At least not over the longer arc. While there are so very many skeletons in Trumps closet that or could be the case with him, but for decades it seemed paramount that one of the first tasks for any incoming president was to prove that he could sufficiently coddle Israel. Which always puzzled me. And I don't think it was kompromat every time. It was something else.
