I'm a negotiator like you folks, we are negotiators," Trump said,
drawing laughter before pivoting to how he would renegotiate the Iran
deal. "Is there anybody that doesn't renegotiate deals in this room?
This room negotiates them -- perhaps more than any other room I've ever
spoken in."
The comments were largely met with laughter and smirks, and RJC
spokesman Mark McNulty downplayed suggestions that Trump's comments
pointed to Jewish stereotypes.
"Donald Trump is well aware of the composition of our board and our
audience -- one that includes many successful businessmen and women as
well as deal makers like him," McNulty told CNN.
But while Trump tried to win over the audience of wealthy Jewish
Republicans, the billionaire presidential candidate said he didn't
believe the assembled crowd would support him.
"You're not gonna support me because I don't want your money. You want
to control your politicians, that's fine. Five months ago I was with
you," Trump said, pointing to his recent past as a much sought-after
political donor who filled the campaign coffers of both Republicans and
Democrats. "I do want your support, but I don't want your money."
And while those comments also faced scrutiny, the Anti-Defamation
League, a leading hate speech and anti-Semitism watchdog, said Thursday
in a statement that ***"we do not believe that it was Donald Trump's
intention to evoke anti-Semitic stereotypes."***
No shit? Really?
"Here, context is everything," ADL CEO Jonathan Greenblatt said. "In
this case he is speaking to a group of Jewish Republicans, a significant
portion of whom are business people. We do not believe he intended his
comments regarding negotiations and money to relate specifically to
their Jewishness, but we understand that they could be interpreted that
way."
