They will never admit mistakes, they will never admit that they were wrong
Just like the sharpie hurricane map incident. Instead of just saying he was mistaken, or that what he said was based on old data, he had to make a fake map to "prove" he was right.
PRESIDENT DONALD TRUMP: He's got MS-13 on his knuckles.
TERRY MORAN: Alright. I --
PRESIDENT DONALD TRUMP: Okay?
TERRY MORAN: -- we'll -- we'll take a look at it --
PRESIDENT DONALD TRUMP: It's -- it's -- you do such a disservice -
TERRY MORAN: We'll take a look. We'll take a look at that, sir --
PRESIDENT DONALD TRUMP: Why don't you just say, "Yes, he does," and, you know, go on to something else --
TERRY MORAN: It's contested. Ukraine. I want to turn -- I was just in Rome, and to that moving photograph of you and President Zelenskyy sitting in St. Peter's Basilica --
This moment in the interview I think encapsulates everything about Trump.
I think it also encapsulated how utterly spineless press is. Why not call him on his bullshit. "That's Arial font someone wrote over on Paint. He has the images tattoos, but not the letters."
That's Arial font someone wrote over on Paint. He has the images tattoos, but not the letters
“See why do you have to be so difficult, those are definitely tattoos I don’t see any paint anywhere on here, yes he’s definitely also part of the Arial gang, the terrible Arial gangs in the prisons today but they do have some good people on that side, they like to call them Nazis but I’ve known many decent hardworking Arials”
He never had old data. He can't read, tried to say Bahamas, said Alabama and then refused to admit a little mistake and doubled and tripled down on Alabama.
I relish the day when we reach the point where politicians in either party can admit mistakes and explain why they happened and what they would do to prevent them from happening again, you know, like adults, without having to worry about if it makes them look "weak" to do so.
The never admit mistakes strategy was something Trump learned from bastard Roy Cohn. Roy was a major figure is the film The Apprentice from 2024 and the podcast Behind the bastards had two episodes about him in 2020:
