Trump makes South African president squirm by playing 'white genocide' video montage during astonishing Oval Office moment
@Source: dailymail.co.uk
President Donald Trump put on a stunning shaming in the Oval Office Wednesday, showing clips to South African President Cyril Ramaphosa that purported to show evidence of a 'white genocide' in his country. Ramaphosa came to the White House Wednesday hoping to improve South Africa's relationship with the Trump administration. Trump had previously canceled aid to the country, expelled the South African ambassador and offered refuge to white minority Afrikaners. Trump has claimed that there's a race-based 'genocide' unfolding in the African nation, with South African-born DOGE leader Elon Musk agreeing. Musk stood amongst the reporters in the Oval Office when the dramatic showdown went down. Ramaphosa came Wednesday to soothe things - telling Trump at the top of their remarks that he brought him a golf book and had worked on his golf game. He hadn champion golfers Ernie Els and Retief Goosen and luxury goods tycoon Johann Rupert tag along. In turn, Trump humiliated him - asking aides to dim the lights as he played a supercut of speeches from EFF leader Julius Malema, whose trademark song at rallies is 'Shoot the Boer, Shoot the farmer.' Trump then pulled out a pile of news clippings including a story from the Daily Mail about why white South Africans are fleeing violence and 'racist' laws. Malema's rally song was popularized during the anti-apartheid struggle but Afrikaner lobby groups have amounted it to hate speech and tried to get it banned. 'That is not government policy. We have a multi-party democracy in South Africa that allows people to express themselves,' Ramaphosa tried to explain. Trump asked later: 'Why would you not arrest this man? That man said "kill the white farmers, kill the white farmers" and then he danced.' In another clip, Trump alleged that he was showing footage of mass graves of white farmers. Ramaphosa was aghast, admitting that he didn't know where that was. Ramaphosa pushed back and said that violence in his country impacted people of all races - and actually affected black South Africans more. Increasing the dramatic scene was Trump's decision to periodically tear into NBC News' Peter Alexander. Alexander had initially asked Trump why the U.S. was welcoming white South Africans but not Afghan and Venezuelan refugees. 'Well, this is a group, NBC, that is truly fake news,' Trump replied. Trump really lost it on the veteran journalist when he asked about the Qatari plane being given to the Department of Defense directly after Trump rolled the video clips showing 'white genocide' in South Africa.
