Trump Tweets out a scripted "this is not who I am" video apology, and yes...it's Hillary's fault.

https://twitter.com/realDonaldTrump/status/784609194234306560

I'm guessing you are going to have to go to the Twitter link above to view it, since I can't embed it here. If anyone finds a copy that can be posted here, please do so. I didn't see it on YouTube yet.

The text reads simply "This is my statement," and a "contrite" Donald reads words from the Teleprompter that he clearly did not write, along the lines of "Anyone who knows me knows that this is not who I am"...even though a week ago he was fat-shaming Miss Universe and telling you to "check out" porn at 3 AM.

And YES...this is all Hillary's fault. You didn't think he was going to make it through an "apology" without taking a shot at her, did you?

The last words on the video are "See you at the debate on Sunday."

Looks like Unca Reince and Unca Paul burned the midnight oil last night. Trump is smart enough to know how badly he effed up on this. He did what he was told to do like a good little doggie but how long before the next outburst?

Named Bill and Hillary Clinton, he needs to accept responsibility of his repulsive actions.

We're only halfway through October, and he's already been blindsided by his tax returns and this video. I'm guessing Hillary and her campaign are taking "October surprise" to a whole new level. Can't wait for the next one!

leaked from NBC.. the ones who promoted him all those years.

How the shocking hot mic tape of Donald Trump was exposed

snip//

On Monday, according to an NBC source, one of the entertainment newsmagazine's producers remembered Trump's 2005 taping session with former "Access" co-host Billy Bush.

Trump's offensive comments about Alicia Machado were still making waves. And the Associated Press had just published a detailed story quoting former "Apprentice" employees saying Trump "was lewd and sexist" while taping the reality show.

With that in mind, a producer dug up the tape.

By mid-week, executive producer Rob Silverstein and his producing team had taken a look at its contents, and discovered that among other things it included a moment in which Trump told Bush, "And when you're a star, they let you do it. You can do anything... Grab them by the pussy. You can do anything."

More..

So actually this is ******* trump's fault..

But you're so right about Team Hillary taking October surprise to a whole new level!

there was a "senior adviser" in the room while the tape was being made telling Donald NOT to say anything about the Clintons in the apology tape. They were ignored.

And it will be made more obvious when the depositions for the allegation of rape of a 15 year old girl goes public.

Not a shred of honesty between them.

Wonder no more.
