00:00And actually, what's interesting is Donald Trump has got involved in this, Michael.
00:04You know, President Donald Trump is saying that they are persecuting Christians in Nigeria,
00:10and this has become a big talking point.
00:13Donald Trump feels a kinship to people who look like him or have similar backgrounds.
00:21So we know, for instance, with the white South Africans who he's repatriated or patriated to the states.
00:27He's allowing them to come in because he feels that they've been persecuted.
00:32In this case, in Nigeria, you know, there are accusations, rumors that maybe Christians are also being persecuted.
00:40The government there has said, no, it's sometimes Muslims, it's sometimes Christians.
00:45It's the terrorist organizations, the kidnappers are indiscriminate.
00:48They don't have, you know, a preference one way or the other.
00:51And Donald Trump can be attracted by a news story.
00:58The rumor is that he saw something on Fox News, a report about Christians being attacked,
01:05and that is what sort of spurred this on.
01:07And then you have celebrities, Nicki Minaj, who's getting involved as well.
01:11So Donald Trump is somebody who is not necessarily, again, strategic in his foreign policy.
01:16He can be very much attracted and swayed by whatever the flavor of the day is.
