""Hillary's a great friend of mine. Her husband is a great friend of mine. They're fantastic people. I mean, they're -- you know, the thing, they get a bad knock. She's a very nice woman. People think, tough, tough. And I guess she's tough, but she's a very nice woman. And he's a very nice guy. We know all about the smarts and how smart they are, and all, but they are good people."
So why did Trump endorse McCain in 2008, even though "The Donald" was a registered Democrat at the time? Maybe because Obama didn't choose Trump's "great friend" Hillary as a running mate????
But hey, maybe Trump was a lousy judge of character then, not now, of course. Back then he was eloquent (*cough*) and detailed in his explanation for endorsing McCain:
(see same link as above): "I'm endorsing McCain. I am basically very strongly -- you have to understand, I've known him, I like him, I respect him. ... He's a smart guy and I think he's going to be a great president."
Well, THAT explains his political change of heart! Gosh, who could argue with that??? Nevermind that these days, Trump is being hailed for calling McCain a "dummy."
What a judge of character that old blowhard celebrity showman is!!!
