Knowing full well that Trump's repeated funding and assertions that Obama was an "illegal" president usurping the office, Trump's handlers have urged his to offer some convoluted "apology" and that he now believes that Obama was actually born in the U.S.
However, following Trump's usual hubris, his fake apology will be rephrased as a "victory" for him in having forced Obama to show his long form birth certificate.
This latest ploy will mitigate Trump's possible loss of some within his base who are STILL adamant (after 8 years) that a dark-skinned man could ever become president and that Obama MUST be a Kenyan usurper.
I would not expect for Trump to ever say, "I was completely wrong in assuming that Obama was a foreign born faker".........Rather, Trump will take "credit" for forcing Obama's hand in the BC issue, AND avoid the ensuing problematic question on the birther movement during the upcoming debates.
So, who here will accept Trump's latest misdirection at an "apology?"
He and his minions are certainly busy trying to spin this every which way from Sunday. He is in a long line of Republicans who can NEVER just take responsibility for their actions and say they were wrong. What is that? What moral center is missing in their brains that they can't just say "I was wrong about this". They always try to spin it as someone else's fault. Witness Trump. He is a nonstop liar and his lies are on video tape, yet he'll tell another ten lies to try to cover his first lie.
Why can't these people just admit they were wrong, or admit they lied, and put forth a mea culpa: - a statement in which you say that something is your fault. You know how yuuuge a breath of fresh air it would have been to hear Trump come out today and say 'yeah, that was a stupid idea on my part, I was wrong, Obama is and always was an American citizen'.
But toadstools can never come into the direct sunlight, it burns their skin.
