Trump: Clinton must apologize for 'death and destruction' she caused
The Hill ^ | 08/19/16 | Jessie Hellmann

Posted on 08/20/2016 1:21:38 AM PDT by Enlightened1

Donald Trump says Hillary Clinton must apologize for the "death and destruction" she caused during her tenure as secretary of State.

"Her tenure as secretary of State may be regarded as the most disastrous in U.S. history, but yet she is totally without remorse," Trump said Friday at a campaign rally at Dimondale, Mich.

"Her failed decisions as secretary of State unleashed ISIS onto the world. But has she ever apologized for the death and destruction she has caused?"

Trump, the GOP presidential nominee, called his Democratic rival "indifferent to the suffering she has caused."

"She offers no apologies for selling government favors. No apologies for unleashing ISIS. No apologies for open borders. No apologies for lying about her emails, or about Benghazi," he said.

Clinton has said that her biggest regret as secretary of State was the deadly 2012 terrorist attacks on the U.S. compound Benghazi, Libya, and has frequently apologized for her using a private email setup while she was in office.

She needs to go to jail for what she has done. An apology would not be nearly enough. Prosecution and a guilty plea for a deal to reduce Chelsea’s prison sentence is the only apology I will accept

Good strategy on Trump’s part.

By framing all facets of her actions into the “apology space” she is darned if you do and darned if you don’t.

If she defends these, or tries to explain these, - without an apology - it infers her justification. This exposes her to further criticism as she is implicitly or indirectly approving of these negative result actions.

If she apologizes, which is an honest & moral path, it opens her up for criticism of these negative result actions.

She must be made to apologize.

For a liberal, the worst thing to do is apologize.

Don’t you ever wonder why the Liberals (Democrats) were always demanding an apology from the Republicans? To apologize means you admit that you lost. An admission.of guilt.

Trump knows this and will never apologize for anything. When is the last time you heard a Liberal apologize? (Never)

Trump MUST force Hillary to apologize!

That was a great line and statement.

President Trump being Presidential before the election.

IMHO Trump made a chess move ahead before this.

To effectively force HRC into an “apology trap”, Trump first cleaned his slate in “expressing some regret” on past remarks that “caused personal pain”. This is a stark change from the strategy of admitting no fault, but it had to be done for the next step.

(btw - This was, I believe, an honest showing (i.e. he was honest about it) - and it was well received by the public, as any gesture of honesty would be.)

Trump then drove home the key point “I can promise you this: I will always tell you the truth”.

HRC now, to match this, needs to show she is truthful, honest, and has regret - thus will express a form of an apology. I won’t hold my breath.

He also challenged obama to get iff the golf course and go to Lousiana
This makes Donald the winner whether obama does his job, or not
Brilliant

Also his new campaign manager, asked about “ womens issues” , said “ all issues are women’s issues”

More brilliance
Full of win

"...But has she ever apologized for the death and destruction she has caused?"

This is a rhetorical question making the point that she has not owned up to the destruction she has caused. The headline however claimed he said she "must" apologize.

That is not what he said. Nobody expects her to do what is right, so nobody is asking her to apologize. And at this point what difference does it make? She only "apologizes" as a way of lying. For example she will "apologize" for being a little careless about the emails and for mis-rembering a few details, when in fact it is blantantly obvious she has intentionally set up the illicit email server to hide her selling of favors. Blantantly lied about it explicitly. Blantantly stonewalled for months wearing people's patience down. Intentionally deleted emails and lied about their content. And now that she is obviously as guilty as hell she tries to pass it off as a little lapse of judgement in best office practices and being confused by a barrage of questions from mean people that won't leave her alone...and this the "Hill" calls an "apology" as if she has owned up to her crap??? What a load of garbage!

For what passes as a mind for your average demented libtard, an apology only comes in the form of statement of regret that their despicable, perverted, and/or outright destructive actions are not correctly “understood” by the masses, due to their “inability” to recognize the libtard’s true brilliance.

Now you know why they keep her sedated, she isn’t used to folks calling her out like this. She usually has them killed or otherwise marginalized..

Watched the whole speech - the wife heard his voice and came out to watch with me. When he got done, I mentioned that he's on a real roll and then was surprised when the announcer said we had just listened to a 41 minute speech.

It didn't seem that long and would have kept me interested if it had been twice as long.

He's hitting his stride and it should be at the right time to carry it home. Also starting to see some ads from him now. It's all starting to gel.

GO TRUMP!!!

If there are those who oppose Hillary and who aren't donating to Trump, then they really aren't opposing Hillary - time for all of us to dig deep and invest ourselves in what may be the most important election in the past 40 years and for the next 30 years.

Time to get off the potty and donate to Trump and Donate to FR while we're at it.

“Clinton has said that her biggest regret as secretary of State was the deadly 2012 terrorist attacks on the U.S. compound Benghazi, Libya, and has frequently apologized for her using a private email setup while she was in office.”

Regret is not apology. Regret is a feeling about yourself, not the other person or harm you have done or allowed.

Apologizing about emails, only when helpful to further her ambitions is not really an apology, it’s just a tool to further her selfish pursuits and because it helped her try to save face. She has still made statements that show either she does not mentally grasp the seriousness of what wrong she’s done or that she just does not really care that she did it and so her apology was done for false reasons.

New rumor. Hillary is just in the race to pump up the donations to the Clinton Foundation. She will bow out before the election due to health reasons. But really she will get out before she is blown out in the election.

In his 2015 UN speech Putin said the same thing about Obama’s policy of destruction and death in north africa and the middle east. He basically said, have you not learned from the mistakes the USSR made in the past as it tried to force ideology on countries and control them.

I think that is why he would support Trump...he has seen just how bad 8 years of Obama has hurt all the world. And he can see a Hillary presidency doing even more damage.

Here is the his speech...start watching at about the 6 minute mark...https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q13yzl6k6w0
