Link to tweet

Too bad that no-one believes you mean it...

Donald Trump has apologised for retweeting videos posted online by Britain First and said he did it because he is a 'big believer in fighting radical Islamic terror'.The 71-year-old was speaking to Piers Morgan in Davos, Switzerland, and eventually apologised for causing offence.

It comes after the US President landed himself in hot water after he retweeted three clips which purportedly showed 'Muslims' doing bad deeds.They were initially posted by far-right British nationalist Jayda Fransen, who has been convicted of hate crimes.
He was asked about the controversial message during the interview, which was aired on Good Morning Britain, and said: 'It was done because I am a big believer of fighting radical Islamic terrorism.

'I did it as a retweet. It was a big story where you are but not where I am.'If you are telling me they're horrible people, horrible, racist people, I would certainly apologise if you'd like me to do that.'

Morgan said that Trump 'publicly apologised' for retweeting the messages and added that the President said he 'did not know who they were'.He wrote online: 'President Trump has publicly apologised for retweeting far-right group Britain First.

Trump apologized to Israel for wearing a red armband with a black swastika inside a white circle. He said he "did not know" the symbol had been the official insignia of the Nazis. "If you are telling me the Nazis were horrible people, horrible racist people, I would certainly apologize if you'd like me to do that."

It's the "if anybody was offended" apology, non-apology. "I'll apologize if you make me."

he never accidentally retweets anyone normal, from Women's groups, Labor groups, Black groups, Hispanic groups, Jewish groups, LGBT groups, etc.

Only one group he accidentally agrees with, all the time.
