On Saturday, the President sent a message to the social truth that if the Nigerian government continues to allow the killing of Christians, they will block aid and be able to enter the country to “wipe out Islamic terrorists.”
“Thus I am instructing our Department of War to prepare for possible action. If we attack, it will be fast, brutal, and fun,” Trump wrote.

“No group should be persecuted again for writing about their religion. We don’t have to share the same beliefs to be respectful,” he wrote.
“Many countries around the world are affected by this act, and it is dangerous to pretend we don’t see it.
“Thank you to the President and his team for taking this seriously. God bless every persecuted Christian. Let’s remember to lift them up in prayer.”
On Sunday, Trump doubled down on the possibility of military intervention in Nigeria, as Reuters It is reported that the President was asked about the Air Force if he sees troops on the ground or in the air.
“It could be. I mean, other things. I think of many things. They killed record numbers of Christians in Nigeria … They killed great Christians. We will not allow that to happen,” he said.
It is unclear if Minaj is a republican or if she voted for Donald Trump in the 2024 Presidential election. In October, the singer is dismissed: “Flattering photos are allowed to be sent again. Thank you, Epiphany thought he would lead them to victory … And money is made for VP Harris?”
And in October, Minaj also shared a video of the President’s grandson, Kai Trump, dancing to one of her songs.
In the October 2020 interview with Rolling StoneMinaj was already famous for her feelings on Trump.
“I don’t buy into the Donald Trump Bandwagon. I don’t like that. I get that a lot of people don’t like him for obvious reasons. But, what bothers me is that children are taken from their parents.
That really bothered me because I was one of those immigrant children who came to America to escape poverty. And I couldn’t imagine a little kid going through all that, trying to get to another country because he didn’t have money in his country, or running away from a war… and then being held by one person that gives you comfort.
That really raised my eyebrows. That’s what makes me go, ‘something about this doesn’t live in my soul.’ But! For a reading celebrity, I think he’s funny as hell. “

Nigeria is the most populous country in Africa with over 230 million people. About half are Muslim and 46 percent are Christian, according to the CIA World Fact book.
The attack on Christians in Nigeria received international attention when the forces of the terrorist group Boko Haram, which opposes Western education, kidnapped 276 Christian schools from the town of Chibok.
However, in recent months, members of the Trump administration have been arguing that the attacks on Christians constitute “genocide,” as Senator Ted Cruz said the Nigerian government was condoning the violence.
Nigeria was listed as a country of “particular concern” for violations of religious freedom, joining North Korea, Russia, Saudi Arabia, Iran, Pakistan, and China.

“Nigeria’s policy of not tolerating hypocrisy does not reflect religious truth, and does not reflect the consistent and sincere efforts of governments to protect freedom of religion and belief,” the statement said on Sunday.
However, some members of the Trump administration supported the President’s statement, including Secretary of War Pete Hegseth.
“The killing of innocent Christians in Nigeria – anywhere – must stop immediately,” wrote X.
“The Department of War is preparing for action. Either the Nigerian government protects the Christians, or we will kill the Islamic terrorists who are doing these horrible things.”
