the election was really phenomenal. every week there was a scandal about something he said or did that would have ended any other candidate. the motherfuckin teflon don.

he never apologized for anything, i think that was key. 99.9999% of politicians would have wimped out at some point and given a groveling apology, which made them look weak. This would be somewhat accepted in the immediate aftermath, but the damage would be done and their image permanently tarnished. Somehow Trump's brash defiance allowed him to skate through scandal after scandal. Also, it helped that there was like a new scandal every week so you ended up forgetting about the last thing everyone was up in arms about very quickly

I've always thought of it this way. Probably because he follows it directly with "but I couldn't get there" so it sounds like he's regretting that he allowed himself to appear needy to Nancy O'Dell and allow her to assume a role of power over him and then reject him. But I actually think the other interpretation i.e. "hard" is much more likely as his intended meaning. The "I was a bitch" interpretation is far too self-reflective/self-deprecating for it to be a plausible thing for him to say to a guy with a woman's job that he definitely looks down on, as he should.
