A new political ad released by Hillary Clinton's campaign team highlights how her political opponent, Donald Trump, once had high praises for the Democratic presidential candidate. Back when Trump wasn't coveting the presidential seat, he and Clinton, and their respective spouses and children, were actually good friends and Trump supported the Clinton in politics all the way. Hillary Clinton's camp wants to remind the voting public of this fact in the latest attack against Donald Trump.
The ad, released Thursday, July 21, on national television, featured supercuts of Donald Trump from old interviews actually giving praises to Hillary Clinton. Entitled "The Truth About Hillary," Donald Trump is seen and heard saying on the video that he thinks she is a "terrific woman" and that she would make a great president someday. Watch the whole ad below.
The comments Donald Trump made regarding Hillary Clinton during those years shouldn't come as no surprise since it is public knowledge how the Trumps and the Clintons are actually long-time friends. According to Newsweek, Donald Trump was a big donor to Hillary Clinton's campaigns when she ran for a senatorial seat in New York, where the families both reside.
Before the new political ad came out, The Atlantic already pointed out that Donald Trump used to lavishly praise Hillary Clinton, especially when it was made known as early as 2012 that she might be running for president. The business mogul is known to be upfront and frank when he speaks, so his statements aren't supposed to be sugar coated. But the news outlet also points out that Donald Trump has been contradicting what he has said about Hillary Clinton before, since running for political office. Because of this, he's now seen as an "opportunistic politician."
