In reply to the discussion: DU Exclusive: Interview with Dr. Bandy X. Lee ! [View all]Mike 03
(16,616 posts)84. It also seems to shed new light on his inability to apologize
Dr. Lees observation that Trump is incapable of self-doubt tends to explain Trumps unwillingness to ever apologize. Political experts attribute this to a strategic desire never to show weakness, but if I understand Dr. Lee correctly there is no volition on his part. He never even arrives at the phase of having to make this decision in the first place: Whether to apologize or not apologize.
Because Trump never experiences insight, self-doubt or insecurity, theres never an inkling of the guilt, regret or remorse that are necessary prerequisites for an apology.
