Donald Trump Sparks Boos at GOP Debate

WATCH: Trump Elicits Boos From Debate Audience After Spat With Bush

Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump's comments about the audience at the Republican debate prompted a surprising response: a chorus of boos.

"That's all of his donors and special interests out there," Trump said when the crowd responded to a jab from Jeb Bush on eminent domain.

"Donors, special interests -- the people that are putting up the money," Trump said. "The reason they're not loving me is I don't want their money."

Recent federal filings show that Trump has been funding a substantial portion of his campaign with his own dollars. Earlier this fall, he was using mostly donations from people supporting his campaign.
