I don't know about that but it would not shock me. Again, Israel's influence in US politics is still massive. The gulf states is as well. While the left has been claiming Trump is a puppet of Putin they largely ignore all the multitude of influences on politicians from all over the globe. They also ignore all our the US influence and interference in the politics of other nations.

We are drowning in hypocrisy. One of the most refreshing things I remember about 2016 Trump was his stating how politics works. How he paid both sides. We need more real talk and less bs. We need less framing and strawmans and more honesty and steelmen.
