That looks like a calculated non-apology. An actual apology probably doesn’t exist.
He said “I’m sorry if anyone was offended”. He placed the blame on the reaction that others had to his abhorrent statements, not on his actions themselves. He didn’t seem to care that he was in the wrong, only that the reaction from the people was politically inconvenient for him.
Right, I think that this is really the only thing that comes close to an apology speaks for itself and the type of person Trump is. Every success is because of him and every failure is because of someone else.
Which is an extremely important distinction. “I’m sorry you were offended” is not a true apology, and everyone should be aware of this whether regarding Trump or other bullies you may encounter in your life.
