The extreme defense

The Result

Supporters might argue that the recent Houthi attack on Riyadh airport highlights the ongoing challenges in the region but also underscores the resilience of Saudi Arabia. The defense submits that despite the attack, the country has the capability to recover quickly and maintain its stability.

What Trump Did

The defense might suggest that Trump's administration laid the groundwork for a strong Saudi alliance, which has been crucial in countering threats like the Houthis. The defense admits that while the attack is concerning, it is not indicative of a failure in leadership but rather a reflection of the complex geopolitical landscape.

Why Supporters Credit Him

Supporters might argue that Trump's tough stance on Iran has helped to deter further aggression, and this attack is an isolated incident rather than a sign of broader instability. The defense might argue that the Houthis are acting out of desperation, not strength.

The Supporting Record

The defense submits that Saudi Arabia's quick recovery from such attacks demonstrates its strength and determination to remain a stable force in the region.

The Limitation or Competing Explanation

However, the defense might argue that the Houthis' actions are a reaction to their own internal pressures rather than a reflection of any failure on the part of Saudi Arabia or its allies.

Verdict

If this is Trump's fault, his supporters will gladly let him take the blame.
