'Saudi Arabia pays cash': Trump admits 'unlike other presidents' he'll be renting out US troops for military action

Trump’s Bizarre Argument for Defending Saudi Arabia
nymag.com
Oil was up pretty big yesterday, but came back down substantially today.
Could it go back up again? Sure, but it seems the usual hyper-reaction fell back to reality.
Conservatives lost their minds. Fox News ran chyrons suggesting that Obama was “pandering” to Muslims; host Sean Hannity played the clip in slow motion and on a loop. Senate Republicans even ran an online ad attacking the president for bowing to the Saudi king, while the right-wing Washington Examiner published an editorial calling it “a shocking display of fealty to a foreign potentate.”
Fast forward a decade: If a president bowing to the Saudis made conservatives mad in 2009, what do they make of a president effectively putting the Saudis in charge of the U.S. military in 2019?
Two points are worth considering here. First, Article 1, Section 8, Clause 11of the U.S. Constitution grants Congress the “power to declare war.” Previous presidents, including Obama, have ignored this War Powers Clauseand transferred authority for war-making to the executive branch; none of them, however, publicly handed over that authority to a foreign government — an absolute monarchy, no less. Reread those words again from the president: “Waiting to hear from the Kingdom … and under what terms we would proceed.”"

It was a good bow though.
