Axios reports:
In a shocking moment during President Trump’s meeting with South African President Cyril Ramaphosa on Wednesday, Trump requested for videos to be displayed purporting to show evidence of violence against white people in the country. Trump, who cut all foreign assistance to South Africa, has embraced the false accusations of genocide against white South Africans as justification for granting them refugee status in the U.S.
A South African court in February dismissed claims of a “white genocide” as not real. In a stunning scene reminiscent of the Oval Office showdown with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky, Trump paged through articles from the “last few days” while repeating, “death, death, death.” The video played in the Oval Office featured the voice of Julius Malema, a firebrand politician and leader of the Economic Freedom Fighters, who was ejected from Parliament.
The New York Times reports:
Among the clips that Trump played appeared to be a rally of a minor political party. There is no evidence Trump has shown of a supposed genocide of white farmers. But he continues to insist it’s happening. Ramaphosa tried to give Trump an education on criminality in his country, speaking slowly and in a friendly voice to explain to him the reality on the ground. Trump would have none of it, using a stern voice and evocative language about heads being chopped off.
The Trump team clearly came to the meeting prepared to play videos backing up their false claim that there are mass killings against white South Africans. Ramaphosa began by turning to the video and smiling, visibly surprised. “I’d like to know where that is, because this I’ve never seen,” Ramaphosa says, suggesting without directly saying it that Trump is being misled and this video is from somewhere other than South Africa.
Yet another shitshow.

Voldemort is currently lurking behind an Oval Office sofa with a microphone to personally record the president of South Africa. The room is crowded with press, but he wants his own recording for surely nefarious reasons.
