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.
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.
