> Politicians shouldn’t be allowed to accept campaign donations from foreign governments. How can they claim to put America first if they are beholden to a foreign nation?

My understanding is that that's already the law, and AIPAC claims to be funded by domestic donations. It's obviously possible someone is lying, but then the answer to your "how can they claim" question is straightforward: believing (or pretending to believe) those lies.
