Trump Attempts To Row Back On His Remarks......

Still no apology though is there.

Well, who would have thought it.. almost an apology..

He is a president not an internet troll. Has anyone explained the difference to him.
A full and heartfelt apology is still necessary.

Would have been better if he'd been interviewed on Fox News again and said it there.

I wish I could find something likable about this man, but I can't.

Trump doesn’t even have respect for his own veterans. How could the American people gave this man another period in office knowing how vile his views and behaviour were. It’s not like they didn’t know. And this is the man Farage looks up to!

There is the nearest you’ll ever get to an apology from Trump. on the news.

NATO forces including UK and excluding USA lost 1130 soldiers.

Not sure about that. White House staff are saying what he originally said was true. Then they would wouldn’t they.

He’s a vile individual.

Perhaps he ll say sorry on his death bed, then again perhaps not
I d love to read a psychologist s report on him and his brain (if anyone ever finds one between the orange ears)

His mask is off now, isn’t it, Europeans see him for what he is. I don’t think it will be possible for him to recover the lost ground, not that it will bother him I’m sure.

The man stood on a gravesite of a fallen solider on our countries most hallowed ground and gave a thumbs up. He has called soldiers losers. He has stripped away their healthcare by allowing the VA to be gutted by DOGE.

He doesn't care about anyone. I think he actually believes his lies sadly.

TACO- Trump always chickens out, is not new. He's bombastic and has no filter. Trump making fake news statements is not new. I think he does so tactically, purposefully and strategically to achieve his own aims. He probably has a belief that if you say something often enough there will always be some/enough people who will think there's truth in what he's saying. Plus he has a strong hold over much of the right wing media who are more than willing to repeat over and over Trump's words and statements. When Trump says things maybe he comes to believe what he has said is true also- he's surrounded himself by supporters and supplicants whoo are more than willing to buy in and embolden Trump.

Trump is not known for making apologies- sadly, I doubt there will he will issue any meaningful apology on this matter.

Just how can his wife and family stand by silently supporting him.
They are as culpable as him by their silence.
He is sick and should be treated as such.

As near as we will get, apparently Starmer phoned him to tell him of our national anger at the remarks.

Very unfair to his wife and children, they can’t answer for him.

That statement isn't an apology. We need an unequivocal apology and it should be on Fox News, prime time, not on his own social media. The original statement was on Fox News and the viewers of that dreadful channel should hear his retraction.

Some of his children and other family members have key roles in his administration.

It’s the nearest Trump has ever got to apologising for anything so Starmer deserves a lot of credit for the way he handles Trump.

Good on Starmer. Praise where it's due.

.....about NATO soldiers in Afghanistan on his 'Truth Social'.

But too late. What has been said cannot be unsaid and what has been heard cannot be unheard.”

He’ll deny he ever said it as he often does with other things. He seems to forget that everything is recorded for posterity! He has now praised the British soldiers but made no mention of the other NATO troops.

Trump is uncouth and ill-bred, and totally unfitted for high office. Ruthless disposal of his opponents and a sycophantic family and entourage who live off him protect him from forthright criticism , but America holds responsibility for allowing this sort of bullyboy system, 'might is right', to develop.
