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 yesterday.
South African President Cyril Ramaphosa visited Trump for a bilateral meeting as well as a private lunch.
The South African President had no idea what was on the menu.
In the middle of their public conversation, Trump ordered his staff to dim the lights, bring in a big TV screen, and play videos of “genocide in South Africa” for attendees of the meeting.
The shock was felt not only in the Oval Office among the South African guests but also around the world.
The phrase "You can't handle the Truth" came to mind.
The so-called "Legacy Media" is still trying to figure out how to be for racism and against racism.
Here's what happened at lunch yesterday in the Oval Office.
Sometimes the Truth stings.
Be informed, not misled.
A quick look back at last week
Beth Brelje wrote for the Federalist, "Democrats continue to mindlessly oppose everything President Donald Trump does, even policies they have rabidly supported for years."
"Normally extreme supporters of open borders and immigration without limitation, Democrats suddenly oppose Trump’s executive order giving Afrikaners refugee status," she said.
She continued, "Their bigoted objection? The color of the refugees’ skin. Afrikaners, a persecuted minority ethnic group, are white South Africans with Dutch ancestry and an old European culture."
The government of South Africa has made it legal to take Afrikaners’ farmland without compensation. Trump’s order offers “Afrikaners in South Africa who are victims of unjust racial discrimination” refugee resettlement in the United States.
But their suffering can never compare, apparently, to the millions of other people with darker skin who are persecuted around the globe. Democrats believe they all should be given unfettered entrance into the U.S.
“Do you think Afrikaner farmers are the most persecuted group in the world?” Sen. Tim Kaine, R-Va., asked Secretary of State Marco Rubio last Tuesday, during a Foreign Relations Committee hearing.
“I’m not the one arguing that. Apparently, you are, because you don’t like the fact that they are white,” Rubio said, adding that “the United States has a right to pick and choose who they allow in” and immigration policy should be in the national interest of the United States."
Last week, President Trump and his leadership team welcomed 59 Afrikaner refugees.
The Democrats exploded with anger.
They are taking the typical relativistic, "progressive" position: They are both "for" and "against" racism.
Yesterday
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 Daily Caller says, "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.
Trump flipped through a thick stack of news articles about white farmers being killed.
“Death, death, death,” he said.
He slammed South Africa for a law signed by the president in 2023 enabling the government to “seize ethnic-minority Afrikaners’ agricultural property without compensation.”
“You’re taking people’s land away from them, and those people in many cases are being executed … how do you explain that?” Trump asked
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.
Ramaphosa then began a long overview of their government policies: "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", he told Trump.
“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?”
How do you explain that?
The political left has mental problems. They are double-minded. They believe their end is so noble that it justifies lying to the public to achieve that end.
The religious, or "Christian" Left has spiritual problems. They, too, are double-minded. They bend and twist Scripture to justify their social justice agenda.
When the 59 white Afrikaner refugees arrived in the U.S. last week, Episcopal Migration Ministries, which has been given taxpayer money to resettle refugees, refused to serve the Afrikaners. The organization cited the church’s “steadfast commitment to racial justice and reconciliation” in a statement. “Instead, the Episcopal Church will formally end all federal resettlement work when its contract expires at the end of this fiscal year, on Sept. 30,” according to Episcopal News Service. Perhaps the church’s aim to “inspire a more compassionate world” has a no-whites-allowed clause.
Takeaway
His party later issued a statement in which it declared: “Kill the Boer, Kill the Farmer! Victory is Certain!”
Ramaphosa and his delegation tried to minimize the role of Malema and the EFF in South African politics, describing them to Trump as a small and marginal opposition party, but the EFF won nearly 10% of the vote in the most recent general elections, making it the fourth-biggest party, right behind the similarly radical Umkhonto we Sizwe (MK) party at nearly 15%. Both parties call for seizing land from white farmers.
