Huma Abedin should’ve listen to Donald Trump — he warned her publicly about Anthony Weiner in 2013.

“Huma should dump the sicko Weiner. He is a calamity that is bringing her down with him,” Trump tweeted out on September 23, 2013.

On Monday, Abedin announced she is separating from Weiner after his third sexting scandal in five years. The two were married in 2010, at a ceremony former President Bill Clinton officiated over.

Trump acknowledged his previous warnings about Weiner on Monday and said, “I mean I said a long time age she’s married to a guy who is a disaster.” He later added, “He’s a very sick guy and I said if you look back you’ll see that I said at the beginning the worst thing she can do is marry this guy.”

In 2011, Trump responded to the first Weiner sexting scandal by saying, “The fact is Anthony Weiner is a bad guy. He’s a psycho.” He added, “what he’s done to his family is truly a shame.”

On July 6, 2012, Trump tweeted, “Keep an eye on Anthony Weiner. Weasels are hard to get rid of.” Trump has dozens of tweets total which mention Weiner. Here’s a sampling.
