Donald Trump doesn't think he owes Sen. John McCain (R-Ariz.) an apology over his comments Saturday, in which he questioned whether the former POW could be considered a true war hero. Trump spoke to Martha Raddatz on ABC's This Week on Sunday morning:

I'm very disappointed in John McCain because the vets are horribly treated in this country. I'm fighting for the vets. I've done a lot for the vets. And the vets — I've been going around to the campaign trail. They're treated like third-class citizens. He's done nothing to help the vets. And I will tell you, they are living in hell. [This Week]
