The thing to remember about Trump is that he heavily criticised his 2016 rival in the U.S Presidential Election, Hillary Clinton when she was Secretary of State and how weak she and President Obama was when four Americans were killed in that Embassy attack and that it was only the other day, he highlighted he was not going to allow another "Benghazi" on his watch, he has to be seen by his base not to be weak.

I do not necessarily agree with this bold move, but I am not going to shed a tear either.
