Trump on the Houthis: The Houthis are behaving very badly. I thought they had learned their lesson a year ago when we bombed the hell out of them and then stopped at their request.

Iran is a failing nation with no navy, no air force, the world's worst economy, and 301% inflation. Someone should explain to the Houthis that I'm not running in these elections. I've already won by a massive landslide, but I'll still be here afterward, and I will never forget!
