I read the context but did not get an answer to why Trump said that. Is it my reading skills?

It is sarcasm making fun of their religion. Iranians think their faith in Allah will save them, but Trump bombing will demonstrate that Allah will not save them. Demonstrating (according to Trump) that Islam is a fake religion, unlike Christianity.

Thank you. At least I understand it but its a shame that he cant be a better person. What is the point of fighting evil if you are going to be equally evil yourself?

“Fighting evil” what on earth are you talking about? It’s oil. Money. It’s material resources and power. It’s always been that. Why did the CIA go around the world deposing democratically elected leaders, including Mohammad Mossadegh of Iran, who was replaced by a literal monarch? Do you think they genuinely believed the people they were overthrowing were “evil” and the dictators they installed were not? When they invaded Vietnam and funded Pol Pot, was that about “fighting evil?” Of course not. Democratically elected leaders are more likely to respond to the public will and thereby assert control over their own country’s resources. Tin pot dictators can easily be bought off as long as you cut them in on the exploitation. US foreign policy has never been driven by any high-minded “morality.” Right now, we are giving weapons to the Saudi royal family so they can continue murdering gays and journalists. If such things are so horrible that our “morality” drives us to forcible invade other countries that do that in the name of “liberation,” then why don’t we start by not actively supporting the Saudis? I’ll tell you why: because the Saudis keep the damn oil flowing! That’s all the US cares about and all it’s ever cared about. Angron gets it!

Yeah I know. I totally agree actually and it was more a phrase I used to describe how they have become the terrorists openly now.
