Idiot-In-Chief.REPORTER: Genocide is a very strong word. Have you made up your mind if you believe that genocide is occurring? If you have made up your mind, why invite President Ramaphosa here today?

TRUMP: Well, I haven't made up my mind. I hate to see it. pic.twitter.com/BXkNQKN45V

REPORTER: What will it take for you to be convinced there is no white genocide in South Africa?
— Aaron Rupar (@atrupar) May 21, 2025
RAMAPHOSA: I can take that. It will take President Trump listening to the voices of South Africans
TRUMP *scowling*: We have thousands of stories talking about it. Turn the lights… pic.twitter.com/BZ4j2cq73f
And, of course, in "white genocide."Trump: These are burial sites, over 1000 of white farmers.. both sides of the road, you have crosses.

Ramaphosa: I would like to know where that is pic.twitter.com/Z5jokUdriC
Also, too, as well:The Witkruis Monument, is a private memorial, not a burial site as Trump claims.

Rather ordinary rural crime, IOW.[Daniel] Dale [on CNN*] jumped in, explaining, "The last nine months of 2024 in South Africa: 19,696 murders. How many of them occurred on farms? 36.""36 about 0.2 percent," he re-emphasized. "That includes employees like security staff, farm workers. How many of them were actual farmers? Seven out of more than 19,000 and it's not even clear that those are all white farmers. Contrary to what the president said, many farmers in South Africa are Black.""Even the white ones who have been victims of crime, it's not clear, have been targeted for racial reasons," he elaborated. "Experts and white farmers themselves in South Africa have repeatedly told media outlets and think tanks that they feel they are often targeted for robbery and even attacks because they are geographically isolated and therefore vulnerable."
Too stupid to realize Ramaphosa just pantsed him on the world stage.RAMAPHOSA: I am sorry I don't have a plane to give you

TRUMP: I wish you did. I'd take it. If your country offered the US Air Force a plane, I would take it
