In a moment that rivaled the Trump-Zelensky meeting, the South African leader Cyril Ramaphosa met at the White House with Trump who showed Ramaphosa a video and print outs to prove that White genocide is happening in South Africa. Ramaphosa pushed back on Trump's claims but expressed his willingness to have an in-depth conversation with Trump about the claims.

Dont believe the people actually going through it. You think those white farmers are lying?

Do I believe that white farmers whose families unfairly benefits from apartheid for generations now feel conditions have worsened for them in South Africa? Yes just like it probably really sucked for US slave owners after the Civil War.
Do I believe they are victims of Genocide? Not a chance.
Here are facts: South African police recorded 26,232 murders nationwide in 2024, of which 44 were linked to farming communities. Of those, eight of the victims were farmers.
Don't believe the SA police? How about the Afrikaner farmers' union? They have counted 1,363 white farmers murdered since 1990, or an average of 40 a year - far less than 1% of total murders.
Claims about SA seizing land from white farmers is also a lie. Three-quarters of privately-owned farmland is held by whites, who make up less than 8% of the population. 4% is owned by Black South Africans who make up 80% of the population.
That photo that Trump showed of body bags and claiming they were murdered white farmers...that was a lie. That photo wasn't even from South Africa. It was taken from video footage after a battle in the Democratic Republic of Congo between the countries military and Rwandan backed rebels.
