Donald Trump refuses to apologize for "blood" comments directed at Fox host Megyn Kelly, instead attacks GOP opponents for misrepresenting them.

Presidential candidate Donald Trump defended himself Sunday from the fierce backlash he's received for criticizing Fox News debate moderator Megyn Kelly, insisting he said nothing wrong and that he values women. 

"I cherish women," the real estate mogul told CNN's Jake Tapper on "State of the Union," adding that he did not mean to imply that Kelly asked him sharp questions during the debate because she was menstruating. 

"Who would say that?" Trump said Sunday. "Do you think I'd make a statement like that? Who would make a statement like that? Only a sick person would even think about that." (And only an even sicker person would actually say it.)


.....

Trump handled the moment in characteristic fashion -- refusing to give an inch to his detractors and telling Tapper he did "nothing wrong whatsoever." He blamed his Republican presidential opponents for fanning the flames of controversy, and claimed he meant to refer to her "nose and/or ears" -- not a woman's period. 

Trump attacked several of the Republicans who have criticized his remarks about Kelly. 

He pointed to former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush's gaffe over women's health funding last week, saying he "came out horribly" and that the comment about overfunding -- which Bush said was meant to reference Planned Parenthood -- "will go down to haunt him and be the same as Romney's '47%.'" 

Trump dismissed South Carolina Sen. Lindsey Graham and former Hewlett-Packard chief executive officer Carly Fiorina.

Trump also went on to dismiss criticism from Erick Erickson, and pointed out that he himself has said worse things in the past. (That's actually true.)

Trump also suggested that he was much more popular that Fox News darling Megyn Kelly, "On social media I'm the one that's beloved.)

Later on Meet the Press Trump said this:

“When I was attacked viciously by those women, of course, it’s very hard for them to attack me on looks, because I’m so good-looking,” he said. 

Holy shit! That is some industrial strength denial this guy is working with there.

Trump's arrogance has now turned him into a parody of himself, where there is literally nobody that can say anything as harmful about him that he has not already said himself.

Kind of reminds you of somebody, doesn't it?
