Trump Finally Apologized For Something. No, Not That.

President Donald Trump on Wednesday finally delivered an apology ― but it was not the one many had called on him to make.

Trump last week shared a racist video depicting former President Barack Obama and former first lady Michelle Obama as a chimpanzee and gorilla, which was denounced by Democrats and Republicans alike.

But that’s not what he apologized for.

Trump deleted the video, but insisted he didn’t have to apologize since he didn’t actually see the racist part.

“No, I didn’t make a mistake,” he said last week. “I looked at the beginning of it. It was fine.”

Trump, who rarely apologizes for anything, instead delivered a mea culpa to the people of Oklahoma for having previously endorsed their governor, Kevin Stitt, whom he denounced as “very mediocre (at best!)” and a “RINO” (Republican in name only).

“Sorry, my cherished Oklahoma, to have done that to you!” he wrote on Truth Social:

Trump threw a fit over Stitt’s efforts to preserve the bipartisan nature of the National Governors Association, of which he is currently the chair.

Trump this week was reportedly planning to exclude Democratic governors from what had traditionally been a bipartisan NGA business meeting at the White House, and to exclude two governors from a dinner that is typically for every governor, regardless of party.

Stitt initially pulled the event as a result.

“Because NGA’s mission is to represent all 55 governors, the Association is no longer serving as the facilitator for that event, and it is no longer included in our official program,” Stitt wrote to his fellow governors, according to The Associated Press.

Trump later claimed he was planning to invite all but two of the Democratic governors to the meeting, although The New York Times reported that only Republican governors had received invitations as of Tuesday night for a meeting to be held on Friday.

In another post, the president attacked Stitt and several of the Democratic governors:

Stitt has since said the meeting is back on and everyone will be invited. He blamed “misunderstanding in scheduling,” according to The Journal Record in Oklahoma City.
