Bill Clinton calls Donald Trump a ‘master brander’
Clinton said Trump was a “master brander” and that was one of the reasons for him doing so well in the polls.
“He’s a master brander”, Clinton said of his former friend, whose daughter Ivanka is apparently BFFs with Clinton’s daughter Chelsea, as suggested by Clinton’s anecdote about returning Trump’s phone call sometime a year ago after Ivanka told Chelsea that Ivanka’s dad was having trouble reaching Chelsea’s dad.
