Contrary to the "Trumps a warmonger" hysteria he has shown a lot of restraint.
Iran attacks:
Open shipping lanes & ships.
Oil refineries.
A US drone over international waters.
A US contractor.
US soldiers.
The embassy in Iraq.
And now a major direct strike at US assets and military personnel.
Thus far our only response has been very muted and small in scale. Any one of the above scenarios would have prompted all previous presidents to retaliate in a much bigger fashion. And don't even attempt to exclude Obama because he attacked both Libya & Syria with far less provocations.
Face it, to this point Trump has shown major restraint in the face of constant taunting from both Iran and the left.
