In a CNN interview in 2007, he said that Clinton, then running for president for the first time, was a “terrific” person who “would do a good job” cutting a nuclear deal with Iran because she “always surrounded herself with very good people.”

On Tuesday, BuzzFeed reported on an archived web page of a blog post on TrumpUniversity.com in March 2008 in which Trump wrote that Clinton would “make a great president or vice-president.” “Hillary Clinton said she’d consider naming Barack Obama as her vice-president when she gets the nomination, but she’s nowhere near a shoo-in,” he wrote on March 13, at a time when Sen. Obama held a slim lead over Clinton in terms of estimated pledged delegates. “For his part, Obama said he’s just focused on winning the nomination, although at least one member of his team said Clinton would make a good vice-president. (I know Hillary and I think she’d make a great president or vice-president.)”

After declining to enter the presidential race in 2012, Trump told Fox News’ Greta Van Susteren that Clinton had done a great job as secretary of state.

“Hillary Clinton I think is a terrific woman,” he said. “I am biased because I have known her for years. I live in New York. She lives in New York. I really like her and her husband both a lot. I think she really works hard. And I think, again, she’s given an agenda, it is not all of her, but I think she really works hard and I think she does a good job. I like her.”

There are many more examples in the article.
