Trump Confronts South Africa's Leader with False Claims of White Genocide

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.

"As an independent Institute tracking violence and violent crime in South Africa, if there was any evidence of either a genocide or targeted violence taking place against any group based on their ethnicity this, we would be amongst the first to raise (the) alarm and provide the evidence to the world."

"The stated reasons for [Trump's actions] are claims of victimisation, violence and hateful rhetoric against white people in South Africa along with legislation providing for the expropriation of land without compensation," read the letter from white South African religious leaders, which included among its four authors an Anglican priest.

"As white South Africans in active leadership within the Christian community, representing diverse political and theological perspectives, we unanimously reject these claims."

Trump's lies are like music to the Cult's big floppy ears.

Weird how Trump lies through his teeth at least half the time, and is called on those lies by a lot of the press not named Fox News, and still he doesn't lose followers. White power hate is strong in Trump and his family...

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

And using PBS and NPR as a source Corky is like me using Dailymail. Both of those are so far left as to not be believed.

And this mentally ill president expects the Pope to accept his invitation to visit the White House? One can only imagine that conversation. JV will be ------- Leo's leg, Drunken Pete will offer him a double bourbon, a clip of "The Passion of The Christ" will be viewed, after which Trump will complain about Jesus being treated unfairly by the Swiss Guard, and Leo will be offered various Trump-branded items to purchase...

South Africa has allowed crime to fester and proliferate against certain races and innocent people just as Democrat DAs in LA, Chicago,NYC and other urban areas allow crime.

The perps and people who perpetuate and participate in violent crime and felons illegally carrying firearms need incarcerated forever. Take them off the streets. But Democrats always want the criminal trash on the streets just as certain factions do in South Africa. Criminals need removed forever.

Link to BBC article:

From the article:

"There was an image clearly visible as Trump spoke and said: "Look, here's burial sites all over the place. These are all white farmers that are being buried."

But the image isn't from South Africa - it's actually from a report about women being killed in the Democratic Republic of Congo.

The French news agency (AFP) initially pointed out the image, and BBC Verify ran a search and confirmed it as being from a Reuters news agency clip filmed in the DR Congo city of Goma in February."

Looks like someone is lying.

"You think those white farmers are lying?"

Who cares?
Why is it any of America's business?

Why can't you answer such a simple question?
Because you are a bitch.

Was Trumpy's lips moving? Then he was lying. He's The Lyin King!

It's always fun to watch a racist confront someone of color and to see how that person of color handles the racist.

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.

Dear poster.

You have already exceeded your Daily allowance of lies and disinformation.

Come back tomorrow for another debunking.

very interesting. It's almost as if somebody doesn't want you to see victim pictures.

It's not as if this hasn't been tried before.

Zimbabwe:
-dispossessed white farmers
-invited whites to leave country
-ran out of food
-begged the world for food
-begged the white farmers to come back

You forgot white legislative mischief.

Nobody is begging you for shtt.
In fact in face of being unwanted or needed you insist on sanctions and other mischief to make yourself relevant.

You're only fooling whites. We know you.

That has already been debunked. That photo is from a protest, not actual graves.
