Re: 2020 Election
No, there are cases of Trump publicly apologising.

I see Tim Ryan has recognized the futility of his campaign and dropped out. It's about time a few more did this.

His mouth & brain combination are a "gift that keeps giving"
There's not a day goes by when he doesn't come out with a "verbal duck up"

The correct way for him to explain his earlier statement would be to produce a map of the southern US with the "projected penetration" of Mexican illegal immigrants drawn in with a sharpie to show that it does indeed encompass part of Colorado.

Please try to keep up Sherlock.
"Sen. Elizabeth Warren apologized to a largely Native American audience for “harm I have caused” after years of occasionally identifying herself as Native American, as well as for releasing a DNA test last year that she said supported her ancestry claims. "

I agree , but Trump manages to do it every time he opens his mouth before his brain works !

Re: 2020 Election
It’s not a mistake at all. Conducting government by Twitter achieves two things: first, it bypasses the press and allows Trump to connect directly with his supporters without the filter of the press. Second, it means he can take control of the news cycle whenever he wishes. The television networks spend all day jumping on the latest Trump tweet outrage bandwagon while actual policy is quietly conducted in the background. Combined these two factors with his total lack of shame and the Trump White House ends up not being subjected to the same scrutiny as previous administrations.

Well, I dunno, koop. I'm not sure it's a mistake. It's a part of the man's electioneering style, and it seems to me that it's been quite effective. As you say, it is working for him. I find it rather refreshing for someone holding a high office to speak directly to the masses instead of leaving communications to bland spokesmen.
