Donald Trump surprised everyone when he took the podium in Charlotte, North Carolina and did something unprecedented.
He apologised .
The man who has corralled support with his refusal to back down on comments no matter how divisive or incendiary stood before his loyal supporters and repented at the rally overnight.
Mr Trump, the man who also called Rosie O’Donnell a pig, a woman “disgusting” for breastfeeding and implied Mexican illegal immigrants are rapists and criminals, had something ( reportedly scripted ) to get off his chest.
“As you know I am not a politician,” he told those gathered, no doubt beginning to feel bewildered by his more considered tone. “I have never wanted to learn the language of the insiders and I have never wanted to be politically correct, it takes far too much time.
“Sometimes, in the heat of debate and speaking on a multitude of issues, you don’t choose the right words or you say the wrong thing. I have done that, and believe it or not, I regret it. I do regret it, particularly where it may have caused personal pain.”
His opponents have capitalised on his ability to offend after recent comments sparked more intensified criticism.
