Contrary to the traditional apology or statement of
regret for one'
s actions, the trumpology is where one
actually doubles down, steers into the skid, and makes a comment that serves to inflate the original offense.
Trumpology
ex #1:
Anderson
Cooper: "Mr. Trump, many activists are demanding that you apologize for claiming that you will build a
wall along the US-Mexico border if elected president. What do you have to say to them?"
The
Donald: "We're gonna build a
wall...and Mexico is going to pay for it!"
Trumpology ex #2:
Reporter: "Johnny, now that you've been released from the Browns, are you going to clean up your act?"
Johnny Manziel: "I'm living out in LA with my guy, Von Miller. We might be partying six nights a week but we're trying to get our lives together, bro. I just wanna ball, bro. I don'
t think there's anything wrong with partying, bro. There's a difference between partying and being out of control."
