Donald Trump told Jewish Republicans that he didn’t expect their support in his bid for the presidency.
“You’re not gonna support me even though you know I’m the best thing that could ever happen to Israel,” Trump said Thursday at the Republican Jewish Coalition’s candidates forum. “And I’ll be that.
