Trump tells Department of Defense to 'prepare for possible action' in Nigeria

President Donald Trump on Saturday said he has instructed the Defense Department to “prepare for possible action” in Nigeria over the country’s alleged killing of Christians.

“If the Nigerian Government continues to allow the killing of Christians, the U.S.A. will immediately stop all aid and assistance to Nigeria, and may very well go into that now disgraced country, ‘guns-a-blazing,’ to completely wipe out the Islamic Terrorists who are committing these horrible atrocities,” Trump wrote on social media.

“If we attack, it will be fast, vicious, and sweet, just like the terrorist thugs attack our CHERISHED Christians! WARNING: THE NIGERIAN GOVERNMENT BETTER MOVE FAST!” Trump added.

Trump’s announcement comes a day after he categorized Nigeria as a “country of particular concern,” a designation the U.S. gives countries the government deems as engaging in “particularly severe violations of religious freedom.” Other countries on the list include China, Cuba and North Korea.

I remember during the election when Trump voters claimed Kamala was a war monger and that Trump would get us out of foreign wars. No doubt they now make excuses for his endless wars.

1. Someone screwed his head on wrong. Or the threads are worn and rusted.

[Delmette2.0]

55. There are a few loose screws, for sure.

Nothing an inpeachment and a good nursing home for dementia patients won't fix.

[hlthe2b]

2. Good gawd... The least 'Christian' person announces he's going to exploit Christianity to start war with Nigera.

Just sit back R's in Congress and watch him get us into multiple wars and eventually a World War. Given that all across the globe oppose us, that should work out really well for us.

[Trueblue1968]

35. Rump is not a Christian !!!!! He is The AntiChrist !!!!!

He is full of evil hate. How can he be called a Christian. Is a total atheist.

[hlthe2b]

48. Did you really think I was saying that he WAS? Just he opposite!

Neither is Mike Johnson.

[CanonRay]

3. WTF?

Why not the whole planet?

[doc03]

4. Two wars one in South America one in Africa.

I don't think he will get a peace prise for that.

[Xolodno]

26. The scary part....

...while our military is tied up fighting guerilla wars, China may view this as the perfect opportunity to take Taiwan.

[Klarkashton]

5. One of those places with rare earth minerals?

[The Madcap]

13. Yes, if I recall correctly.

This is the Putin way. Go after the natural resources.

[popsdenver]

33. Putin is already

showing much interest in Africa........Maybe he can get Trump to do the "dirty work" while Putin can concentrates on Ukraine & Western Europe??????

Putin also REALLY wants Iceland, Greenland, and Canada for his "northern passage" and the oil and all the minerals under the ocean in that region....

[Mike Nelson]

6. Huh?

... does he see the way the US is terrorizing Christian refugees from South American countries? I wonder if he will start taking these Nigerian people into the US?

[iemanja]

7. No, because they are black.

[mountain grammy]

41. Exactly

[B.See]

59. Exactly. And no, he won't be importing Nigerian Christians anytime soon.

But he WILL be grabbing up all of Nigerian assets (including Tinubu's reported stash) as "QUICKLY, VICIOUSLY, AND SWEETLY" as possible.

20. tRump is not Muslim and who knows what "Muslim-Muslim" is?

Reads like a right-wing talking point, but that is probably not your intention. I guess English is not your mother tongue.

[Buddyzbuddy]

15. Should we just go down an alphabetical list of

Tell me it ain't so.

[muriel_volestrangler]

21. This isn't being a policeman, it's being a Death Wish fantasy vigilante

Since the Central Park Five, the Rapist has had fantasies of killing Black people without having to worry about due process.

It’s time to put this dope in a home for the mentally deviant.

[Diraven]

29. The government of Nigeria is fighting Islamic terrorists

It's idiotic to threaten to attack the Nigerian government over this.

[travelingthrulife]

50. Trump is trying to steal their oil. same with Venezuela.

Remember he was a loud advocate for stealing Iraq's oil in exchange for us spending all that money illegally invading them.

