    I think that before any apologies can be made, the next president would have to send trump & his entire administration to trial, convict them, and sentence them.

    Also, they would have to work on passing legislation to make sure another trump never happens (remove the loopholes, the excess of power to the executive branch, the corruption in all three branches, citizens united, the heritage foundation).

    …and then do an apology tour. Apologies would mean nothing, if four years later we’re in a position to do the same bullshit again. We need to prove that we can be stable, reliable, and resilient. Make sure our house is in order. THAT’S the apology the world needs to hear.

      Even then, they were mindful of some of the weaknesses of their grand design
