This I agree with - lobby groups and contributors do, in fact, direct the policies and subsequent outcomes based on their ability to control a candidate or politician because the politician is indebted to them. This is 100% true.
The problem is Trump is indebted to his own narcissistic view of himself, his ego and the sound of his own voice. That is dangerous. Kinda like having the "button" installed on his desk, anything that sets him off will cause him to slam his fist on the button without thinking causing his country more problems in the long run.
That's the real issue here.
