No one can legitimately dispute that the Clintons and Trumps were/are friends. They have associated for years and WJC was a frequent golf buddy of Trump.
There is even an often-quoted story of WJC advising Trump that he could make a decent run at the republican ticket for president (article from August 2015):

Interesting since Trump was still claiming to be a "birther" in July of 2015:

So, if the Clintons respect and admire PBO, why were they friends with and encouraging Trump to run for president?
I cannot think of anything more insulting and demeaning to PBO than being friends with and encouraging this racist and birther asshat to run for president.
Nice at the same time he is still spouting birther bullshit he is, at the very least, still on friendly terms with Trump and unofficially, informally, advising him on politics.
Pathetic.

(19,326 posts)Even the alt media for the most part has been silent re how downright cozy the relationship has been for many years between Trump & the Clintons.
Now these two clans are pretending to be mortal enemies. If Clinton is the nominee, all the GE will amount to is a Hunger Games/Punch & Judy Show to entertain, manipulate and misinform the American electorate, while the Billionaires laugh all the way to the bank.
