Former speechwriter to President George W. Bush, David Frum, has criticized US President Donald Trump's threat of military action against Nigeria following allegations of Christian genocide in the West African country.
Trump had recently designated Nigeria as a country of particular concern, claiming ongoing violence against Christians and the Federal Government's inability to protect the religious people.
In response, the Nigerian government strongly refuted claims of any religious persecution in the country.
On Saturday, Trump further escalated the situation by threatening potential military action against Nigeria if quick measures are not taken.
However, Frum was not pleased with Trump's threat, describing the US leader as a 'blowhard president.'
In a tweet on X on Sunday, Frum wrote: "Yesterday afternoon, Trump threatened to launch a military attack on the most populous country in sub-Saharan Africa.
"The fact that few express much upset at this bluster is a marker of how little respect this blowhard president commands at home or abroad.
"If any previous president issued a personal statement, "I'm considering massive military strikes in sub-Saharan Africa," there would be tumult - even panic. But with Trump, everybody shrugs, including his own supporters. "That's Trump. He says things. He's full of shit. Next?"

Welcome to the next 3+ years.
Trump so far has threatened the invasion and conquering of Greenland, threatened invading Mexico, threatened war with Venezuela, and now threatening war and invasion of Nigeria.
It's selective Christianity and selective freedom of religion.
Detainees in ICE facilities are denied Holy Communion by Catholic priests and other religious leaders are denied access to detainees.
If this administration cannot respect Christian religion at home then it's beyond hypocrisy to threaten a country on a different continent using religion as a false pretext.
They're Christian dominionists who want to bring their brand of Christo-fascism to any country that might have white Christians. And they only respect their brand of Christianity here in the States. If you're what they see as a 'bleeding heart liberal' Chistian who wants to treat undocumented immigrants as humans with dignity and respect, then you're not a 'real Christian' in their eyes.
Don't forget making Canada the 51st state.
So when do we believe him?
If he ever does what he says he's going to do. Otherwise, never.
Believe what he does, not what he says.
so you admit he's a liar
They not only admit it, they love it.
He is a politician. He lies just like any of them although some of his are more obvious. He also says some shit as a negotiating tool. I sometimes wonder if he doesn't talk shit sometimes just to see how many he can make explode too. I sure as hell don't believe he is planning to invade Nigeria. IMO anyone that gets their panties in a twist over it just like to have their panties in a twist.
Non substantive opinion.
No. First, he’s really not a politician. He happens to hold elected office, but he doesn’t know shit about the issues, the law, duty, how government functions, building coalitions, or anything else a politician should know.
Second, his lies are in a whole different universe compared to what any actual politician has ever even conceived of. Saying he is “just like any of them” is absurd. Unfortunately, all the people who work for him - and many who support him - are learning from their master.
Not a problem US Taxpayers should have to pay for
