Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump on Tuesday touted an “endorsement” from Bill Clinton, the husband of his main Democratic presidential rival, Hillary Clinton.

“An endorsement from Bill Clinton?” reads text to begin a video posted to Trump’s Instagram account.

The real estate mogul commented on the video when promoting it on Twitter, to suggest Clinton’s comments show he wants to “Make America Great Again,” Trump’s campaign slogan.
