President-elect Donald J. Trump’s “biggest regret” is endorsing Senator John McCain for re-election in 2016, according to a highly-placed source familiar with the Trump transition team’s private conversations.
The anonymous source told GotNews that President-elect Trump regrets endorsing McCain more than anything else because McCain is “so opposed” to Trump and his policies.
John McCain is the senior Senator from Arizona and a two-time failed presidential candidate. He was challenged in the Republican senatorial primaries in 2016 by Dr. Kelli Ward, but managed to survive.
President-elect Trump has expressed his regret for endorsing McCain privately, but not publicly — yet.
Last summer, new journalism start-up WeSearchr released never-before-heard audio tapes of McCain betraying his country in North Vietnam nearly 50 years ago. The tapes were originally recorded by the CIA and discovered — mislabeled and misfiled — in the U.S. National Archives in College Park, Maryland.
The tapes vindicated many Vietnam veterans, journalists, and then-Republican nominee Donald J. Trump, who all questioned McCain’s war record, but did not tank his candidacy. Listen for yourself right here:
It’s unclear whether the Vietnam tapes factored into the President-elect’s regret for endorsing John McCain.

GotNews’ anonymous sources are the best in the world. They helped us break the story that Dana Rohrabacher was in consideration for the post — later confirmed publicly by Kellyanne Conway — and the story that former New York City mayor Rudy Giuliani had taken himself out of the running, later confirmed by President-elect Trump himself.
Our anonymous sources also let us break the story that ExxonMobil CEO Rex Tillerson was picked for the position of Secretary of State 3 full days before The New York Times — and we even got the exact day of the announcement right.
