Then you need to pay better attention. Most of the criticism was directed at the way he waffled about the decision.

We don't know what actually happened in the brain of the president. On a good day he is lying, corrupt and lazy. On a bad day he has obvious cognitive deficiencies. So we can't know if he intended to follow through on the attack or if it was just a show. We don't know how certain he and his people are about Iran attacking the drone.

I see.

I wonder though, he is lazy and has cognitive deficiencies you say, but he made billions and is the president of the United States. How do you account for that?

For one thing, nobody knows how much money he had or has, let alone "made". We do know that he inherited about $400 Million through illegal schemes. Over a few decades, invested in the stock market, or almost anything else really, he could have been a totally unskilled billionaire. What he actually did, however, was to lose billions. There is indeed no apparent way he could have "earned" even a single billion, between all his failures. And no proof he ever personally owned a billion. He certainly seems in no rush to prove otherwise.

And you don't want to get me started on what lead to his electoral win. It certainly wasn't his smarts.

LOL, that's pretty delusional.

However, whatever makes you happy.
