Jimmy Kimmel ramped up the election tension on Monday, reporting that GOP nominee Donald Trump had endorsed Hillary Clinton for president.

The “Jimmy Kimmel Live” host played footage in which Trump said he fully supported the woman who is now his Democratic rival.

“If you haven’t seen this yet, buckle your lap belts because this is huge,” the comedian quipped, before cutting to clips of Trump praising Clinton.

OK, so the footage actually dates back several years to when Trump thought he was BFFs with Clinton and her husband, former president Bill Clinton.

But Kimmel still thought it was worth reprising video on the eve of the election showing Trump’s gushing praise for the former secretary of state.

The brash businessman’s calls for the imprisonment of the woman he now calls “crooked Hillary” and “the devil” have clearly changed dramatically. Anyone would think he’d do and say anything in his desperate attempts to try and win the election.

Watch Trump’s full “endorsement” in the clip above.
