'Always about the money': Trump bashed for 'unserious' response to Iran strikes
Political analysts and observers bashed President Donald Trump on Sunday for his "unserious" response to the strikes in Iran.
On Saturday, the U.S. and Israel coordinated strikes on several sites across Iran. Israel struck sites where the country's political and military leadership were located, which killed Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, the dictator who had ruled the country since 1989. The U.S. struck sites where Iran was keeping its ballistic and nuclear missiles, according to reports.
After the mission concluded, Trump did not immediately return to Washington, D.C. to monitor the situation. Instead, he stayed in Florida at his Mar-a-Lago estate to attend a high-dollar fundraiser, The New York Times reported.
Political analysts and observers reacted to the news on social media.
