In a late-night statement, former US President Donald Trump criticized Jewish voters who support the Democratic Party, calling it 'beyond my understanding.' He also asserted his own record, claiming he was 'the best president in the history of Israel.' The remarks, reported Friday night, add to a series of recent statements by Trump on Israel and US politics. As The Zioneer has reported, Trump previously said he was the best friend Israel ever had in the White House, and that he would likely endorse Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu in the upcoming election.
