I'd say, based on the latest election result, this isn't true.

Trump was basically like: I'm gonna fuck up Palestine. They'd better watch it. He was always clear about this.

And then he won every single swing state and even won popular vote.

Not that I agree with Trump. I merely state what I've observed.

The Israeli-Palestine conflict is far from the #1 priority of things US voters consider when voting in presidential elections.

Also, winning by one of the narrowest margins in US election history, and with less than 50% of the popular vote is hardly a decisive mandate to give Israel a blank check. [1]
