that's ever happened.
