Trump Forces South African President To Watch Video Of Country’s Leaders Calling For Genocide

President Donald Trump forced the President of the Republic of South Africa to watch videos of the country’s leaders calling for the genocide of white farmers during a meeting in the Oval Office on Wednesday. 

South African president Cyril Ramaphosa visited Trump for a bilateral meeting as well as a private lunch. In the middle of their public conversation, Trump ordered his staff to dim the lights and play videos of “genocide in South Africa” for attendees of the meeting.

The video montage showed different clips of political leaders from the minority party in South Africa calling for killing the Boers — a term that means “farmers” and refers to white South Africans — and supporters chanting along. Another clip showed what Trump said were a thousand burial sites of deceased white farmers in South Africa and their families lining up to pay their respects. For most of the footage, Ramaphosa faced forward or glanced at Trump instead of looking at the screen, which was to his right.

“Burial sites. Right here. Burial sites. Over a thousand white farmers and those cars are lined up to pay love on a Sunday morning. Each one of those white things you see is a cross. And there is approximately a thousand of them. They are all white farmers, the family of white farmers. And those cars aren’t driving. They are stopped there to pay respects to their family member who was killed,” Trump said.

Ramaphosa turned to watch the video.

“And it’s a terrible sight, I have never seen anything like it,” Trump said.

Ramaphosa then asked the president to find out where the last video he showed took place because he had never seen the footage before.

“South Africa,” Trump asserted.

“I need to find out,” Ramaphosa said of the location of the video.

As the duo started taking questions about the videos shown in the Oval Office, Trump then got into a back-and-forth with Ramaphosa. (RELATED: ‘Death, Death, Horrible Death’ — Trump Tees Off On Reporter Pivoting From Genocide Of White South Africans)

“What you saw, the speeches that were being made … one, that’s not government policy. We have a multiparty democracy in South Africa that allows people to express themselves, political parties to various policies. In many cases, or in some cases, those policies don’t go along with government policy. Our government policy is completely, completely against what [the leaders were] saying, even in the parliament — a minority party, which is allowed to exist in terms of our constitution,” Ramaphosa began.

“But you do allow them to take land,” the president interjected.

“No, nobody can take land,” Ramaphosa quickly jumped in.

“When they take the land, they kill the white farmer, and when they do, nothing happens to them. Nothing happens to them,” Trump countered, asking the South African president, “How do you explain that?”
