  "account": "On Thursday, former President Donald Trump engaged in a lengthy radio interview with host Hugh Hewitt, delving into a wide range of topics. Among the subjects discussed were Trump's potential aspirations to become Israel's prime minister, his plans to \"get Cuba\" before the conclusion of his second term, and advice he offered to reality star Spencer Pratt following his unsuccessful run for Los Angeles mayor.\n\nThe interview came in the wake of the GOP's significant loss in the midterm elections. During the conversation, Trump admitted that he did not comprehend how certain candidates, such as Michigan Senator-elect Abdul El-Sayed, managed to secure the support of Jewish voters. He remarked, \"I wasn't on the ballot, but still, if you look at El-Sayed in Michigan, he got more votes than the Republican candidate got by quite a bit from Jewish people. I can't, it's not even understandable. It's a tough group to get.\"\n\nTrump claimed to hold a 99% approval rating in Israel, echoing a similar statement he made on Fox News on Election Day. He expressed his inclination towards serving as Israel's prime minister, stating, \"Literally, I'm at 99%, the most popular person. You know, when this is over, I could go to Israel and be prime minister.\"\n\nLooking forward, Trump revealed his intention to address the situation in Cuba before his term ends. He mentioned having a \"very good, talented guy for Cuba named [Secretary of State] Marco Rubio,\" who shares his aspiration to depose Cuba's communist government. Trump described Cuba as a \"failed, you know, place, nation, whatever you want to call it\" and emphasized his desire to bring about change.\n\nThe interview also included Trump reflecting on his past advice to Spencer Pratt. When Hewitt expressed concern about the Los Angeles Olympics in 2028, Trump noted the city's current state as a mess. He floated election rigging theories, claiming that he had watched the winning candidate cry after being defeated by a rival who had made it to the finals. Trump emphasized that Pratt had done a great job but argued that the GOP candidate should have protested the election results, stating, \"There's no question about it. The election was rigged.\"",
