Trump Says Aid to Israel Will End This Year ‘Because They Don’t Need It’ and ‘It’s a Bad Talking Point’

EXCERPT:

TRUMP: “Why? Because they don’t need it, Brian. I mean, I asked them. Because they don’t need it. And because why should we suffer the slings from lunatics like an El-Sayed when they don’t need it? It's a bad talking point, because you'd say, 'Why don’t we give everybody $4 billion.' Israel is our number one, we give them more than anybody else, and they no longer need it. We’ve been doing it for years, I've been doing it, but Israel is a very thriving country, they don’t need it. If they did need it, I would say keep it going. But Bibi Netanyahu, we reached an agreement on it. And can I be honest with you? He brought it up. He brought it up, he said, 'I think it would be appropriate if we do not receive aid.' Because he understands that this is one of their points of contention. Israel has been a great ally, much more reliable than most.”
