Christian Genocide: We Are Going To Do Things To Nigeria That Nigeria Is Not Going To Be Happy About — Trump
Christian Genocide — US President Donald Trump warned on Tuesday that the United States could take forceful action over what he described as escalating attacks on Christians in Nigeria, insisting Washington will not “stand idly by” while such violence continues.
“We cannot watch these atrocities unfold in Nigeria — or elsewhere — and do nothing,” Trump said, adding: “We stand ready, willing and able to protect our great Christian communities around the world.”
Speaking forcefully about possible measures, the president threatened firm steps against those he blamed for the bloodshed.
“This cannot keep happening. The slaughter of Christians will stop. We will take measures against Nigeria that will make the country take notice — and if called for, we will move with overwhelming force to eliminate the Islamic terrorist cells behind these horrific attacks,” he declared.
In blunt language, Trump said he had directed the administration to prepare military options.
“I’ve instructed the Department of War to draw up plans for potential action. If we strike, it will be swift, severe and decisive — just as the terrorists strike our people,” he said, framing the situation as an existential threat to Christianity in the region.
Trump stressed the scale of the crisis by citing casualty figures and singling out extremist groups as responsible for mass killings.
“Thousands of Christians are being slaughtered — radical Islamists are carrying out mass murder. I am designating Nigeria a country of particular concern,” he said, pointing to what he described as appalling global tallies: “3,100 here versus 4,476 worldwide — terrible numbers.”
Calling for immediate congressional attention, Trump urged lawmakers to act without delay.
“Something must be done,” he said. “I’m asking Congressman Riley Moore, Chairman Tom Cole and the House Appropriations Committee to look into this now and report back to me — and I mean immediately.”

PulseNets learnt the president’s remarks were part of a broad denunciation of violence against Christians and a call for rapid U.S. involvement if diplomatic or other measures fail. The comments are certain to intensify scrutiny of U.S.–Nigeria relations and will prompt debate in Washington over what measures, if any, should follow.
