President Trump's speech yesterday was a good look for him, instead of reacting emotionally to the Iranian rocket attack on U.S. and Iraqi troops. President took nine minutes to describe Iran's terror activities and warn the Mullers to knock it off. Mr. Trump also said he does not want war

and offered to even negotiate with Iran. Now, disarmed critics were stunned at the president's restraint, and that helped him with independent voters at home and people abroad who don't want, like America and or Donald Trump. The president appealed to American voters by showing restraint, and in wartime, restraint and discipline are needed by the commander-in-chief. But Donald Trump really is anti-war.

If you read my book, The United States of Trump, it is clear going all the way back to the Vietnam conflict that Mr. Trump does not believe war in general, helps the USA. And he really opposed the Iraq situation after initially supporting it, like many of us did, when the weapons of mass destruction controversy lean toward Saddam Hussein having those weapons. Of course, it turned out he did not. Donald Trump is a man who wants good business, above all. He's transactional. You need to understand that if you want to understand what's happening in the government. So war does not help American business, doesn't help the American people, unless we're attacked, of course, and have to defend ourselves. And you can make a case that Iran has been attacking the USA, but not on a level where we all feel insecure every day. President Trump has put his main competitor, Joe Biden, in a tough spot.

Remember, as Vice President Biden opposed the action to take out Osama bin Laden. He was the only member of Barack Obama's cabinet that said no to the Navy SEAL raid in Pakistan. Now, Mr. Biden appears to have opposed the Quds Force general. role's demise. If Joe Biden had been president, that drone would not have been dropped on Soleimani. So now there's an opportunity for Donald Trump to say, well, what kind of commander in chief would you be? And Mr. Biden will be on the defensive. The president's speech yesterday allows America room to retaliate if Iran keeps it up. And that country might because the mullers do not want Donald Trump reelected. So keep your eye on that. Now, summing up, the critics in the media

had a very hard time slamming President Trump's speech yesterday. That is the key. If the Trump haters couldn't find anything to bang him over the head with, that means the speech was pretty good.
