Former President Donald Trump inquired whether a documentary filmmaker recording an interview with him last year was a “good Jewish character,” described Persians as “very good salesmen” and complained that Israeli Jews favored him more than Jews in the United States, the New York Times reports.
Said Trump: “In Israel, I’m at like 94 percent, but I got 27, 28 percent.”
At one point in the recording, Trump asked if the camera was rolling, then added, “Don’t let it roll.”
