A reporter asked President Donald Trump if God is on America’s side in the war with Iran during a contentious presser on Monday.
Trump shared a series of posts on Truth Social Sunday, including several on the rescue of an American servicemember trapped behind enemy lines. He also issued warnings to Iran over the Strait of Hormuz, writing in one “Glory be to GOD!” and in another, “Praise be to Allah.” At his White House press briefing on Monday, a reporter asked the president whether he believes God supports the U.S. in Iran.

“You’ve said glory be to God in this conflict,” the Washington Post reporter began. “Do you believe that God supports the United States actions in this war? And—”
“I do, because God is good,” Trump interjected. “Because God is good and God wants to see people taken care of. God doesn’t like what’s happening. I don’t like what’s happening. Everyone says, I enjoy, I don’t enjoy this. I don’t enjoy it.”
Trump continued, citing his actions in conflicts around the world as evidence of his intent. “I don’t like seeing people killed. I’ve ended eight wars. Nobody’s ever done it. The person who won the Nobel Prize came to me and said, you deserve the Nobel Prize. She announced that when they announced.”
“She’s a great person, really a good person,” he continued. “She said, ‘No, no, no. This is ridiculous. They gave me the Nobel Prize, President Trump ended eight wars.”
Trump has secured multiple peace deals around the world during his second term, including defusing a conflict between India and Pakistan, both nuclear-armed states. He told the reporter that the prime minister of Pakistan said he saved “from 30 to 50 million lives,” adding that those achievements make him “much happier than what we’re doing right now” in Iran. “That makes me much happier.”
“We have one more to end, by the way,” Trump concluded, seemingly referencing the war between Russia and Ukraine, which despite multiple efforts by the administration over the last year has not yet been resolved.
