Trump has some of the richest people on the planet shielding him.
The garden variety anti-democracy billionaires that are willing to ally with foreign despots are a bigger worry. DeVos. Koch. Harlan Crow.
The GOP's anonymous foreign donors pose an even greater national security risk. Putin. Mohammed bin Salman. Deripaska. Vekselberg.

  Blunting Foreign Interference Efforts by Learning the Lessons of the Past
  
  from Center for American Progress
  
  America was caught off guard in 2016, but the country has learned a great deal from that experience—and by understanding what happened in the past, it can better protect upcoming elections.

  A one-time massive investment in distributed #GreenEnergy would literally change the world. Not only climate change. But a massive shift in business and government as the #FossilFuel companies/countries lose all sway.
  Cheap, pervasive, #GreenEnergy would radical change the finances of businesses and every day people.

  It's why Trump and the GOP are so invested in selling nuclear secrets.
  Selling fusion research to the Saudis is just one avenue sought to thwart climate action

  Western liberal democracies handed over $3 billion a day in profits to the oil industry for 50 years.
  Yet, the same entities demand bribes, in the form of tax cuts, subsidies, or free access to public lands, to keep gas prices low.

  LOL
  The Saudis are the ones responsible for 9/11. Yet we still give them $billions

  What surprises is the fact that foreign donors are clearly funding Republicans and it poses a national security risk.
  https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2023-09-23/desantis-says-ukraine-joining-nato-isn-t-in-best-interest-of-us
  Yet existing 9/11 laws for threat funding do not appear to be used to go after Trump's Russian, Chinese, and Saudi donors. Who all pose national security risks.

  Some things were really better in the "good ol' days" of the "Wild West:"
  Traitors of this magnitude would have just been court-martialed and executed.
  He probly has still 📦 stored as leverage.
