They're clearly trying to avoid the risk of being tracked. For example, they could have done stock manipulation and made more money. Trump is someone with the power and craziness to spend a hundred million tracking you down and literally dropping bombs on your head. So it'd be poor risk management to go after his account.

I agree, but only until the bombings, I mean he's the most anti-war president in living memory.

He killed a general from an opposition nation state...

Bombing != war. Trump administration has had plenty of people killed by drone strikes.

yup, trump hates war because it's bad for the businesses he's in (like real estate and luxury branding), but drone strikes don't have that downside.

> President Trump has bestowed additional authority on the Pentagon in his first months in office, which the military has argued will help it defeat the Islamic State more speedily. Mr. Trump did not say whether he had personally approved Thursday’s mission.

I think we can imagine being more anti-war than Trump.

Do you remember Jimmy Carter? Being anti-war means deescalation, diplomacy and solving problems without violence.
