Not sure if this is a whine to trigger a donation or just a statement of the situation.
Trump Megadonor Adelson's Republican Spending Spree Is Ending
Miriam Adelson along with her late husband Sheldon Adelson were the party’s (republican) biggest donors over the past decade.
The Adelsons were the Republicans biggest donors and they (really he) only cared about one thing. Israel ... The largest donor to the Republicans was a one issue guy and that issue was Israel, not the US.
Sheldon Adelson - donations
According to federal records, from 2010 through 2020, Adelson and his wife donated more than $500 million to the Republican party campaigns and super PACs.[121]
Sheldon Adelson - #1 Issue
Adelson was always more frank about his aims than the media that reported on his contributions. “I’m a one-issue person. That issue is Israel,” he said in 2017, per Pro Publica.
More than anyone else, Adelson can claim credit for transforming the GOP into a party devoted to bolstering Israel’s military occupation and its expansion of West Bank settlements. And the Israeli right, also bankrolled by Adelson, saw many of its political aspirations realized under Donald Trump’s presidency, a political turn that has fractured the long-standing bipartisan consensus on the Jewish state.
