    Israel is very costly to the US both in in cash and political problems.
    Israeli press is becoming openly anti trump, many publishing very unfavourable reports about him.
    The Israel government is upset because of White house leaks, something they predicted back in January 2017.
    Trump's policies are very likely to put the US under a lot of economy pressure as his military spending increases and his isolationist policies mean nations avoid buying US products.

    The long and the short is, either Trump will throw a fit and stop funding Israel or the US will be in such a financial mess it will no longer be able to afford Israel.

    Either was, I believe US funding to Israel will stop if Trump remains in office for a full term.

    There is absolutely NOTHING in the Constitution that authorizes financial support for any foreign government.

    Funny how the forum right wingers hate financial support for poor taxpaying Americans who need medical assistance but they applaud giving government money to foreigners who never paid one cent in taxes to the USA. But when you think about it, it's no surprise given the right wing's propensity to have no principle and to be filled with hatred for poor Americans.

    That's hardly a shock - he never keeps any of his promises.

    About the only loyalty Trump has ever shown is to private profit obtained through socializing costs.
    God help Gaza if Trump's found a way to profit from Israeli defense stocks.

    I do not suppose that the consecutive collaboration between Israel and the Usa can be halted due to a presidential resolution, it's something much deeper than what we're all familiar with,some sort of startegic alliance that lasts forever.
    It is evident that Israel is light spot and a strategic advantage to the USA and its importance to american seizure over the middle east is critical.
    Accordingly,Cutting down on the military assistance for Israel can be devastating and definitely not worth the menace.
    Donald Trump is an unexpected buddy, But he also figures out how considerable it is to have powerful Israel in this raging region.
