Likely, but we don't know. So you can't just brush it off and say nobody is overreacting to downed drones, clearly one very important party is.

"Acting" is a fairly important part of the word "overreacting". There were no actions, so there was no overreaction. You know Trump better than this by now.
Sure, and how many appalling things does Trump "nearly" do each week? The guy's mouth leaks like a sieve and I don't imagine you really believe he received a casualty estimate mere minutes before giving the go ahead. That is not at all how these things work. His story made no sense at all... unless he was lying to both frighten Iran and appear empathetic at home. Your second sentence is far more likely than your first.
