This is a standard narcissist non-apology apology that adds insult to injury.
It starts w/ denial of the offense, followed by the classic "if you were stupid to misconstrue my words, it's on you," and turns into a self-aggrandizing pity party making the offender into a victim.

No responsibility, no contrition, no humility. No sense of harm caused, but plenty of grandiose self-pity.
The only true words @TedYoho offers there are "I cannot apologize."

Just another reminder, as if we needed any, of how destructive narcissism is, individually and collectively.
It ruins relationships, organizations, and entire countries.
Narcissists never take responsibility for the destruction they cause, and see themselves as victims in it.
