Claim: Before joining politics, former U.S. President Donald Trump supported Hillary Clinton in the 2008 Democratic primaries. He did not, however, specify whether he would have endorsed Clinton for president had she won the Democratic nomination. Old interview transcripts and blog posts reveal that Trump supported Clinton as the Democratic nominee for president back in 2008. Well, I know her, and she'd make a good president or a good vice president." However, the nominations went to Obama and McCain and he endorsed McCain, not revealing whether he would have endorsed Clinton if she won the Democratic nomination.
