“
‘I’ve never said I’m a perfect person, nor pretended to be a person I’m
not,” Trump said. “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 knows these words don’t reflect who I am. I said it, I was wrong, and I apologize.’
Trump
said his campaigning had changed him, and he pledged to ‘be a better
man tomorrow’ and ‘never let you down.’ He said the video was “nothing
more than a distraction from the important issues we’re facing today.’ ”
This
quote was taken from an article in the Atlantic, and showcases the
hypocrisy of Donald Trump. Saying you are sorry for the things you have
said in the past doesn’t ring true, because you have recently continued
to say the same things about women, Mexicans, Muslims—actually the list
is pretty extensive. This means you must have gotten real sorry in the
last few days, and I would bet your sorrow stems from the fact that you
got outed because you do not seem to see any moral or ethical wrong in
your current campaign statements. You say that actual evidence of your
values and behavior is but a distraction from important issues facing
us, but your entire campaign has been a distraction from the things this
country needs to address: health care, immigration, an epidemic of
shootings by criminals and police—again, this list is quite extensive.
We don't deserve as President a philandering, draft-dodging,
tax-evading, cheating huckster whose penchant for lying is only exceeded
by reviled leaders of nations that support terrorism and genocide. Your
moral character is a reflection on the old adage: Nothing is so bad
that it cannot be used as a wretched example.
