I think people are underestimating how much political credit Trump can claim for killing Suleimani at the price of a few craters in the desert.

He wasn't bin Laden: the average American voter had no idea who he was until this happened, and views of the incident almost exactly track with Trump's approval/disapproval ratings as a whole.

Replying to @BeijingPalmer
Views of everything track with Trump's approval rating, which has been remarkably steady and not affected by anything since the January 2019 shutdown. Note that I didn't say Trump would get a boost from this, but he can tell a very strong story to admirers backed by facts.
