you're taking what he said in 2016 (when running against her) as fact.
I take his 2008 endorsement of her as way more accurate of his 2006 feelings for her
If you're referring to his quote as to why Hillary attended his wedding I'm taking the statement itself as a fact because it's on the record.
Whether Hillary attended his wedding because Trump instructed her to be there, well I have no way of knowing though it certainly sounds like the type of bullshit the HE believes. She said she attended because she thought it would be fun. An extravagent douchebag throwing himself a party littered with celebrities and good food probably would be fun and probably something the Clintons do quite often. That seems totally believable.
On the other hand you through out a totally unbelievable premise that they not just mere acquantences who run in some of the same circles but actual buddies. And of course, what do you do for a buddy, you run a phony political campaign spending millions of your own money, losing business relationships and destroying your brand.... all to somehow "help" your buddy.
Oh and Trump did NOT endorse Hillary in 2008
His only official endorsement in 2008 was for McCain (you know the guy he later shit all over)
