Throwback Times has learned that Boko Haram and ISWAP terrorists has responded to Trump's announcement of US military plan to invade Nigeria and fish out terrorists. The new wave of online threats erupted from Islamic State–linked terrorists following U.S. President Donald Trump’s fiery warning to Nigeria. Members of the Islamic State’s West Africa Province (ISWAP) have mocked the American leader, claiming that any U.S. invasion of Nigeria would end in disaster.
According to a fresh report by SITE Intelligence Group, extremist channels across West Africa lit up over the weekend with defiant posts and memes daring Trump to “come with his army.” The messages, translated from Arabic, portray the U.S. as an overconfident superpower walking into a trap.
The uproar began when President Trump posted on Truth Social that Washington might take direct military action against Islamic terrorists in Nigeria.
“I am hereby instructing our Department of War to prepare for possible action,” Trump wrote. “If we attack, it will be fast, vicious, and sweet — just like the terrorists attack our cherished Christians. WARNING: The Nigerian government better move fast!”
He also declared that the U.S. would immediately halt aid and assistance to Nigeria if the killings of Christians persist.
The post spread rapidly, sparking both fear and fury online and it didn’t take long for extremist loyalists to respond.
Militants make caricature of America, Predict U.S. Collapse
SITE’s analysis shows that ISWAP exponents responded fast with ridicule and threats. One translated message read:
“The Roman mule Trump, may Allah destroy him, threatens war in West Africa. Come at us, O enemy of Allah — we will make you taste what your forefathers tasted in Iraq.”
Another post mocked America’s military campaigns abroad:
“If the Roman mule enters Nigeria, he will leave dragging his tail of defeat. The Islamic State is not confined to one city. The planes of the Romans have no place to bomb, their soldiers no clear objective, and they lack the faith and will of the mujahideen.”
These taunts, according to analysts, are part of ISWAP’s propaganda strategy — using Trump’s words to project strength and rally new foot terrorists.
Oil, Gold, and “Hidden Motive Accusations”
Beyond religious rhetoric, the extremist channels accused Washington of using faith as a smokescreen for greed.
“Trump is covetous of Nigeria’s oil and gold,” one post claimed, alleging that the “defense of Christians” is only a pretext for economic exploitation.
