Donald Trump's recent statements regarding a potential deal with the Houthis have been met with outright rejection and derision from the Houthi leadership. Hussein Al-Bukhaiti, a pro-Houthi journalist and brother to a member of the Houthi political bureau, provided a stark counter-narrative, highlighting the Houthi's escalating military actions against Saudi Arabia and their perception of the United States' declining influence in the region.
Trump's "Absolute Fool" Status and the Houthi Stance
Al-Bukhaiti dismissed Trump's claims of ongoing negotiations, stating that the Houthis view Trump as an "absolute fool" and a "clown." He emphasized that the Houthis are not talking to Trump and that his statements are perceived as mere political posturing. This sentiment is rooted in a deep distrust of Trump, whom Al-Bukhaiti claims has a history of lying and has been known for "lying since he took office."
