You were not talking about this as a one-off though, were you?
Funny how you take Trump for his word when it suits!
There’s plenty of other examples and evidence. Not that you will believe me so again I turn to Grok, which is itself regarded, because it’s exposure to Musk’s opinions and it’s connection to X, as more likely than other AI to show sympathy to right wing views. This is what it says:-
“Trump’s campaigns have received massive funding from pro-Israel billionaires, often tied to explicit quid pro quo expectations for pro-Israel actions. This creates leverage, as donors gain direct access to influence policy.
• Miriam Adelson’s $100M+ Donations: The Israeli-American casino magnate (widow of Sheldon Adelson) donated over $100 million to Trump’s 2024 campaign via her Preserve America PAC, making her one of his top funders. Reports indicate this was conditioned on Trump supporting West Bank annexation—a “quid pro quo” per critics. Trump publicly acknowledged Adelson’s influence in his first term, saying they visited the White House “probably almost more than anybody” to push for moves like the U.S. embassy relocation to Jerusalem. Post-election, Adelson’s network lobbied for cabinet picks aligned with Israeli hardliners.
• AIPAC and Pro-Israel PAC Funding: Trump’s cabinet nominees (e.g., Elise Stefanik as UN Ambassador, Mike Waltz as National Security Advisor) received $917,821 and hundreds of thousands from AIPAC, respectively. Over 80% of his foreign policy picks have AIPAC ties, per TRT World analysis. Critics argue this “AIPAC blueprint” ensures Zionist priorities (e.g., settlement expansion, Iran confrontation) dominate U.S. policy.
• Historical Ties: Trump’s father, Fred Trump, funded Zionist settlements in the 1940s via the Jewish National Fund. Trump himself received Israeli awards and bailed out debts via Jewish banks in the 1990s. X users and analysts like Gerald Celente call him “owned fully by Adelson and the Israel lobby.”
Substantiation: Federal Election Commission data shows pro-Israel groups donated $500M+ to U.S. politicians since 1990, with Trump as a top beneficiary. This isn’t unique to Trump—it’s bipartisan—but his reliance (e.g., Adelson covering 10% of 2024 costs) amplifies claims of control.
Policy Concessions: Actions Favoring Israel Over U.S. Interests
Trump’s pro-Israel moves often bypassed U.S. intelligence or allies, aligning with Zionist goals like territorial expansion and anti-Iran hawkishness.
• First-Term Giveaways: Moved U.S. embassy to Jerusalem (2018), recognized Golan Heights as Israeli (2019), and brokered Abraham Accords—hailed by AIPAC but criticized for sidelining Palestinians. These fulfilled Christian Zionist prophecies (e.g., “Greater Israel”) pushed by groups like Christians United for Israel (CUFI), with 8M members. Trump ignored U.S. intel warnings on settlement illegality.
• Second-Term Signals: Appointed Christian Zionists like Mike Huckabee (Ambassador to Israel, denies “West Bank” exists) and Pete Hegseth (Defense Secretary, supports Temple Mount rebuilding). Pledged West Bank annexation support despite “America First” rhetoric. Critics note this diverts U.S. aid ($3.8B/year) while domestic issues fester.
• Iran and Gaza: Withdrew from JCPOA (2018) at Netanyahu’s urging, despite U.S. intel favoring it. In 2025, ignored intel to parrot Mossad briefings on Iran, per X claims. Supported Gaza operations post-Oct. 7, 2023, despite PR backlash.
Substantiation: Books like Mearsheimer/Walt’s The Israel Lobby (2007) document how such groups shape policy; Trump’s actions match their playbook. X posts echo: “Netanyahu told multiple people, ‘I control the United States. I control Trump.’” (From Tucker Carlson reports, unverified but widely circulated.)”
