Implicating Iran in the attacks, Graham lauded “the Administration’s efforts to create a regional coalition, thoroughly brief the Congress on the actions taken, and come up with a plan of action to restore deterrence against an evil regime in Iran.”
The South Carolina Republican then directly addressed Trump, writing, “The measured response by President @realDonaldTrump regarding the shooting down of an American drone was clearly seen by the Iranian regime as a sign of weakness.”
Trump responded to Graham’s characterization on Tuesday evening, arguing that some had simply failed to grasp his approach to Iran.
“No Lindsey, it was a sign of strength that some people just don’t understand!” Trump replied.
