Comment on Do you think that Trump is being blackmailed?
marcos@lemmy.world 6 days agothen does Israel also have something on the vast majority of Congress?
Isn’t that well known? When did people forget Israel pays for the campaign of the vast majority of the politicians in the US?

We’re talking about blackmail material. If AIPAC is sufficient explanation for why congress supports Israel, why do we need all this conjecture and supposition that Trump is being blackmailed, when we know for a fact that he takes AIPAC money too?

My guess it’s because it’s very likely that Israel has some very damning blackmail material on Trump.
But I do agree it’s not necessary. There’s enough publicly known reasons for Trump to support them to the death of the second-to-last US citizen without the need of any secret material.

Plus Trump has a natural hardon for authoritarian leaders.
