Trump says 'no president' has helped Israel more than he has

Donald Trump on Wednesday said no American president had done more than he has for Israel, as he swatted away criticism of his recent comments about Jewish Americans that were seen as anti-Semitic.

"I have been responsible for a lot of great things for Israel," Trump said when asked about his assertion that Jewish Americans who vote for Democrats show "a total lack of knowledge or great disloyalty."
Presidential candidate and left-leaning independent Senator Bernie Sanders tweeted: "My message to Trump: I am a proud Jewish person and I have no concerns about voting Democratic."
