Trump attacked South African President with video and false claims of anti-white racism | Trump Administration

Donald Trump attacked the South African President Cyril Ramaphosa by playing a video from which he mistakenly demonstrated that genocide against white people was committed under “the opposite of apartheid”.

Hectoring -Stunt on Wednesday has set up the tense Oval Office encounter since Trump's bullying by Volodymyr Zelenskyy in February. But Ramaphosa – who said before that he came to Washington to reset the relationship between the two countries, refused to take the bait and suggested that they “talk about it very calmly”.

Trump has long claimed that Africans, a minority that mainly came from Dutch colonists, who ruled in her decades of racist apartheid South Africa. South Africa rejects the claim. The mudratas are high in the country and the overwhelming majority of the victims are black.

What started as a social meeting in the White House, including carefree joke about Golf, took a sudden turn when Ramaphosa Trump said that there was no genocide against Africans.

Trump said: “We have thousands of stories that they talked about it”, then he ordered his employees: “Turn the light off and just draw it on.”

Ramaphosa sat next to Trump in front of the fireplace and turned a smile and looked at a large television screen when Trump's billionaire Elon Elon Musk, JD Vance, Defense Minister Pete Hegseth and diplomats and journalists from both countries.

The video contained the film material of the former South African President Jacob Zuma and the opposition politician Julius Malema, which sang a fight from the apartheid era called “Kill the Boer”, which means Bauer or Africans, as the supporters danced.

Ramaphosa pressed quietly but firmly and pointed out that the views expressed in the video are not a government policy.

There was also film material, from which Trump claimed, the graves of more than a thousand white farmers, which were marked by white crosses. Ramaphosa, who mostly sitting expressively and occasionally torn his neck to look, said that he had never seen it and wants to find out what the place was.

Trump then produced a number of newspaper articles, of which he said they came from the past few days and reported on murders in South Africa. He read some headlines and commented: “Death, death, death, terrible death.”

Ramaphosa admitted that there is crimes in South Africa and said that the majority of the victims were black. Trump cut it off and said: “The farmers are not black.”

The conspiracy theory of a white genocide has long been a staple for racist right -wing extremists and in recent years has been reinforced by Tucker Carlson from Musk and Rightwing Media.

Trump returned to the topic during the television meeting on Wednesday. He said: “Now I will say apartheid: terrible. That was the greatest threat. That was reported all the time. This is a kind of the opposite of apartheid.

“What happens now is never reported. Nobody knows about it. Everything we know is that we are flooded with people with white farmers from South Africa, and it's a big problem.”

He added: “You are white farmers and you flee from South Africa, and it's a very sad thing. But I hope we can have an explanation for it because I know that you don't want it.”

But Ramaphosa kept an even tone and observed: “We were taught by Nelson Mandela that people always have to sit at the table and talk about it when there are problems. And that is exactly what we would like to talk about.”

The meeting found around 50 Africans in the USA days to take over Trump's “refuge”. Trump made the offer, although the United States had stopped the arrivals of asylum seekers from the most world when it reflects immigration.

Relations between the countries have been the lowest since the end of apartheid in 1994. The United States has accused the case of South Africa in Gaza.

However, the biggest bone bone was a South African Landexpropriator Act, which was signed in January, which aims to remedy the historical inequalities of the regional min elality. Ramaphosa contested that the law on the arbitrary confiscation of land is used in white property, which insists that all South Africans are protected by the constitution.

But Trump wrongly claimed: “They allow them to take land – and if they take the country, they kill the white farmers, and when they kill the white farmers, nothing happens to them. …

“They take away the country from them and these people are executed in many cases. They are executed and they are accidentally white.”

Ramaphosa arrived in the White House with the Agriculture Minister John Steenhuisen, the White House, two of the best golfers of South Africa, Ernie Els and the Revest Govoses, and the richest person in the country, Johann Rupert, to promote the golf -fluent president. All weighed during the Oval Office meeting and rails from Trump.

Rupert said South Africa needed technological help to stop the deaths in the country, which he not only provided by white farmers, but from the whole board. “We have too many deaths … It's not just white farmers, it is all the line and we need technological help. We need Starlink on every small police station. We need drones,” said Rupert.

South Africa is reported to offer Musk born in the country to operate its Starlink satellite -internet network in the country. The head of Tesla and SpaceX has accused Pretoria of the “open racist” laws of referring to the Schwarz-Epowerment directive after apartheid, which is considered the hurdle for the licensing of Starlink.

South Africa is one of the most frequent companies in the world. Whites make up 7% of the country's population, but have at least half of the country of South Africa. In almost every measure, they are also better off economically.
