Trump Refuses to Apologize for Obama Gorilla Video

I find this thing increasingly tedious...which I wouldn't have thought possible... How could it possibly get more so?

Gotta say, part of me is with Trump on this one.

   The media and the left (but I repeat myself) aren't interested in actual remorse or honest admission of error--not that Donald I Don't Make Mistakes* Trump would ever admit error. They're out to destroy him no matter what, and they want an apology because they think it will give them an additional weapon to fight that fight.

   Now, in a civilized group operating under civilized rules, an admission of error should count, to at least some extent, in someone's favor. That's not the way it works in politics as bloodsport. Or, rather: politics as civil war...

Trump is making a tactical decision--he calculates that refusing to apologize is more likely to be a winning move (relatively speaking, given the fix he's put himself in) compared to apologizing. And he may well be right. There's a good chance it would drive the left/media Reavers to even more rabid heights of rabid, rabid rabidity. Refusing to apologize will do so, too...but, in a way, he's using the left's own tactics against it: by just refusing to acknowledge plain facts, he's hoping to partially reduce them to sputtering bafflement. Maybe it's kinda his version of I don't know what a woman is... Sure, it's obvious the he and they are lying...but admitting that will focus the energies of their enemies. Instead, it's probably better to drive them to tear their own hair out in frustration.

   At this point, I hate both sides so much that I'd kind of like to see them personally destroy each other while the country slips out the back way.

   That's not an attempt to both-sides Trump out of this one--though odds are he was just inattentive and didn't even watch the video to the end. Dude is not a racist--or no more of one than any ordinary person. Though, when he's mad at someone (and he kinda hates Obama...largely though not entirely because of the Correspondent's Dinner fiasco), he'll say virtually anything about them...so...

   Trump is personally very bad for the country. He not only isn't an exemplar (as I think the President should be), he's almost a paradigm of how not to be. Not in his personal life and personal interactions with ordinary people, apparently--but that doesn't matter. Publicly, he's an example of how not to be. 

   I say that despite thinking that, policy-wise, he's taken huge strides toward saving Western Civilization...with the usual caveat that what is wrought by Executive Orders can be undone by them...and the worthless, good-for-nothing Republican legislature basically won't do its damn job. So Trump is likely just giving us a four-year respite. Look at what the Democrats are doing to Virginia--that may basically be the fate of the nation in e.g. Gavin Newsome's America, post 2028...

   But anyway: I say: thank God for Trump...but also: to hell with Trump.

   It's just important that the Dems go to hell too...

   The image that comes to mind is, nerdily/goofily: if Saruman instead of Gandalf had been at the Bridge of Kazad-Dum...and he and the Balrog had fallen into the darkness, hands locked around each others' throats... 

   Stopping the Dems so long as they are in the thrall of the insane, woketarian left is still the most important thing, I think...but we're suffering from more than mere Trump fatigue...he, too, is doing real harm to the country.

    How did everything get so goddamned stupid, anyway?
