He didn't really apologize for anything specific, so no.

It's the kind of 'Humble Non-Apology' that they just love. Only thing that would have been better to them would be him saying he won't apologize for the failings of others.

The problem with "How much worse can it get?" is that it only works on people who don't actually know how much worse it can get.

I lost track, how many times have we hit the Days Since Trump Inserted Feet In Mouth reset button today

Only once. While a display that showed the hours since the last fuckup would be more precise, accounting felt it would be more expensive in time and money due to the hourly (or half-hourly on days like today) editing compared to daily and having to buy more than a single card-holder and three cards (0, 1, and for extreme circumstances, 2).

Depending on how early in the daily news cycle Trump shoots his mouth off, the daily counter has the potential to save even more time and effort because sometimes it can be set to 0 and then ignored for 2-3 days at a time.

Clinton's team is getting started on debate prep already and they're having a difficult job casting Trump's stand-in. My tip is Jared Leto, such a dedicated method actor that he turned himself into a monumental rear end in a top hat for his latest role. Or could they just do it on the cheap and trawl run-down psychiatric hospitals for grossly undermedicated paranoid schizophrenics. What say you goons?

It's 1980's Andrew Dice Clay. Why are we even talking about this?

It's a classic tactic that appeals to the gullible by sounding sincere, but not actually acknowledging fault or that the other side has any valid disagreements. Basically dismissing the opposition while proclaiming how great and humble they are.The fact that a raging egomaniac like Trump let someone talk him into even this is amazing.
