Trump worried about ‘someone going after Bill Clinton’ amid Epstein investigation
Trump went on to explain that Bill saw him as a formidable political enemy for the Democrats when he first ran for president against Hillary, which earned him enormous respect in the tycoon’s ego.
“You know, he was the one who very famously said you don’t want to run against Trump. When there were 18 people, it was 18 people, including me. And he kept telling them, ‘You don’t want to run against Trump, against anyone, don’t run against Trump,’” the president told Llamas about Bill.
And Hillary kind of laughed at him. He said, ‘Hillary, you know that.’ And I know, don’t go against Trump. And they went against Trump. It didn’t go so well, did it?” the commander-in-chief said with a laugh as he won the 2016 presidential race.
White House spokesperson Karoline Leavitt backed her boss’s claim, telling reporters: “The president has respect for the former president. They had a good relationship.”
They were once so friendly that the Clintons attended Trump’s wedding to his wife Melania at Mar-a-Lago in 2005.
