CNN host Fareed Zakaria says President Trump’s missile strike in Syria shows him displaying the same qualities as America’s past leaders.
“I think Donald Trump became president of the United States last night,” he said Friday on CNN’s “New Day." "I think this was actually a big moment.”

Sad, that. They were all "oh, we don't want some lunatic with his finger on the nuclear button." But then the only media validation of his presidency was when he ordered a fucking bomb strike.
Edit: I'd like to add that Trump's airstrike was, in my opinion, the nadir of his term, and I remember thinking "he's just like the rest of them, I guess." Of course, this trend did not really continue like with Obama, Bush, and Clinton, which is when I slowly gained respect for him.
I do not expect Biden to act so magnanimously.
Or were the other airstrikes not as bad from your point of view? (Airstrikes in 2017, 2018, 2019)
And also, are Drone strikes considered different in this regard? As many drone strikes carried out by both Obama and Trump it seems, but doesn't look like a reduction of activity in that regard by Trump.
