But, President Trump had them postponed by one day because it would be more poetic. Politico reported: Trump told POLITICO that the strike was originally to take place on Wednesday but the president ordered it delayed one day – for symbolic reasons. “They were going to do it earlier,” Trump said. “And I said, ‘nope, let’s give a Christmas present.’ … They didn’t think that was coming, but we hit them hard. Every camp got decimated.” President Trump has promised that even more terrorists will be hit if the Christian genocide in Nigeria continues. The Hill has more: President Trump on Friday called the U.S. strikes in Nigeria a “Christmas present” for ISIS militants in Nigeria, citing violence against Christians in the African country’s northwest region. “I said yesterday, ‘Hit them on Christmas Day. It will be a Christmas present.’ We hit ISIS, who are terrible. They are butchers. We really hit them hard in different locations. They really got hit hard yesterday. They got a very bad Christmas present,” Trump told John Catsimatidis on WABC. The president said he “told Nigeria, and I told the people around Nigeria, that if you do it, you’re going to get hit.” U.S. Africa Command (Africom) announced on Thursday “multiple ISIS terrorists” were killed by the strikes, launched in coordination with Nigerian authorities, in the West African nation. “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,” Trump wrote in a Truth Social on Thursday. “The Department of War executed numerous perfect strikes, as only the United States is capable of doing.” God Bless President Trump. What a legend!
