Donald Trump solicited financial backing from two major Republican donors known for their support of Israel, according to a report.
Trump, who is among the front-runners in the Republican presidential primaries, has reached out over the past year to Sheldon Adelson and Paul Singer for their backing, Politico reported Thursday.
The billionaire reality star, who has touted his own wealth as key to his independence, has more recently mocked Sen. Marco Rubio, R-Fla., a rival candidate, for accepting support from Singer and reportedly soliciting Adelson’s backing. Adelson has been a major giver to Republican candidates, notably Newt Gingrich and Mitt Romney.
Trump has said candidates who allow political action committees to take money from billionaire donors like Adelson and Singer are “puppets.” Adelson is a casino magnate and Singer manages a hedge fund. Both are known for backing pro-Israel groups.
According to Politico, Trump in his outreach to Singer and Adelson touted his pro-Israel bona fides, including an ad he recorded for Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu in the 2013 Israel elections.
Trump’s campaign did not respond to Politico’s request for comment.

just another demented whore for is ra el. He has a bad hairdo though, this makes jim different.
If even a billionaire like The Donald has to go begging to Daddy Adelson, that shows you the sorry state of American politics. Part of Trump’s appeal is supposed to be that he can’t be bought because he’s so rich. Hah! Another election for the Jews.
Trump was the hope of some who saw him as to rich to be bought.
But even ” the Donald ,” has a price when it comes to the Chosen of Yahweh
He was looking for ” the art of the deal ” in trying to co- opt Adelson.
Nobody gets anywhere in the GOP today without the Jews blessing.
The GOP Presidential contest is even known as ” the Adelson Primary”.
Adelson won’t back him,and has two favorites. The incredible sinking Bush 3, and the stupid Sephardic Crypto Jew Rubio.
Trump must learn the hard way,that in politics one cannot ever make deals with Jews.
It’s there way,or the highway.
Trumps reward for the approach ?
Nothing ….they are building up a total fool named Uncle Ben Carson to knock him off,than insert Rubio.
Adelson rubs his hands together and chuckles.
The Jew formula complete.
