McCain: Trump Should Ap-hollow-gize

John McCain said Donald Trump doesn't owe him an apology but should express sorrow to other prisoners of war and their families. "I think he may owe an apology to the families of those who have sacrificed in conflict and those who have undergone the prison experience in serving their country," McCain said on MSNBC's Morning Joe on Monday. Declining by and large to mix it up with Trump, McCain said "I'm not a hero" but that he did serve with many heroes in Vietnam and they should not be denigrated. Trump's weekend comments about McCain — that he is not a hero "because he was captured" and "I like people who weren't captured" — have prompted calls for him to exit the Republican presidential race/USA Today.

Question: Does Trump owe an apology to anyone?
