Story highlights "I know her and she'd be a good president or good vice president," Trump said

There are about 1,000 episodes of the Premiere Networks syndicated show

Washington (CNN) Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton have no shortage of criticism for each other on the 2016 trail, but at one point the presumptive Republican presidential nominee said his likely general election rival would "make a good president."

The comments come from "Trumped!" a syndicated radio feature that aired from 2004 to 2008, which was recently rediscovered by the Wall Street Journal

"Hillary Clinton said she'd consider naming Barack Obama as her vice president when she gets the nomination, but she's nowhere near a shoo-in," Trump said in 2008. "For his part, Obama said he's just focused on winning the nomination although at least one member on his team said Clinton would make a good vice president. Well, I know her and she'd make a good president or good vice president."

The series featured about one minute of daily commentary from Trump, often speaking over "For the Love of Money," the theme song to his "Apprentice" reality show. There are about 1,000 episodes of the Premiere Networks syndicated show, according to the Journal.

"A lot of people think a Clinton-Obama or Obama-Clinton pairing would be a dream ticket in November, but for that to happen one of them has to be willing to serve as number two. Until that time, it's going to be very interesting," Trump added in his 2008 comments.
