Hillary Clinton in Team of Five, by Kate Brower


On Principles & Values: Trump made $100K donation to Clinton Foundation (pre-2016)

The election of 2016 was the most rancorous in modern history. But before things devolved, Trump had a mutually advantageous relationship with the Clintons. He got affirmation from the presence of the former president and sitting U.S. senator at his 2005 wedding to Melania, where Hillary Clinton sat in the front row during the ceremony. "I had a very good relationship with both Clintons, actually. They came to my wedding to the first lady, they were there," he told me, which of course I knew because I'd seen the much-discussed surreal photograph that showed the Clintons and the newly married Trumps beaming. The Clintons, in turn, got money. Trump made a $100,000 donation to the Clinton Foundation and other donations to Hillary's Senate campaigns, before the two embarked on their jaw-dropping, no-holds-barred political feud.

Remarkably, Bill Clinton still had a locker at the Trump National Golf Club in Briarcliff Manor, New York, during the heat of the campaign in the summer of 2016.
