'Deranged behavior': Internet dubs Trump 'mentally unstable' after military threat to ally

Donald Trump's threat to send troops to attack people on allied land raised some red flags this weekend.

Trump on Saturday took to Truth Social to threaten Nigeria, which is known as a strategic partner for the U.S.

"If the Nigerian Government continues to allow the killing of Christians, the U.S.A. will immediately stop all aid and assistance to Nigeria, and may very well go into that now disgraced country, 'guns-a-blazing,' to completely wipe out the Islamic Terrorists who are committing these horrible atrocities," Trump said on Truth Social Saturday. "I am hereby instructing our Department of War to prepare for possible action. If we attack, it will be fast, vicious, and sweet, just like the terrorist thugs attack our CHERISHED Christians! WARNING: THE NIGERIAN GOVERNMENT BETTER MOVE FAST!"

The internet was quick to respond to the president's claim about the potential Nigerian military strike.

Ex-prosecutor Ron Filipkowski said, "At some point we might have to consider the fact that he might be mentally unstable."

Independent journalist Aaron Rupar said, "Trump posts crazy stuff like this at times where he feels like he’s not getting enough attention and wants people to start talking about him again."

Rupar then added, "It’s deranged, narcissistic behavior."

Jeff Timmer, a conservative analyst who opposes Trump, also chimed in, "In the old days, when in moods like this, he’d just lurk in dressing rooms at Bergdorf’s or head over to Epstein’s place."

"U.S. Capitol, Greenland, Los Angeles, Iran, Canada, democracy, Washington DC, Portland, narco-boats, Chicago, pleasure fishing boats, the Constitution, Venezuela, the rule of law, Nigeria. All the same to the lawless, corrupt, chickens---, moron in the WH," Timmer wrote on social media.

Professor Timothy Snyder added, "Is it just me or do these proclamations sound more and more like the work of Dement AI?"
