Maybe some small financial deals like you mention.
But that is money, not anything to do with the American people.

American has made its bed and will be stuck with it.

Expecting help from some magical source is wishful thinking.

Like we kept expecting the courts, the DOJ, the government, someone to deal with Trump.
Our own people wouldn't save us from Trump. No one else will save us that is for sure.
