Trump now says "If I weren't president, Saudi Arabia wouldn't be here right now ... They'd be wiped off the face of the planet." 🙃

Yes, there were reports after the Houthi attacks that Saudi Arabia wasn't pleased that the U.S. didn't come to its defense. What's your relationship like with the Saudis right now?

Good, good. I've done a lot for Saudi Arabia. I protect Saudi Arabia. If I weren't president, Saudi Arabia wouldn't be here right now. Neither would Israel. They'd be wiped off the face of the planet. I do a lot for Saudi Arabia. My relationship with them is very good. I like the crown prince. My relationship is very good. But remember, if I weren't here, there wouldn't be a Saudi Arabia. There wouldn't be an Israel. There wouldn't be various other countries also.

This pairs well with, "If you don't elect me, we will be in a war with Iran. "
