Donald Trump told a crowd of Jewish Republicans that, “I know why you’re not going to support me, and you’re not going to support me because I don’t want your money.”

Speaking at the Republican Jewish Coalition on Thursday, Trump said, “I’m a negotiator like you folks. We’re negotiators.”

“Do you want to renegotiate deals? Some of us renegotiate deals,” Trump explained. “I would say about 99.9 percent, is there anybody that doesn’t renegotiate deals in this room? This room negotiates, I want to renegotiate — perhaps more than any room I’ve ever spoken to, maybe more. [The room laughed.] It’s OK, I’ve been called on that a couple of times too.”

“You’re not going to support me even though you know I’m the best thing that could ever happen to Israel and I’ll be that,” Trump insisted. “And the reason, I know why you’re not going to support me, and you’re not going to support me because I don’t want your money.”

“You don’t want to give me money, okay, but that’s okay, you want to control your own politician, that’s fine, good, but I will tell you, think about that folks, don’t worry about it. I understand, hey five months ago I was with you. Who was better than me? Who was better than me? I gave $350,000 to the Republican Governors Association, I never even got a letter of thank you.”
