Hillary Clinton on Monday said she attended the 2005 wedding of Donald Trump, a financial backer of her political campaign and the Clinton Foundation, not because she was sucking up to donors, but because she "thought it would be fun" and "entertaining."
What is most problematic about Hillary's attendance, however, is the fact that just weeks before the Jan. 22, 2005 ceremony, Trump published the paperback edition of Trump: How to Get Rich, one of his many, massive bestsellers. According to Cosmopolitan, the book contains the second "most disgusting thing Donald Trump has ever said"—this passage about female contestants on popular reality show:
All of the women on The Apprentice flirted with me—consciously or unconsciously. That's to be expected.
Trump had a history of sexist remarks and sleazy behavior towards women in 2005, but was apparently "fun" to be around. (Also, he wasn't a Republican and had been a reliable source of donations to Hillary Clinton and her family foundation.)
"Now that he's running for president," Hillary said Monday, "it's a little more troubling."
