Trump loyalist Tom Barrack charged w/being an Unlawful Foreign Agent for the United Arab Emirates (UAE) while working as an advisor to Trump. He even inserted language into a Trump speech praising UAE. So Barrack (& by extension Trump) were doing what was best for UAE (not USA).

If the information regarding Tom Barrack is true, it’s more evidence that the former President was willing to advance the interests of foreign powers rather than the United States. https://t.co/TQXs9Yjker

One of the mysteries of Trump's first six months was why the administration came out of the gate so hot for Saudi and UAE--with Trump traveling to Saudi Arabia and then going along with the Qatar blockade. The Tom Barrack indictment explains a lot.
