Donald Trump was heading to Florida on Friday, watching Fox News, when he saw the network run a story on how Christians were being targeted by Islamic groups in Nigeria, two sources familiar with the matter told CNN.

He was “immediately” angered by it, one of the sources said, and asked to get further read in on the issue. Shortly after Air Force One touched down in West Palm Beach, he began posting on Truth Social.

“Christianity is facing an existential threat in Nigeria. Thousands of Christians are being killed. Radical Islamists are responsible for this mass slaughter,” he posted, adding that he is making Nigeria a “Country of Particular Concern” under the International Religious Freedom Act.

I swear it's like he's sundowning. He focuses each day on whatever story confused and frightened him the night before.

    I doubt it. It’s conspiracy theory, but anything that Fox News talks about could very well be pre-planned with people like Steven Miller.

    They planned out the Afrikaaner bullshit with Musk or Thiel or whoever and brought over a photo op group right away too.

    I wouldn’t be surprised if this is a similar story of admin wanting it, then making news stories to justify it.

    The only reason his first term wasn’t worse was because some people in the admin were brave enough to tell him no.

    I grew up in Nigeria and am here now after an absence, there is a problem in the north with Boko Haram, who are terrorists, however they are not targeting Christians, they are killing people randomly, they will attack Churches, Mosques, schools, etc. They are not waging a holy war against anyone, they are terrorists full stop.

    The real question is, who is funding all this, they should be the ultimate targets. These people are sponsored by someone.

    We tend to forget that his voters are the same, to an extent. The only time they realize there is a country called Nigeria is when it shows up in a Fox News segment, and then Something Must Be Done About It TM right away.

    From their perspective, he keeps his fingers on the pulse of the world!

    So they're actively trying to setup a casus belli for invading Nigeria. This is literally crusade shit.

    The Peace of Westphilla is often considered a point in time where the Church lost major political influence over international politics. Nation states would negotiate with each other without the Church being an official mediator. The white christian nationalists behind Trump are trying to undo this. Trump obviously only cares about them in so far as they vote for him, but he's happy to push their idea.

    Someone should just keep Sesame Street running when he's able to see the TV.

    Are you often angry? Do you suspect your wives have all hated you? Was your cameo in a popular movie sequel unsatisfying? Anxious about your smell or going to prison?
