Bill Ackman laid blame for the drone attack that killed three American service members in Jordan over the weekend at the feet of President Biden — the latest broadside unleashed by the billionaire hedge fund manager against the 81-year-old commander-in-chief.
Ackman, who has urged Democrats to move on from Biden, said that the idea of giving the incumbent another four years in the White House is “dangerous and absurd.”
He echoed Republican lawmakers who assailed Biden over the weekend for failing to deter US enemies in the region, particularly Iran, which was blamed for the strike.
“Our enemies perceive weak American leadership, which has allowed them to attack us with impunity at a grave cost to our servicemen,” the 57-year-old founder and CEO of Pershing Square Capital Management wrote on his X social media account on Sunday.
Ackman, who has also urged continued US support for Ukraine in its effort to beat back Russian troops who have invaded the country, wrote that the US has “arrived at a place where our enemies do not fear us.”

For months, Ackman, who has raised his public profile with his fierce denunciations of Harvard administrators for their response to the Hamas attacks and anti-Israel sentimet among the student body, has been vocal about his view that Biden should decline to seek re-election.
The attack took place at a military base in northeastern Jordan — not far from the border with Syria.
In November, he opined that Biden is past his “peak” and should drop out of the race for the Democratic nomination for president.
Earlier this month, he warned that former President Donald Trump, who appears to be coasting to the GOP nomination following his victories in Iowa and New Hampshire, would “crush” Biden in a rematch in November.
Ackman has even donated $1 million to Phillips, the congressman who is the only Democratic lawmaker to challenge Biden.
Phillips and Marianne Williamson, the self-help author, are the only two Democrats who have officially declared their candidacies.
