Former President Donald Trump told the Jewish weekly Ami that he was disappointed in how his pro-Israel policies did not translate into massive support among US Jews during his term and in the 2020 election.

The interview, which will appear in the upcoming edition of the US-based publication, was conducted at the 45th president's Florida home and club known as Mar-a-Lago.

"You know what really surprised me?" Trump told reporter Jake Turx, in an excerpt, before mentioning how the various pro-Israel decision he made during his term did not dramatically impact the historically left-leaning Jewish electorate in the US.

He noted the recognition of Jerusalem as Israel's capital and the Golan Heights as sovereign Israeli territory, and withdrawal from the 2015 nuclear deal with Iran, which both former Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Trump see as a grave threat to the region.

"I did the Heights, I did Jerusalem, and I did Iran – the Iran Deal was a disaster, right? And I also did many other things. Jewish people who live in the United States don't love Israel enough. Does that make sense to you? I'm not talking about Orthodox Jews. I believe we got 25% of the Jewish vote, and it doesn't make sense. It just seems strange to me," Trump lamented. "But I did very well in Florida. I did great in Florida."

Turx's exchange with Trump during a press conference early in his term became viral after the then-president cut him off and told him to sit down.

EDITOR'S NOTE: The reason Trump did well with the Jewish vote in Florida is because many of  the Floridian Jews are retired and elderly.  Older folks tend to bee less liberal and more conservative.
