Sickening. Under scrutiny from human rights orgs for firing on a crowd of protesters, the Nigerian Army tweets Trump from yesterday telling US troops that any migrants throwing rocks should be handled as if they are armed with “a rifle” 1/2 pic.twitter.com/2udS9fgAhm

The trash that Trump says as part of his bigoted, race-baiting campaign in America has effects around the world. The Nigerian army just pointed to Trump’s statement about considering shooting migrants to justify their own shootings of peaceful protesters. https://t.co/okjlVWJlZp
