(NBC) - Donald Trump says he regrets retweeting an unflattering photo of the wife of rival Ted Cruz, a rare move for the Republican front-runner more known for his boasts than backtracking.
"Yeah, it was a mistake," Trump told New York Times.
"If I had to do it again, I wouldn't have sent it."
The retweet set off a war of words between the two candidates, and gave fresh fuel to Democratic candidates and other critics who marveled at a Republican presidential race that had descended into a fight over the candidates' wives.
Trump retweeted the photo compilation showing an unflattering picture of Heidi Cruz and his own wife, Melania, after he accused Cruz of being behind or at least knowing about an ad that featured an old picture of Melania Trump posing nude for GQ magazine.
Cruz has denied any involvement in the ad, which was shared online. Cruz scolded Trump after the retweet, admonishing the businessman: "Donald, real men don't attack women."
told Dowd, according to the column. "So what's your next question?"
Then you need to open your ears!!You’re sitting in front of a computer.....Google it!!!
The Cruz campaign didn't use that photo. Enough with the lies already.
Facts only irritate them!!!
My hearing is fine, it didn’t happen...even though Cruz said it did.
The Cruz campaign benefited by the usage of that photo... enough of the deception.
Good! A candidate who not only raises issues that others won’t ever touch, but who can also admit a mistake.
Now can we move on from this stupid and immature civil war? Can we FINALLY concentrate our ire, our thoughts, our words and deeds on the traitor class, on winning the revolt against the GOPe tyranny? Because if we don’t, say hello to President Obama v. 2.0.
#93 That’s different. That’s great factless reporting to be used as Trump Republic Investigative Reporting of Record for trumpkin smear jobs. Except for the stories about Sarah Palin, those are lies.
/s
Where can I find that apology? I see his declaration of hindsight in the story above, but I see no apology.
No, he is a businessman.
It just happens that politicians and successful businessmen have to be negotiators in order to come up with mutually acceptable deals. That's a skill needed for a lot of professions. Having that skill, and being very good at it, does not make one a politician.
You hear what you want. The fact you make no attempt to seek the truth speaks for it self!!!
Until he changes them a week later.
I guess I missed it...link please?
Oh you can’t push a damn button.....you don’t want to know....you choose do promote a lie when you could easily disprove it.
Excellent find, my FRiend.

there ya go
“Trump is so immature. It’s embarrassing.”
His behavior borders on psychotic. What adult man behaves that way? What decent man would even consider acting that way, even for 5 seconds?
As for an “apology” - when he spends weeks seeing it affect his ability to win, he now says it was “a mistake”. Not wrong. Just a goof. Oops! Like adding 2+2 and getting 5. Not “wrong”, as in “bad”.
And honestly, his tweet was an insult to his own wife. It emphasizes what he thinks of HER - eye candy to show off Trump’s ability to buy meat on the market.
“Cruz telling Trump that real men don’t attack women after his campaign used the photo of Melania”
Even Trump admitted that was a lie. Get up to speed bro.
Ditto to that.
I do think “I shouldn’t have done that” qualifies as an apology. There’s no need to be the phraseology police.
