Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump deviated from his prepared remarks at the American Israel Public Affairs Committee (AIPAC) conference Monday to tell the room that his daughter, Ivanka, was about to have a “beautiful, Jewish baby.”

“I love the people in this room. I love Israel. I love Israel. I’ve been with Israel so long in terms of — I’ve received some of my greatest honors from Israel,” Trump said at the end of his speech. “My father before me, incredible. My daughter, Ivanka, is about to have a beautiful, Jewish baby.”

Trump added that it could be “happening right now.”

I an uncommon move for Trump, he posted his speech in full on his website and read from a teleprompter.

    ‘My Daughter Will Have A Beautiful, Jewish Baby
    Who Can Count My Money For Me When It Grows Up.’

    Trump on African-Americans and Jews:

    “Black guys counting my money! I hate it.
    The only kind of people I want counting my money
    are little short guys that wear yarmulkes every day.”

    Isn’t a baby considered Jewish only if the mom is Jewish?

  4. I thought that he was dating his daughter.

    “The baby will have an uncanny resemblance to me, including thin hair, small fingers and it will holler easily when displeased.”

    @Jeffgee1 If he could just shake off his white supremacist supporters, he’d really turn those heads, though his impulse will be to show them he’s also circumcised.

    He received a seeded bagel with schmear one time from that deli on Fifth Avenue, and he’s always remembered it fondly.
