Trump Launches Strikes on ISIS Terrorists in Nigeria
“I have previously warned these Terrorists that if they did not stop the slaughtering of Christians, there would be hell to pay, and tonight, there was.”
On Christmas Day, President Donald Trump announced that the military launched strikes on ISIS terrorists in Nigeria.
Trump wrote on Truth Social:
Tonight, at my direction as Commander in Chief, the United States launched a powerful and deadly strike against ISIS Terrorist Scum in Northwest Nigeria, who have been targeting and viciously killing, primarily, innocent Christians, at levels not seen for many years, and even Centuries! I have previously warned these Terrorists that if they did not stop the slaughtering of Christians, there would be hell to pay, and tonight, there was. The Department of War executed numerous perfect strikes, as only the United States is capable of doing. Under my leadership, our Country will not allow Radical Islamic Terrorism to prosper. May God Bless our Military, and MERRY CHRISTMAS to all, including the dead Terrorists, of which there will be many more if their slaughter of Christians continues.
DONALD J. TRUMP
PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA
At the direction of the President of the United States and the Secretary of War, and in coordination with Nigerian authorities, U.S. Africa Command conducted strikes against ISIS terrorists in Nigeria on Dec. 25, 2025, in Sokoto State.

Nigerian Foreign Minister Yusuf Tuggar said the country provided intelligence to the U.S.:
Now, Nigerian foreign minister, Yusuf Tuggar, has told broadcaster ChannelsTV that he was on the phone with the US secretary of state, Marco Rubio, and that Nigeria “provided” the intelligence.
“We spoke twice. We spoke for 19 minutes before the strike and then we spoke again for another five minutes before it went on,” Tuggar said.
He added that they spoke “extensively” and that President Bola Tinubu gave “the go-ahead” to launch the strikes.
Tuggar did not rule out further strikes, describing them as an “ongoing process” that would also involve other countries.
In an interview with the BBC, Tuggar insisted the strikes had “nothing to do with a particular religion”. He said the operation did not have “anything to do with Christmas, it could be any other day – it is to do with attacking terrorists who have been killing Nigerians”.
Last month, Trump told the Pentagon to prepare for action in Nigeria if the country does not step up to protect Christians.
“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 at the time.
It’s hard to keep up the violence against Christians in Nigeria:
- Gunmen Abduct Children, Staff From Catholic School in Nigeria
- Gunmen Abduct 25 Girls From School in Nigeria
- Over 50 Christians Slaughtered in Nigeria on Palm Sunday
- What Happened to #BringBackOurGirls?

Everything, everywhere, all at once.
That would make a great movie title
what about chicago seattle la etc etc
I’m with Ripley on those.
Nuke them from orbit, just to be sure.
You can neither co-exist nor negotiate with radical Islam. It must be destroyed completely.
I offer a respectful disagreement. There is no such thing as “radical” Islam. There is only the Islam as outlined in the Koran, which these Muslims were faithful carrying out as they murdered Christians. Muslims far nearer to you will feel no less hesitation to kill than a Christian will to turn the other cheek. Therein lies the central struggle of the last 1,500 years.
Not just Christians but Jews and Hindus as well.
To the Islamist, if you’re not Muslim you just an animal to be enslaved or slaughtered.
No just islam
btw.. a laura davison on bloomberg is saying that trump is basically lying about what is actually happening to christians in that god forsaken place
Baghdad Laura??
the world hates america we must stop subsidizing them:
A UK teacher said he was reported to government counter-terrorism investigators and forced to resign just for showing high school senior-age students videos of President Trump.
The politics teacher at Henley College in Oxfordshire, northwest of London, told the Telegraph he was accused of causing “emotional harm” to the students, who were all 17 or 18 years old — with child protective services suggesting he could be guilty of a “hate crime.”
“They likened me to a terrorist. It was completely jarring,” the teacher, who asked for his name not to be used, told the paper.

Someone tell me why Nigeria won’t kill their own terrorists but allows the US to do it?? Seriously I don’t care how many muslim facists we kill but why do we have to spend our blood and treasure doing the heavy lifting?
Nigeria has a pittance for a military and only a glorified version of a police force to cover a huge country.
Thanks. They should fix that. The problem with our bombing is we won’t sustain it and it will probably lead to additional recruits for them. Also the expense.
for the same reason the left wont jail criminals in their communities
Happy Kwanzaa everybody! Especially to Milhouse, whose ancestors’ master named them for the gristmill in which they were enslaved.
Do you really need to be an ass this morning?
Stop being racist.
Why should this morning be different from any other morning?
Because Big Rosie is celebrating her Kwanzaa holiday.
Well, Trump loves being compared with George Washington, who also launched an attack on Christmas (though most of the fighting was on Boxing Day).
It was probably more like:
“Like to kill Christians? Ho, ho, ho!
I’ll be comin’ down your chimney tonight!”
I’ll bet that Candace Owens, Matt Gaetz, Steve Bannon, and Tucker Carlson have nothing to say..
