Trump says he has good friends in Lakewood at recent fundraiser for Jeff Van Drew

Last week Thursday, December 16th, President Trump hosted a fundraiser for New Jersey Congressman Jeff Van Drew at his Mar-A-Lago resort in West Palm Beach, Florida.

In attendance were about 40 exclusive guests including Shea Spiegel, well known Lakewood Realtor and David Rosenberg, founder of New Jersey Jewish Business Alliance.

At the event, Shea had a quick chat with the former President. President Trump told him that he was disappointed in Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu that he didn’t treat him as he would have hoped, after having supported him and treated Israel so well during his presidency. “What a shame that 79% of Jews in America don’t even support Israel”, Trump concluded.

As part of the conversation Shea mentioned that he is from Lakewood, where an astonishing majority voted for him. Trump said he knows and is grateful to everyone. “I have some good friends in Lakewood”, Trump said.

Congressman Jeff Van Drew is the Republican Congressman representing South Jersey, who switched over from the Democratic party during Trump’s presidency, when Democrats were working to impeach Trump.

Since that move, President Trump has been very vocal in supporting the New Jersey congressman and has now endorsed him for reelection.
