Pathological malignant narcissist's first attempt at apologizing for anything serious in their life.
Rating: 0.5/10 (F--)
Only not 0.0 because it is at least an attempt, technically, they did at least identify some things that they did... but they don't actually directly express regret for them... though you could maybe, possibly, conclude that they mean to imply this.
Every single other element of this is abysmal and indicates insincerity, that its more of a panic response than anything meaningful.
They have not done any self reflection.
They have no understanding of what fundamentally caused them to make the error.
They don't care at all to have an actual dialogue as they are just asserting what the other person thinks, and attack the person they're apologizing to in the 'apology'.
Its obvious that they are furious that they've got no other choice than to admit some kind of being wrong if they want to be taken any kind of seriously about anything, ever again.
... and they obviously do not present a plan for their own self reflection / self improvement going forward.
It is absurd and laughable that they think this consitutes their eyes being open.
And that's all assuming this is any kind of genuine or from an actual real person.
This is an admission of guilt, like a child getting caught with their hand in the cookie jar, not an actual apology though, as they're barely cognizant of what they've done, what needs making amends, how that would be done.
Laughably pathetic, when considered as if it was a genuine apology.
The real Trump Derangement Syndrome is this, is willingly joining a hateful death cult, and then doing hateful death cult things, with glee, and justifying them through vicious lies and nearly a decade of abdicating the responsibility every adult has to think critically for themselves.
