"...I have great news for President Trump!..."

"...Trump’s concern for Nigerians is welcome, but here’s the awkwardness: Trump’s aid cuts are killing far more Nigerian Christians than Islamic terrorists are...."

"...So if Trump wants to save the lives of Nigerian Christians, the good news is that he doesn’t need to spend billions of dollars on charging (as he put it) “into that now disgraced country, ‘guns-a-blazing.’”..."

"...But Maher himself doesn’t seem to know what’s going on in Nigeria...."

"...But to call the situation a genocide is to mock the victims of actual genocides...."

"...Right-wing claims of tens of thousands of deaths of Christians appear far off the mark...."

"...It’s also not clear whether Muslims or Christians are suffering more casualties...."

"...Another reason to be skeptical of claims of a genocide against Christians in Nigeria is that many top Nigerian officials are Christian, and the first lady is not only a Christian but also a pastor...."

"...If Trump cares about atrocities in Africa, he should call up his friends and business partners in the United Arab Emirates and ask that country to stop financing the Rapid Support Forces militia responsible for mass murder and mass rape in Sudan...."

"...There’s something else that I find offensive about the Trump/Hegseth bombast about Nigeria: If you care about religious repression of only your sect, you don’t really care about religious repression...."

"...But chest-beating about a nonexistent Christian genocide strikes me as puerile and performative...."

"...None seems likely to accomplish much except waste money — just as Trump’s forgotten campaign against Yemen in the spring squandered $1 billion in the first month alone and achieved nothing obvious...."

"...Trump might also reflect that while jihadists have been unable to kill tens of thousands of Nigerian Christians, his own administration appears to be doing just that...."

"...So if Trump cares about Christians or anyone else in Nigeria, all he needs to do is restore aid and let babies live...."
