Specifics. Apologize for what?A serious question for Trump supporters, or obviously for anyone else who wishes to weigh in. I promise to try my best to not become too inflammatory with my words here, but I sincerely want to know why you feel Trump will never apologize for anything that he says? The common defense by Trump supporters when he retaliates against his critics with something nasty, unfounded, or completely inappropriate or un-presidential is........"Well, he just misspoke," or "that's not what he really meant."
If this is the case, then for the life of me, I cant understand why he simply won't take the high road and just admit it when he is wrong on an issue or when he "misspeaks." Can he help himself? Does anyone see this as a potential problem at this point in the campaign? Is it a potential problem for him should he somehow win the election? Serious questions people.

When has a Birther ever admitted they were wrong?

You first have to establish what they argued was wrong.
No one has done that yet.
Specifics. Apologize for what?
Once you establish what it is you think needs an apology, we can then discuss whether not such an apology needs be given.

Because he has a giant ego. That's why he'll never apologize for anything.

Someone on CNN who supposedly has known Trump well for many years summed it up. "Trump never apologizes. Ever."

I think it actually goes further than just a giant ego, I think he actually suffers from narcissism. He is living the narcissist's dream.
I am referring to the things that he says that the majority of Americans, regardless of race, creed, color, or party affiliation agree are inappropriate. The things that the left hones in on and the things that his own supporters, and fellow party members distance themselves from him on.
Like making a joke today about the veteran who presented him with his purple heart, by saying, "I've always wanted one of those......" So inappropriate, disrespectful, and dishonorable to all of those who've been given the medal.
I'm not a supporter, but I know exactly why he won't: He's a business man.
Business 101: Do NOT apologize. Give condolences, well wishes for a better turn out, reshape the concern to focus on something that doesn't need an apology - etc.
They actually teach these things in seminars and college courses. Presentations on "You're the CEO of a medicine company and found that one of your medications killed 1,000 innocent children. Write a letter to the grieving parents without apologizing" are a common thing.
No joke.
He won't - because never before did he HAVE to. In business, give your condolences or 'I recognize the situation is___' type anything - it's the expected norm.
Apologizing means 'I am wrong' - and in business you cannot EVER doubt yourself.
To be honest - this element of business management practices rubs me the wrong way. I don't like it.
Seriously? That comment is offensive? Sorry, but it seems like an innocent remark to me.
Are you a veteran? Have you earned a purple heart?
Why would that matter? Did you ever think that he didn't mean to offend by the comment?
Trump will say "Maybe I should have not done(what ever the thing is)" or "It's OK, I like him, he's a good guy" but no there will almost never be sorry I am in the word order " I am sorry" with Trump.
WWE rules do not allow it.
:drink
It would matter....if you were. Many good people have given up quite a bit to receive one of those. Its insulting to make jokes about it. My best friend, whom I proudly served with during Desert Storm lost an arm and his eyesight to receive a purple heart. He doesn't see it as a joke.
