Trump Gets Surprisingly Warm Reception at AIPAC [View all]

I was pretty surprised actually - started out mild and grew pretty fervent as his talk continued. He also got some laughs about appearing to undersell his 'Art of the Deal' book. And his biggest applause line with scattered standing ovations began '...With President Obama in his final year... Yay!' He went on, 'He may be the worst thing to ever happen to Israel... believe me, believe me. And you know it... you know it better than anybody.'
