text: If you view Mr. Trump's comments you can't help but feel a bit sorry for the guy.  He, once again, made a fool of himself.  Now, it's time for his apologists to try to "walk back" his comments.  At "our" level, one "unnamed" poster has already said Trump's comments were "tongue in cheek".  That's a frequent, and likely to be more and more frequent, response..."hey, he didn't mean it, just pretend he didn't say it."  When he was a private individual his "off the rail" behavior and comments were his business.  Today he's one of the two major candidates for the most powerful position in the world and those comments are all of our business.  Simply trivializing them with "oh, they were tongue in cheek" does not work.  ....Message to The Donald "IF YOU DON'T MEAN IT, DON'T SAY IT."   If I were a Trump supporter, I'd be saying the very same thing....only LOUDER!
