For a moment, it seemed as if the President of South Africa avoided traps.
In the weeks before the Ciril Ramaphaosa White House visit, Maga World promoted unjustified claims about the hidden “White Genocide” in the country. Donald Trump himself called it “genocide” because his administration officials greeted 59 white South African residents as “refugees” at the airport last Monday
So, Ramaphosa came to prepare. He brought with him two favorite presidential golf players and a giant book about golf. His introductory remarks were diplomatic travel forces, and the meeting took place to avoid condemned Volodymyr Zelensky’s fate in February.
The voice then caused chaos from the end of the room.
“What do you need to believe that there is no white genocide in South Africa?” The reporter with an accent of South Africa exclaimed.
What followed was probably one of the most terrible demonstrations of the white white memory.
Short, armed with tabloid news articles and video editing, diverting the final of the Internet and Conspiracy theory, who likes uncle, during an awkward Thanksgiving dinner, began with a winding explanation of the current political situation in South Africa.

“We have thousands of stories that tell you about it. We have documentary films, we have news,” said Trump, talking about our colleague from South Africa.
“Disconnect the light down,” he added when the eyes of the South African delegation expanded from horror.
You can go off the hard uncle when he tries to force you to watch Youtube videos of what Really Made on September 11th. It is harder when the hard uncle is the most powerful person on the planet and the world’s press is filming.
The lights of the Oval Office actually dimmed, and Ramaphaosa was forced to watch many non -context clips, which seemed together to glue the Trump administration employee to show the “true” truth about what happened in his own country.
The video, as promised, was not documentary. Instead, the clips were mainly consisted of opposition and extremist political figures, who were brought to arson calls for killing Africaners.
In another dimension, Joe Biden, a second -length president, is sitting in Pretoria forced to watch Kathy Griffin’s standing hours.
President Donald Trump meets
Ramaphosa kept her cool, even if it looked excited. He tried to intervene, but was discouraged by the intervening short, which also occasionally added comments.
“It’s very bad now. It is the burial ground here. The burial grounds with more than 1,000 white farmers,” he said. The South African contingent seemed astonished, which makes sense because instead of former serious farmers in the killed farmers, mounds with crosses were actually part of the protest to stop violence.
As the video approached, the helper handed a bunch of printed articles from tabloid websites.
“Look, these are articles in the last few days,” he said, urinating through them.
“People’s death, death, death, death, terrible, death,” he continued.
“This family was destroyed.”
Trump has the most powerful intelligence agencies in the world, led by its leadership, and could certainly have prepared a detailed and condemning report on the alleged white genocide in South Africa and presented it to the world press.
Instead, the prints turned out to be more like Facebook channel, which is at risk of completing the FBI observation list.
The meeting continued from the rails when Trump chose a non-existent genocide in a room full of South African-black and white-color-color told him that it was not a thing.
“It’s like apartheid’s opposite,” Trump said.
He even invited South African golf players Ramaphaosa’s opinions with himself, Ernie Els and Review Goosen, who remain diplomatically.
It is noteworthy that, despite all the chances, Ramaphaosa was able to save the meeting, reacting calmly to the most terrible claims made by Trump and his videos.
“In South Africa, we have a multi-party democracy that allows people to express themselves,” he said, explaining that none of the people in the video were members of his government. “The policy of our government is completely, completely before what he said.”
Explaining that there is no evidence that white people are specifically directed to South Africa, but that all races are the victims of violent home invasions, it would take a little longer.
South Africa Police data shows that 225 people were killed on South African farms since 2020. April By 2024 But about half of those victims were current or former workers living on farms that are usually black. About 50 were farmers who are usually white.
At the end of the 19th century, the Trump was made so many contradictory facts of South Africa delegation that it looked as if he almost began to question his prints. Either he, or he was bored, and wanted to return to another favorite activity: to call the press -incompetent idiots.
Ramaphosa played a smart game. It was not just golf diplomacy, though it really helped. He brought a qualified diplomatic team ready for the show. Among them was the country’s Minister of Agriculture John Steenhuisen, a white man and a member of the competitor party, who told Trump that South Africa had a rural crime problem, not the problem of white genocide. Ramaphosa has repeatedly appealed to Nelson Mandela and the story of South African racial peace from Apartheid.
At the end of the 19th century, the mood lightened. Ramaphosa even had a view to break the joke.
“I’m sorry I don’t have a plane for you,” he said when Trump was told about the media after being interviewed for his new Qatar’s jet.
If there was one saving grace from the blast, it was that South Africa’s largest agitator was kept worse in the room.
“Elon is from South Africa,” said Trump, talking about Elon Musk, who stood only at the presidential side in the Oval Office.
“I don’t want to get involved in Elon,” Trump said. “I don’t want to talk to him about it. I don’t think it’s honest to him.”
Ramaphosa laughed. Finally, what they could agree.
