[Hillary Clinton](http://time.com/4416693/hillary-clinton-hardest-to-know/?iid=sr-link4) just released a web ad featuring video footage of [Donald Trump](http://time.com/4416763/ted-cruz-trump-endorsement-social-media-reactions/?xid=homepage) praising her abilities.

The ad features the words, “[Donald Trump](http://time.com/4416741/ted-cruz-trump-rnc-full-transcript/?xid=homepage) reveals the truth about Hillary Clinton” and shows Trump saying on FOX News, “Hillary Clinton, I think, is a terrific woman.” In another clip, Trump praises her and Bill Clinton, saying, “I know her very well and I know her husband very well, and I like them both…They are just really terrific people.”

The ad also quotes Trump praising Hillary Clinton as a “smart, tough and a very nice person,” and said, “She really works hard, and I think she does a good job.”

“I know Hillary and I think she’d make a great president,” Trump said in March 2008, according to the ad.

The ad ends with: “Donald Trump: occasionally right.”
