Sure it's not you that's under-thinking it? You wouldn't be the first to underestimate Trump.

As for Trump being controlled by Israel, my experience of that broad viewpoint tells me that even the best of its exponents - men like Jeffrey Sachs, John Mearsheimer and Scott Ritter - fail to differentiate America's interests from those of its ruling class. If the US seems to "fight Israel's wars" that's because its rulers see an alignment of their own interests with those of the Greater (Biblical) Israel far-Right.

I'm with Brian Berletic:

"People tell me Israel controls the US. When I ask how, they tell me AIPAC. But the arms industry spends far more. So do the Banks, Big Pharma, Big Agriculture. A cartel of industries fund think tanks producing papers which become policies and bills that the media sell to the American people. That’s how it works and the Israel lobbyists are a tiny fraction of that. if Israel truly controlled the US, all its forces would be in the Middle East. But they’re also in Ukraine and South Asia because the US is waging proxy war in all three."
