Of course the rest of the tweet might explain further as the next time I go to trump's Twitter site will be the first time.

Glad to help!

First he starts by blaming Obama:

....Death to America. I terminated deal, which was not even ratified by Congress, and imposed strong sanctions. They are a much weakened nation today than at the beginning of my Presidency, when they were causing major problems throughout the Middle East. Now they are Bust!....

Then he says they were "cocked and loaded" when he stopped the entire thing.

....proportionate to shooting down an unmanned drone. I am in no hurry, our Military is rebuilt, new, and ready to go, by far the best in the world. Sanctions are biting & more added last night. Iran can NEVER have Nuclear Weapons, not against the USA, and not against the WORLD!

Now the phrase:  "We were cocked & loaded to retaliate last night on 3 different sights when I asked, how many will die." makes it pretty clear that he didn't ask or didn't know (maybe didn't hear?) the possible death toll until they were ready to strike.

But there will always be those ready, willing and able to make sure what Trump specifically says is not what he said or meant.
