For Republican donors who reportedly paid at least $40,000 to attend Saturdays Mar-a-Lago event , it was no snap to take a photo with Donald Trump , according to The Washington Post .

Relying on taped audio from one attendee and the accounts of others, The Post wrote that GOP presidential candidate Trump complained about having to take so many pictures with donors and told people in the crowd that if they didnt get a picture, it was because they didnt give enough money.

He also told supporters that a wedding at his Florida estate got preference over them because the wedding was paying more per person to be there.
