The people have moved on.
Americans are not just fed up with pandering to Israel by politicians beholden to funding from the American Israel Public Affairs Committee.

More than half of Americans disapprove of how the Supreme Court is doing its job,
while 46 percent believe that the court is ruling on Trump’s policies based on ideology rather than the law,
according to a Washington Post-Ipsos poll.

Natalie Harp, a former One America News Network show host, has emerged as a key gatekeeper to the president.
Her presence with Trump when the president left Air Force One as a decoy while sneaking on to another plane in a service cart
– even as senior officials remained behind
