Donald Trump has taken a lot of heat for re-tweeting a post critical of Hillary Clinton, which contained an image of a Star of David atop a pile of money, which many recognize as an anti-Semitic symbol. Although his campaign quickly removed the image, Donald now says that it should have stayed on there, and would defend the tweet.
I don't think trump is anti-Semitic. He didn't create the Star of David on money image; it was lifted off a white supremacist website. But the person who created the image in the first place most certainly intended it as an anti Jewish reference. If Donald had said, "Hey I'm sorry. I didn't realize that was on there," he could be excused. But Donald did not do this. Donald Trump is pathologically incapable of admitting he made a mistake.
Yeah, he's said publicly several times that he never makes a mistake or does anything wrong that he has to apologize for. I've read that he has said that privately also. In other words, he believes he's a perfect human being.
Remember what he told Jimmy Fallon and it's actually softer than what he usually tells others of how perfect he is never being wrong to anybody in his life: “I think apologizing’s a great thing, but you have to be wrong,” he said. “I will absolutely apologize, sometime in the hopefully distant future, if I’m ever wrong.”
Most believe that never having the need to apologize shows strength. Many women admire that in a male. I don't.

don't apologize, if you're a person who's itty bitty feelings get hurt, tough cookies, get some tougher skin.
You do realize that Trump has the thinnest skin of anybody who has ever run for president and always feels he's getting picked on. I'd have more respect for the man if he wasn't always crying that he's constantly being pick on. *waaah* He routinely acts and reacts like a 5-year old and you think he's this really tough guy?
