“Believe It or Not,” Trump Says He “Regrets” Some Remarks

HeadlineAug 19, 2016

In news from the campaign trail, Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump has said he “regrets” some of the remarks he has made. In recent weeks, Trump has attacked the Khan family, whose son was killed in Iraq, suggested supporters of the Second Amendment shoot Hillary Clinton, and been abandoned by a number of prominent Republicans as a result. This is Trump speaking yesterday in North Carolina.

Donald Trump: “Sometimes, in the heat of debate and speaking on a multitude of issues, you don’t choose the right words, or you say the wrong thing. I have done that. And, believe it or not, I regret it. And I do regret it, particularly where it may have caused personal pain.”
