As Twitchy reported, President Trump held a “poisonous” post-acquittal press conference that showed his “deep psychological distress.” Actually, we found him to be very upbeat, and why not? He’d just been acquitted of two bogus articles of impeachment after being investigated for colluding with Russia for three years and had to sit by and watch as his prosecutor, Rep. Adam Schiff, read a “parody” of his phone call into the record despite having a transcript.
The Washington Post, though, just couldn’t help noticing the stark difference between how Trump conducted himself post-acquittal as compared to a very contrite Bill Clinton, who was “profoundly sorry.” The thing is, Clinton also flat-out lied straight to the American people while pointing his finger at the TV camera — the least he could do was apologize. Maybe Trump didn’t think he had anything to apologize for.
After impeachment acquittal, Bill Clinton was "profoundly sorry." Trump not so much. https://t.co/LZYM7J8xmE

That’s the difference between guilt and innocence.

Only guilty people feel remorse.

Well one committed perjury and committed a federal crime, the other fell victim to a house majority and wacko as a speaker. Little different. #AcquittedForLife

It is the fact that POTUS didn't commit a crime. Pres. Clinton did commit perjury, proven, on tape, with blue dress. Facts matter.

What’s he supposed to be sorry for? He didn’t do anything wrong.

Well yeah, President Clinton had something to be profoundly sorry for.
President @realDonaldTrump did nothing wrong and did not break the law, commit a high crime or a misdemeanor. #AcquittedForLife #ImpeachmentSham#MAGA https://t.co/buxF1ospqc

And you think he (Clinton) was sincere.

Clinton was a professional politician. He faked stuff like this for a living. Trump is not. Recall the time At the Ron Brown funeral where Clinton attended & was laughing and joking until he saw a camera rolling & immediately switched to sorrow mode in blink of an eye. Epic.

If he said he were profoundly sorry too everyone would call him a liar so ??♀️

Guilt might have something to do with that. You people are sick.

Why should it matter to them? What did they want Trump to do? Fake some tears and bite his lip?
