I am looking at was said as a means of strength, you're not. 
Of course he would be upset by this aggression of this unprovoked attack. 
I would not expect any U.S. President to act or talk about what happened
as if it never happened.

This was Trump's moment and I think he handled it pretty well with all
considering, I think the Iranians are pleased the way it turned out also.

This is not what you said, I am responding to you in the message that was
originally written by Lee.

Nevertheless, why do you believe that Trump seeks a war with Iran? 
When President Trump has said many times that he does not want a war with Iran.

War with Iran, is up to Iran.
If any American life or lives are killed, caused by further Iranian aggression
they will discover instantly that "They made a very big mistake."

Justice will be served and the battle will rage
This big dog will fight when you rattle his cage
And they will be sorry that they messed with
The U.S. of A.
'Cause we'll put a boot their ass
It's the American way.
