Washington (CNN) — People seem surprised, for some reason, that the White House has not issued a public apology to Arizona Republican Sen. John McCain.

But they shouldn't be. If there's an implied mantra of President Donald Trump's political life, it is this: Don't apologize. For anything. Ever.

In this case, it would be for an aide's leaked comment during a private meeting that McCain's opposition to CIA nominee Gina Haspel doesn't matter because McCain, who is suffering from brain cancer, is dying anyway.

It was an obnoxious comment about an American hero. But it was not apology-worthy in Trump's White House. In the pantheon of Trumpian insults, it barely registers.

for anything since he is never wrong...never, ever.

I read an article about him growing up in Queens and they spoke with people who knew him back then. One of his former teacher's son told the reporter that his father said little Donny was a "shit head" when he was in his classroom. Others said that even when he was in grade school Donny would say something and when it was proven to be wrong he never would admit it, he would repeat it instead. "Show me the boy and I'll show you the man" can be applied here.

shoes, I'll never apologize to this little POS or his family. If anything, I'll apologize that it took me so long to get to this point of stomping on them. GOTV and retire this idiotic family to the dustbin of history and sue/prosecute them to the high heavens.
