Saturday afternoon, just a day after posting his displeasure with the ongoing persecution of Christians in Nigeria, President Trump threatened that country’s government should it fail to protect the religious minority there.

Posting on Truth Social, the president stated, “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 said he wants the U.S. military to be ready for possible deployment, saying, “I am hereby instructing our Department of War to prepare for possible action. 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!”

Friday, Trump asserted, “Christianity is facing an existential threat in Nigeria. Thousands of Christians are being killed. Radical Islamists are responsible for this mass slaughter. I am hereby making Nigeria a ‘COUNTRY OF PARTICULAR CONCERN’ – But that is the least of it.”

In response to that statement, pop star Nicki Minaj expressed her gratitude to Trump for highlighting the plight of Nigerian Christians.

“Reading [the president’s statement] made me feel a deep sense of gratitude,” wrote Minaj. “We live in a country where we can freely worship God. No group should ever be persecuted for practicing their religion. We don’t have to share the same beliefs in order for us to respect each other.”
