Yep. Saudi Arabia, Russia, Iran, Hungary, Israel, or some combination thereof are Trumps only hope to make bond.

Which means he could theoretically be compromised to hell and back (if he’s not already there) by Election Day.

historically, a presidential nominee getting a shitton of money for a foreign government would be the sort of thing to take a campaign. Also, in the case of Saudi Arabia, Hungary, and Israel… they’d be risking potential sanctions and otherwise damaging relations with the US. That’s not the sort of bet any of them are going to take.
