Lewzer ambushes S African leader

Wednesday, May 21, 2025

A meeting meant to soothe tensions between the US and South Africa instead spiralled as President Donald Trump put his counterpart on the defensive with claims that white farmers in his nation were "persecuted". On Wednesday, a week after the US granted asylum to nearly 60 Afrikaners - a move that rankled South Africa - President Cyril Ramaphosa visited the White House to reset the countries' relations. Instead, Trump surprised Ramaphosa during a live news conference with widely discredited claims of a "white genocide" in South Africa.

He played a video showing a protest exhibit of thousands of crosses lining a road - claiming they were burial sites for murdered white farmers. Trump said he did not know where in South Africa it was filmed and the footage has not been verified by the BBC.

This was another blunder by the Blotard. Trumpf did nothing to positively influence South Africa which has been deepening military and economic ties with China. Moreover, because of Trumpf the USIC may not be taking advantage of the network South African intelligence has on the Dark Continent.

... widely discredited claims of a "white genocide" in South Africa. ...

Why does Pres Trump so often lower himself to using known lies to back up his comments?

It's makes him feel smarter.

He's surrounded by yes men who will always agree with his every statement.

Oh, I think they'll keep coming. And keep choosing to side with the BRICS over Trump. Eventually, Trump will side with the BRICS too. He would do it now if Republicans would let him.

#7: Yup, and the Dotard said that idiotic remark while addressing US military personnel.Trumpf snubbing President Cyril Ramaphosa was a bad move for another reason: South Africa is one of the BRICS countries.
