The week's question
In December 2024, in the thread "Re: BRK: Why Not XOM?", BreckHutHigh asked the members: "What about the long road trips with kids?" This week it is put to everyone again. The button below opens the small thread re-asking it - read what others have said so far, then give your own answer as an ordinary reply.

Trump, on the hand, takes no responsibility. He continues to lie and defame his accusers.

Why is that?


SNIP
“Despite Sanders’ comment on “Meet the Press,” though, Trump did issue a rare apology for his comments on the tape. Trump’s campaign initially released a public response from Trump which stated, “This was locker room banter, a private conversation that took place many years ago. Bill Clinton has said far worse to me on the golf course — not even close. I apologize if anyone was offended.”

The following day, Trump issued a longer video response in which he said, “I said it, I was wrong, and I apologize.”

Trump, Oct. 8, 2016: I’ve never said I’m a perfect person, nor pretended to be someone that I’m not. I’ve said and done things I regret, and the words released today on this more than a decade-old video are one of them. Anyone who knows me, know these words don’t reflect who I am. I said it, I was wrong, and I apologize. … I’ve said some foolish things, but there is a big difference between the words and actions of other people. Bill Clinton has actually abused women and Hillary has bullied, attacked, shamed and intimidated his victims. We will discuss this more in the coming days. See you at the debate on Sunday.”

The issue was raised at the second presidential debate two days later. And Trump again described his words as “locker room talk” but he again said the words, “I apologize.””

factcheck.org - Trumps rare apology

Bill Clinton groveled and apologized when his back was up against a wall for his sexual misconducts. Clinton’s apology was all okay with the left and the dems but,
when Trump apologized for his misdeed he is called a liar and unapologetic by the left and dems.

Why is that?
