Former President Donald Trump said during a recent interview that Israel "literally owned Congress" and "rightfully" so. "You know, the biggest change I've seen in Congress is-- Israel literally owned congress, you understand that?" Trump told 570 KVI's Ari Hoffman, who could be seen nodding in agreement. "Ten years ago, 15 years ago and it was so powerful, it was so powerful and today it's almost the opposite," he continued. "You have between AOC and Omar -- and these people that hate Israel, they hate it with a passion -- they're controlling congress and Israel is not a force in congress anymore." "I mean it's just amazing, I've never seen such a change and we're not talking about over a very long period of time but I think you know exactly what I what I'm saying they had such power Israel had such power and rightfully over congress and now it doesn't," Trump said. "It's incredible, actually."

While he was still president, Trump repeatedly stated that Israel -- not oil -- was the "one reason" the US must remain in the Middle East. [Embed starts 47:02] During a rally in Winston-Salem, North Carolina on Sept 8, 2020 Trump said: "The fact is, we don't have to be in the Middle East, other than we want to protect Israel. We've been very good to Israel. Other than that, we don't have to be in the Middle East. You know there was a time we needed desperately oil, we don't need that anymore."
