“It’s an evil ideology.”
While speaking to the press during a bilateral meeting with German Chancellor Friedrich Merz in the Oval Office on Tuesday, President Trump was asked why he believes so many countries that aren’t usually allies are coming together to fight and condemn Iran.
Saudi Arabia. Qatar. Israel. All joining against Iran.
“Why are we seeing such unity around the world against Iran?” one reporter asked.
“They’re just evil. It’s not the politics. It’s their whole philosophy,” Trump said.
“It’s where they come from. It’s terrible. Where they kill 35,000 … Now it turns out to be much more than 35,000 people, and in some cases, using machine guns on people who have no weapons,” Trump continued.
“They’re being sniped from buildings. They’re hitting the people with snipers right through the eyes. It’s just a very evil ideology, and nobody’s really seen anything like it,” Trump added.
“Even the fact that they’ve attacked all of their neighbors, and the neighbors weren’t attacking. They thought they’d maybe sit it out … they’ve hit Qatar. They’ve hit the UAE. They’ve hit Saudi Arabia. They’ve hit Oman. They were helping us negotiate. They got hit. Everybody got hit, because they’re evil and they’re bad.”
“It’s a bad seed, and somebody had to do it.”
