Ok, but this one isn't really a word salad. The meaning is fairly clear: it's a shakedown operation, a protection racket. The payoff could be to "the United States," but it could just as easily, and even better, be directly to the Don and his syndicate: Trump Gaza, Trump Casino Kiev, Trump Hanoi golf course, whatever.
That's all he cares about. That's all he's ever cared about.
