"Trump regrets some past remarks" because he finally offended the wrong minority

This minority is so small that they would be considered endangered if they were a separate species. Congress has 535 voting members: 435 Representatives and 100 Senators. While much smaller than other minorities, Trump has offended a group, which was able to do what no other minority could achieve by making Trump read from their prepared script. Causing serious concern in a group that is far more important than anyone else in the USA, Trump made this extremely offensive remark:

Donald Trump said Thursday that he was going to "take a very serious look" at imposing term limits on members of Congress should he win the White House in November.

A 2013 Gallup poll found that 75% of those surveyed would support legislation limiting terms for members of both the House and Senate.

Later, Trump said:

“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,” Trump said in Charlotte, N.C., reading prepared remarks off a teleprompter.

The Trump nick-name Teflon Don will become increasingly appropriate as his media/ criminal and civil slime slides away, like water off of a duck's back. But, how can he change his natural expressions and personality in time for the election?

If ANYONE investigates contributions to the Trump campaign, Teflon Don will be on trial for several federal crimes.

These emotionally disturbed people continue to display similar facial expressions and racist attitudes. Both sociopaths also advocate violence and bizarre, difficult to understand symbolism, like cryptic writings in blood at murder scenes and play-dough symbolism, at the scene of a catastrophe, where even more people will eventually die of thirst and disease.

Although it lacks nutritional values, Play-dough is edible, isn't it?
