Pineapples are actually reasonably solid. The question may mean, "Why can't you make fresh pineapple jello?" Enzymes in the pineapple prevent protein molecules from "setting up" into the (semi)solid Gelatin.

How could you successfully make jello with pineapple in it?

You have to cook the pineapple first. Jello won't solidify if you add fresh pineapple.Because pineapples contain proteases, enzymes that break down proteins. Since jello mixes are mostly made of collagen from animal parts, or proteins, pineapples break them down to their simplest forms. When you boil pineapple, it denatures the protease and you should be able to make pineapple jello then.