[unblock]

30. Christians vs black people in a country with lots of oil

What's not to like from a right-wing propaganda perspective?

[iemanja]

31. The Christians are black

[unblock]

34. I figured. This is Nigeria after all. But that info won't be part of the right propaganda.

[HighFired49]

57. He probably doesn't know

The Ignorant SOB probably thinks that if they are Christians they must all be white. Wouldn't surprise me in the least.

[catchnrelease]

32. FFSake!!!!

I shouted when I read that headline! Why can't he just mind his own business and deal with the issues here???!! Probably the least christian person on Earth and he's doing this? Omg, please just drop dead.

[Strelnikov_]

36. 230 M Population, Separatist groups armed to the teeth

Yea, that will be a cakewalk.

[BradBo]

37. Trump hates the blacks. He's a menace.

40. Trump: We don't want to be the policemen of the world BY BRETT SAMUELS - 04/30/18 (Remember?)

https://thehill.com/homenews/administration/385521-trump-we-dont-want-to-be-the-policemen-of-the-world/

President Trump on Monday said the U.S. should no longer serve as the “policemen of the world.”

“We more and more are not wanting to be the policemen of the world,” Trump said during a joint press conference with Nigerian President Muhammadu Buhari.

“We’re spending tremendous amounts of money for decades policing the world, and that shouldn’t be the priority,” he said. “We want to police ourselves and we want to rebuild our country. And the president understands that.”{mosads}

Trump ran on the promise that he would extricate the U.S. from foreign wars.

[Hotler]

42. What about the christian Taliban here waiting in the wings for a nod and a wink from the orange convict

to openly hunt and kill Dem & Libs.

[sakabatou]

43. WTAF?

[tornado34jh]

45. We didn't have good relations with a lot of countries in Africa before then

Now we want to get involved in Nigeria? How exactly is that going to build trust in a continent in which most countries at best are very skeptical of the West due to past history? Something tells me it is more than just supposed "Christian persecution" in Nigeria. Most countries in West and Central Africa don't have stable governments or are in some sort of military junta/dictatorship.

[Bread and Circuses]

46. He must realize that he's going drop dead and wants to go first class to HELL

[Snoopy 7]

47. Wake up

trump is doing what netanyahu is doing, trump's trying to start a war to stay out of prison/court. netanyahu and his wife were about to get indicted before he started the was on Gaza which has been going of for over two years, Oct 7, 2023 with no end in site. If trump makes up a fake war he wants to stay in the position of president. trump might even suspend elections which will enable his enablers, the republican party, to stay in power and he can stay in the position of the "imperial president". Who will keep him from staying on(?) after all there's the made up saying that a ''president can't loose their job during a time of war". trumps win on this cause would only mean more trumpism followed by vanceism, our country might not be able to survive us evilness...

[travelingthrulife]

49. So, did the Fool in the half White House end those 8 wars so he could start 8 more?

[travelingthrulife]

51. Don't fall for it. He is planning to steal their oil. Same with Venezuela.

Nothing to do with drugs or Muslims or whatever other boogeyman they invent.

He fully (and loudly) expected that after we illegally invaded Iraq, we should have taken their oil as payment for that war crime.

[B.See]

61. Exactly.

[SSJVegeta]

52. Why pick on small potatos Nigeria? If hes serious why not go straight for China?

[bucolic_frolic]

53. Window dressing for election day

[EX500rider]

54. Really 3 separate battles going on there

There is the Islamic terrorist group Boko Haram.

And there is the local Islamic State in Iraq and the Levant/ISIL faction known as Islamic State West Africa Province/ISWAP.

Then there is the continuing battles between farmers and herders in northern and central Nigeria, the herders are militant Fulani Moslems Vs mostly Christian farmers.

[Martin68]

56. Trump is using random military threats to distract from the numerous defeats and failures he is facing.
