In several posts throughout the thread you seem fixated on the idea that Trump was always a, in your word, “Clintonista,” in lock step with the Clintons (rather than a personal friend who on occasion had a positive thing to say about them). I would like to direct your attention to what Trump wrote in his 2000 book, The America We Deserve, which was of course written when Clinton was still president.

Trump begins the chapter, “Freedom from Terrorism,” by telling the story of the murderous Puerto Rican terrorists Clinton pardoned. Trump was horrified by it and accused Clinton of doing it to help his wife’s Senate campaign (there being many Puerto Ricans in NY sympathetic to the terrorists). Later in the chapter he criticizes our current (at the time) leaders for not doing more to prevent terrorism, which he saw as a really important growing threat. He says that Clinton did do some bombings as president, but that the timing of the bombings was “highly suspect.” He was, of course, suggesting they were done to distract from the Lewinsky scandal (although he didn’t mention the scandal by name). This is the only chapter I’ve read so far. There’s probably more. I thought I would share in the name of balance and to show that even during the Clinton administration Trump leveled some serious accusations against him.

Well, he must have liked them a lot to get them to come to his third wedding.
