In his first speech since reordering his campaign leadership, Donald Trump told a crowd in Charlotte, N.C., that he regrets some of what he has said, a rare admission from him that some of his campaign rhetoric has stirred controversy.
“Sometimes in the heat of the debate and speaking on a multitude of issues, you don’t choose the right words or you say the wrong thing,” Trump said in his speech. “I have done that, and believe it or not I regret it. And I do regret it, particularly where it may have caused personal pain. Too much is at stake for us to be consumed with these issues.”
He was not specific about what he regrets, but added that “sometimes I can be too honest.” “One thing I can promise you is this: I will always tell you the truth,” he said.
