Trump Lauds Billionaire Donor, Forgetting US Taxpayers
Trump, speaking in the Knesset, lauded Miriam Adelson, confirming she generously poured over $100 million into his 2024 campaign because, as he put it, she 'loves Israel.' This isn't charity; it's a direct investment in US policy. Adelson's late husband, Sheldon, famously stated, 'I am not an American who happens to be Jewish. I am a Jew who happens to be an American.' (New Yorker, 2012). This
sentiment perfectly encapsulates the 'dual loyalty' suspicion AIPAC works so hard to deny, even as its biggest funders openly prioritize one nation's interests over America's. We fund armies of lobbyists, write checks to politicians, give speeches in foreign parliaments, and then we pretend these 'donations' have nothing to do with US policy outcomes. How many more $100 million 'expressions of
love' will it take for Washington to admit it's not looking after American interests with clarity?
