President Trump confronted South African president about murders and persecution of white people

[stevil]

There is no "White Genocide" in South Africa.

....and Trump's behavior in the White House today was shameful.

When faced with the choice to behave gracefully vs disgracefully, Trump will pick disgraceful every time. It keeps him as the focus of the news cycles. And that's all that really matters.

Of course most of his MAGA's will cheer on his disgraceful behaviour, they love triggering the left.

I can't believe the gall of S. Africa's Ramaphisa, to tell Trump to listen to his friends stories... As if there's some 'balance' involved, that makes the current situation somewhat justifiable or at least understandable. Just admit you're a failure as a leader, Mr. Ramaphisa, and a racist for not doing more to stop it.

What? He should have just sat there during Trump's false and racist presentation?

 

[Landon Caeli]

I thought it was ridiculous when I researched Ramaphisa's wikipedia site, and saw how only his many awards and successes are shown, as if no controversy or struggle has ever left a single stain on his life... I also noticed how there's no information on his upbringing - which I thought was a little unusual. Give me a break! This man is no king!

He should have been *humble* and taken consideration. Like a better person would.

Trump will never be humble, he's not that good of a person.

Ramaphisa acts like he's a Saint. That makes him more fraudulent of an individual.

I really don't care about him, but he was drawn into an ambush by Trump with this racist nonsense.

I don't care about Trump. Ramaphisa turns a blind eye to a serious concern by his people - because he's too busy with himself, his many awards, and his money.

The things occurring in South Africa are awful. I hope that it can change into a nation of peaceful coexistence.

From here: Trump’s evidence of South Africa ‘white genocide’ contains images from Democratic Republic of Congo

“These are all white farmers that are being buried,” said Trump, holding up a print-out of an article accompanied by a picture during the contentious Oval Office meeting with South African President Cyril Ramaphosa. The picture accompanying the article was in fact a screengrab of a video published by Reuters on 3 February and subsequently verified by the news agency’s fact check team, showing humanitarian workers lifting body bags in the Congolese city of Goma. The image was pulled from Reuters footage shot after deadly battles with Rwanda-backed M23 rebels.;

He lied.

'...footage that Trump claimed showed the graves of more than a thousand white farmers, marked by white crosses. The footage – taken at a highway connecting the small towns of Newcastle and Normandein in South Africa – in fact showed a memorial site, and not graves.'

He lied.

'The video prominently featured Julius Malema, a firebrand politician known for his radical rhetoric. He was seen in several clips wearing the red beret of his populist, Marxist-inspired Economic Freedom Fighters (EFF) party and chanting calls to “cut the throat of whiteness” as well as a controversial anti-apartheid song “Kill the Boer, kill the farmer”.

Trump falsely said he was a government official, insinuating his inflammatory slogans reflected an official policy against South Africa’s white minority.

He lied.

'Malema is an opposition politician who gained prominence advocating radical reforms including land redistribution and nationalising key economic sectors. The party only came fourth in last year’s elections, with 9.5% of the vote.'

He lied.

I'm absolutely certain that you know that he lies constantly. Why do you put up with it?

I never heard of this RSA president before this week, so I don't know if you are getting his name right because I don't know anything about him before he was used as a prop in Trump's lie filled racist tirade.

???what???
Do you think there is a literally full blown genocide going on at the moment
Not some people being murdered and government being ineffective doing something about it,

You're not doing right wing math.

In south africa, there are about 3.5 million black people and 1.1 million white people.

In right wing math, one white person's worth equals 5.000 black people. (See the ebola outbreaks of 2014)

There were 44 white farmers being killed in 2024. 44 times 5.000 equals 220.000. That's a fifth of the white population every year.

If that's not a genocide, what is?

Funny part is, that the account and the info Trump used as his "proof" that there's a genocide going on? Well if you look a bit more into it, you get flat earth conspiracies and a good amount of pure racist stuff. So sounds like exactly the kind of source I'd see Trump using.

Mischievously playful. Smugly roguish. A foil to the position with a touch of comedic hubris.

I’m experimenting with a new personality trait.

I think the most remedial of research is AGAIN required here to gain an accurate rather than presupposed take on this situation in another country.

The good thing about wikipedia is that if you have credible sources you can cite, you can edit the page and add any info you think is missing there. It is the principle of wikipedia - it is open to public.

But if you do not have any credible sources to cite, then your edits will be rejected.
