    and thier influence on trump is very limited compared to israel, and russia. they though they were getting a deal, but they dont seem to directly interact with politics, such as funding the actual campaigns or superpacs.

      I disagree, please look at Trump’s son in law Kushner’s business dealings in Saudi Arabia (and elsewhere in middle east). The many billions of dollars are “officially” in his private equity firm (and accompanying shell companies).

      Russian oligarchs are small change and have nothing near as much influence (due to less money)

      Saudi Arabia can’t beat Israel for influence, but you know, we formed Israel and they’re like our colony/military base in the middle east; so I don’t think any nation can match that influence, we’re connected as allies, Israel could not exist without the USA.

      I am not saying that Trump doesn’t accept money from Russia or anybody else, though, and exert influence for them. He’ll take money from everywhere and make “deals” with anyone who has billions of dollars.
