Trump used to make light of Bill Clinton's sex scandals. Now they're his main weapon.

Trump also repeatedly dismissed and at times mocked Bill Clinton’s accusers.
In a 2008 interview with CNN, Trump called the Lewinsky scandal “totally unimportant” and said it was “nonsense” that Republicans tried to impeach him.

In another interview, with CNBC in 1998 and first unearthed by the Washington Post, Trump called Clinton accuser Paula Jones “a loser.” In August 1998, Trump again dismissed Jones, and said Bill Clinton was actually the victim.

“I don’t necessarily agree with his victims,” Trump said to Fox News’ Neil Cavuto in a clip uncovered earlier in the year by the “Daily Beast.” “His victims are terrible. He is, he is really a victim himself. But he put himself in that position.”

“These people are just, I don’t know, where he met them – where he found them,” Trump continued. “But the whole group — it’s truly an unattractive cast of characters. Linda Tripp, Lucianne Goldberg, I mean, this woman, I watch her on television. She is so bad. The whole group, Paula Jones, Lewinsky, it’s just a really unattractive group. I’m not just talking about physical.”
