Trump questions how Jewish voters can support Democrats

Donald Trump has expressed bewilderment at Jewish voters supporting the Democratic Party, stating in a Friday interview with CNBC that he cannot understand how Jewish people would vote Democrat. The former US president made the comments as he continued campaigning ahead of the 2024 election cycle.

Trump also claimed during the interview that he was the best president in Israeli history. He suggested that, in his estimation, he would have received 99 per cent support among Israeli voters had he remained in office, reflecting his assertion that his administration was uniquely supportive of Israeli interests.

The comments reflect Trump’s long-standing effort to appeal to Jewish American voters, a traditionally Democratic-leaning demographic, by emphasizing his administration’s pro-Israel policies. His remarks come amid broader debates within American politics about Jewish voter preferences and support for Israel among different political constituencies.
