Presumptive Republican nominee Donald Trump has no regrets about having suggested former prisoner-of-war John McCain is no "war hero." Last July the ideologue said McCain is not a hero because he was captured. During a Wednesday morning radio interview with Don Imus, the reality-TV star said he's apologized to veterans since then, but does not regret his words. “like not to regret anything,” Trump said. “You do things and you say things.

You know after I said that, my poll numbers went up seven points.”
