Since Trump is a moron, even if he does apologize, on Sunday, when this gets brought up, he's not going to be able to recite his prepared remarks and he's going to make it worse

 

[Effect]

I bet this statement will lack any emotion as well. He's not sorry and he's being forced to do this.

NC Governor out here frontrunning



But who are you voting for, Governor?

That's right. Here in NC, we don't believe in grabbing women by the pussy. We just check their birth certificate to make sure they have one before letting them sit down to pee!

 

[Grief.exe]

oh man, I am glued to the TV. I can't wait to see what he says.

This is like the birther press conference all over again.

There's no way this apology goes over well, this is a guy that completely lacks empathy.

 

[Randolph Freelander]

This will be like a hostage video.

 

[JHoNNy1OoO]

Kinda amazed that this has blown up to the degree it has. This is not out of nowhere.

We have video tape with clear audio! Only reason. And there's more...

 

[Fragamemnon]

This thing taped on video is going to look like something out of a hostage scene.

May be my favorite tweet so far.

Maggie Haberman ‏@maggieNYT 1m1 minute ago
Trump's aides have been quite clear-eyed with him about how bad this all is, according to ppl briefed on discussions.

This video from Colbert about today is hilarious lol.

"Hillary Clinton started the 'grab the pussy' controversy. Tonight, I am ending it."

I wonder if he cried.

 

[metalslimer]

Trump is going to release this video and the GOP will act like they forgive him only for more tapes to come out

GOP strategist on Hannity: "Both campaigns are in crisis mode right now"

GOP makes no sense at all.

"A total crisis! I glanced in the window, they were ripping paper into scraps and throwing it everywhere, doubled over in what was obviously despair, a few people were even crying hysterically! And everyone was drinking heavily, though I note Hillary is so snooty she only keeps fancy french champagne around the office. Lots of people huddled together hugging too. Really, just a total crisis over there."

 

[Holmes]

Get ready for multiple Politico/NYT/WaPo/etc articles in early 2019 that include a paragraph like "...but many republican insiders believe President Clinton only managed to defeat Donald Trump in the final weeks of the campaign, and this belief has them very confident in the upcoming election despite etc etc etc...."

It fits right in with the revisionist history they will inevitably tell, which is that Trump didn't really exist, but when he kinda did exist he almost won before losing at the last minute. And thus President Clinton is not truly legitimate.

Reminds me when Republicans were blaming Obama for the economy right away in January and February. Or that he only won because the economy crashed.

 

[RustyNails]

It's a taped video because his campaign can control what comes out of his mouth. If they sent him live to the press he'd have started talking shit about Billy Bush in 10 seconds.

 

[Randolph Freelander]

Trump is going to release this video and the GOP will act like they forgive him only for more tapes to come out

He should go ahead and do a full confessional.

Of course, then the video wouldn't be ready until sometime next September.

 

[aaaaa0]

.

I bet he'll make this apology, and then tomorrow more video from a different incident will drop.

It's going to be glorious.

 

[JHoNNy1OoO]

I wonder if he cried.

I was just thinking to myself how crazy it would be if he did. But of course that's a fairy tale.

 

[A Link to the Past]

The sad thing is that since it's video taped, there's no potential for him to just trail off and go off the rails.

 

[RastaMentality]

if this apology helps in ANY way, hillary needs to go nuclear.

 

[User1608]

Making fun of immigrants and black people is okay. It goes down quick when you start messing with white women that aren't Hillary.

Pretty much.

At least it will stop a fascist from fucking over the world.

@DineshDSouza

I truly, truly, hate this idiot.

 

[Knuckle Sandwich]

We'll get plenty of that on Sunday.

 

[ArkhamFantasy]

Absolutely, its like a child being forced by a parent/teacher to apologize to the child he was being mean to.

 

[A Link to the Past]

We'll get plenty of that on Sunday.

That involves waiting, I want me collapse nowww

Granted less than 48 hours of waiting, but a wait is a wait :|

 

[kess]

They must be having a hell of a time getting this video made. It's 11PM on the East Coast lol

 

[Jarmel]

Making fun of immigrants and black people is okay. It goes down quick when you start messing with white women that aren't Hillary.

That's what's so sad to me about this. It's this of all things that is seeming to sink his career.

 

[balladofwindfishes]

Well, Sunday's view count just sky rocketed, I assume

People want to watch the train wreck

 

[ItWasMeantToBe19]

Jason Chaffetz (R, UT-03) is the first congressman to unendorse Trump after his comments.

 

[RastaMentality]

to top all of this off, i'm going to Reno, NV to register voters for the Cortez-Masto and HRC campaign! i'm sure people will be amped as hell.

 

[HylianTom]

Another one - Jason Chaffetz!

@BenWinslow:

BREAKING NEWS: In live interview on @fox13, @jasoninthehouse RETRACTS endorsement for Donald Trump. #utpol

 

[A Link to the Past]

They must be having a hell of a time getting this video made. It's 11PM on the East Coast lol

They keep having to do retakes every time Trump mentions Bill or goes off on misogynist rants

 

[SexyFish]

Another one - Jason Chaffetz!

@BenWinslow:

IT BEGINS

 

[Vestal]

Another one - Jason Chaffetz!

@BenWinslow:

Its happening??

Yes its happening....

 

[ArkhamFantasy]

Damn, CNN going all in. "Sounds alot like Roger Ailes, his long time friend" "He's part of his campaign now right?" "Yes, he's part of the campaign"

 

[Boke1879]

Doubt the apology helps at all. You're already seeing some retract. After the debate I think you'll clearly see more of this.

And yea it's taking too damn long for them to get this video out.

 

[Tranqueris]

It's a taped video because his campaign can control what comes out of his mouth. If they sent him live to the press he'd have started talking shit about Billy Bush in 10 seconds.

A brave intern needs to send out the wrong version with Trump having some kind of meltdown and make this 10 times worse.

 

[Randolph Freelander]

They're on take 19 right now.

 

[A Link to the Past]

Is this too optimistic

 

[chefbags]

Fuuuck

 

[ItWasMeantToBe19]

The vote in Utah is going to be so weird this year. I have no idea what's going to happen.

edit: Mississippi and Alaska and Utah and South Carolina would be blue states in the best-case scenario. Maybe Indiana too, Link.

 

[Wiz]

This apology won't mean much when there is the possibility of even worse things coming.

 

[JHoNNy1OoO]

Jason Chaffetz (R, UT-03) is the first congressman to unendorse Trump after his comments.

That asswipe will still be voting for him.

 

[BSsBrolly]

I'm gonna do my part for Hillary.

 

[A Link to the Past]

Maybe they're making templates for his upcoming apologies

 

[SexyFish]

Is this too optimistic

It is

Spoiler

not optimistic enough.

 

[kevin1025]

This apology won't mean much when there is the possibility of even worse things coming.

The best move is for him to have his apology tonight, then release another video in the morning.

 

[balladofwindfishes]

Is this too optimistic

You could possibly get away with turning Utah yellow and Alaska blue

 

[Strimei]

Apology won't mean much. He'll shoot himself in the foot soon enough anyway, but on top of that the audio's going to be used for so many ads and will be tied around his neck.

And do apologies even really work for things like this? At least for me usually I just go "he's not really sorry, more sorry he got caught."
