Trump declares he’s a ‘lifelong friend of Israel’

Donald Trump ascends the podium at AIPAC’s Policy Conference.

“I speak to you today as a lifelong friend of Israel. I’m a newcomer to politics, but not to supporting the Jewish state.”

“In the spring of 2004, I was the grand marshal of the Israel Day Parade, the largest gathering in support of the Jewish state. It was a very dangerous time for Israel, and frankly, for supporters of Israel. Many people declined the honor. I didn’t.”
