"Trump has the "trump" card with Israel, he could threaten to cut off aid and military support and get anything he wants. Yes, he is beholden to certain rich Jewish backers, but understand, Jews overwhelmingly do not favor him."

You may be relying on a false premise there. I was reading a political commentary a day or three ago in which the author was discussing some of the political calculations Trump had probably been doing on some bill or other. He speculated that he would have asked one of his point men to tally up who he could count on for support or as opposition and it would have been very apparent that the number of senators and congressmen beholden to the Israeli lobby was very significant. They would be the key to getting any of his agenda through the legislature.

The bottom line is that had something close to a stranglehold on the legislature, or at least on the swing votes needed to get most legislation through, or to block what he opposed from getting through.
