If Trump appears aggressive and revengeful about the Iran missile attack...

...Iran will have won the first battle in the war. The one for public opinion and moral superiority.

It would further indicate his incompetence for the job of Commander in Chief.

This is a very important speech in his presidency.

He’ll say something about how there has been too much bloodshed already, we don’t need any more, etc.

That way, he looks like a peacemaker.

He started this, and now he will blame Obama, and the media, and liberals, for his mistakes.
