WASHINGTON — What started as a friendly first meeting between President Donald Trump and South African President Cyril Ramaphosa quickly devolved after a reporter asked Trump about the U.S. decision to admit white South Africans as refugees. Trump baselessly claimed that there was a genocide against white people in South Africa, which Ramaphosa and other South Africans have vigorously denied.

Wednesday’s heated meeting marks the latest in a string of unusually tense Oval Office meetings with foreign leaders. It comes amid heightened tensions between the U.S. and South Africa over claims by Trump and Elon Musk about the country's racial equity laws, which prompted the U.S. to recently admit white South African refugees — while barring refugees from other countries.

Musk, who was born in South Africa, has gone further, repeatedly claiming there is a genocide against white people in the country — comments that Trump eventually began echoing. After reporters asked about his genocide claims, Trump paused to play a montage of clips that he argued backed up his claims on a television in the room.

Ramaphosa responded to the montage, which included videos of people talking about "cutting the throat" and shooting white people, saying that the comments in the videos are "not government policy." Later, South Africa's minister of agriculture said that multiple people included in the montage were part of minority parties that are not in the country's ruling coalition. "We have a multiparty democracy in South Africa that allows people to express themselves," he said.

2. Whep! Looks like China is going to get stronger

He's eroding any relations we can develop with African nations. They'll turn to China who will welcome the opportunity to solidify current ties.

3. Djt turning reality upside down.

The White Afrikaners are being persecuted by the Black Nazis for no reason at all.

4. Trump has heard ONE SIDE and the person indoctrinating Trump payed millions to Trump which makes Trump suck it in.

This is the Musk side of the story.

This is just like the M S 1 3 photoshopped onto the original photo.

Trump is not a critical thinker; he is not an independent thinker.

He can be sold a bill of goods if it comes with a cash advance.
