U.S. President Donald Trump’s statements regarding Nigeria have drawn criticism from American analyst Lawrence Freeman.
In an interview on Trust TV from 6:33, Freeman addressed Trump’s framing of the situation in Nigeria, particularly claims of persecution against Christians. He explained that these statements fail to consider the broader realities on the ground and reflect a selective interpretation of events that aligns with the expectations of Trump’s political base.
Freeman argued that Trump’s approach emphasizes defending the Christian movement while overlooking the suffering of other groups in Nigeria. This selective framing, he said, distorts the understanding of the situation and promotes a narrow, politically motivated narrative.
“He doesn’t actually understand Christianity. He and many of the evangelical Christians don’t believe in Christianity. They certainly don’t treat people the way Jesus would have treated them. And therefore some of the statements that Trump has made—he says we have to defend the great Christian movement and we have to stop the Christians from dying in Nigeria. He doesn’t say we have to stop all people from dying in Nigeria or we have to stop the Christians and the Muslims from dying,” Freeman said. View, More,
