Sir Jacob, who is fighting to be re-elected in the new constituency of North East Somerset and Hanham, also revealed he would vote for Mr Trump over Joe Biden.
He said: “Every so often, I slightly peek over the parapet, like that image from the Second World War of the man looking over the wall, and say if I were an American, I would vote for Donald Trump and it’s always the most unpopular thing I ever say in British politics, but I’m afraid it’s true.
"I would definitely vote for Donald Trump against Joe Biden.”

Sir Jacob claimed Mr Biden "doesn't like Britain" and that was his key concern ahead of the 2024 presidential election.
He said: “That’s … much more important for me than whether somebody closes the border between the US and Mexico … I want Trump to succeed as he looks like the candidate.
"And one does to some degree worry about the mental acuity of President Biden.”
