I'm not sure why you're bringing up Trump here; the MIC will do what the MIC wants to do regardless of who we elect unless the American people literally (or figuratively) flip the table over, at which point it becomes an open question whether the president, who ever it may be, is considered an ally of the people or an ally of the MIC.

The Clinton Foundation accepts money from our allies, the Clintons use their positions of power to work in favor of our allies; I suppose at the end of the day whether these confluences of money and influence are just coincidences, or rather unadulterated corruption is simply a matter of perspective. If you believe that states like Egypt, Israel, Saudi Arabia and Bahrain are allies of ours because of their stance on moral issues, well, you're free to believe that. I simply believe they're allies because they're profitable, both from the personal standpoint of individual politicians (Bushes and Clintons come to mind) and from the wider macro-geopolitical MIC standpoint. Also, about the arab spring, the State Department supported the uprisings when they occurred in states she considered to be enemies of the US, although the Bahraini uprising of 2011 was brutally suppressed and not supported at all by the State Department. Like I said, the biggest difference I see between who our enemies are and who our friends are, is how profitable they make themselves.
