Well, well, well....Dozy Don lying AGAIN. Quelle surprise.

Trump told Ramaphosa that the footage showed "burial sites" of "over 1,000" white farmers in South Africa. A New York Times analysis found that the footage instead showed a memorial procession on Sept. 5, 2020, near Newcastle, South Africa.

I bet those South African persecutors were eating cats & dogs too.

FACT CHECKING THE BULLSHITFEST


The Back Story to Trump’s Refugee Plan


  • In August 2018, Fox News host Tucker Carlson, commented that the South African government had disproportionately targeted white farmers during its ongoing expropriation efforts due to anti-white racism. He also criticised political "elites", who are purportedly concerned about racism, but "paying no attention" to the "racist government of South Africa".


  • Following Carlson's piece, Trump instructed the then SoS Mike Pompeo to study farm attacks tweeting: "South African Government is now seizing land from white farmers".

  • Trump's tweet denounced as "misinformed" by the South African government they reported to the SA Embassy in the US that there was "no evidence that murders on farms specifically target white people or are politically motivated" and that "some journalists and lobby groups have simplified complex land disputes to serve their own ends".


  • “AfriForum took credit for Carlson and Trump's statements, stating that it believed that its campaign to influence American politics had succeeded” (PBS)

“Genocide” of White farmers (which is a racially/discriminatory motivated phenomenon) has been debunked by SA Government statistics and research into farm attacks

  • “The claim of a white genocide in South Africa has been promoted by right-wing groups in South Africa and the United States and is a frequent talking point among white nationalists. “ (PBS)

  • There are no reliable figures that suggest that white farmers are at greater risk of being killed than the average South African. Some Black South Africans have sought to seize privately owned land which they have made claims to; however, South African police have stopped such attempts at appropriating land.” (Wiki)

  • Farm attacks have increased as part of overall violent crime in SA but the stats only reflect farmers who have revenue of $55,396 a year, which excludes many small-scale farmers, the majority of them Black. (Wiki)

  • Overall, the white minority — just 7% of the population is white — still owns the vast majority of the land in South Africa, which the World Bank has called “the most unequal country in the world. (PBS)

https://www.pbs.org/newshour/world/...but-white-afrikaner-farmers-reject-that-claim

TL;DR

Trump’s claims of ‘genocide’ in SA are, like a lot of every other misinformed garbage he spews out, a poorly disguised effort in his continuing to demonise racial minorities in the US to support his immigration policies.

Not exactly. The U.S. didn't get where it is with 92% uneducated people.

Maybe we have to understand different cultures and their way of "behaving". If that's the "American way" to do politics and manage international relations, then maybe we have to just accept and embrace it.

(Sarcasm by the way)

Since when did Trump care about truth.

You couldn't make it up. And who does Trump think the white farmers stole the land from in the first place? Does he think the white farmers paid open market value to a willing seller? He is so unbelievably thick.

I really hope there is some backlash on this, I know we wont do it, but I would love Charles to whip out an ipad during the state visit and start playing clip after clip after clip of school children being murdered in US schools and ask Mr Tangerine Man what he's going to do about it.

Im sure Led by Donkeys will have something up their sleeve, but whether it would be seen by Trump is another matter....

Great journalism by the BBC there. It is so important to keep exposing the lies coming out of The White House.

We can see for ourselves how easily Trump is to manipulate because he will believe what he wants to believe and do no fact-checking for himself.

Here, thanks to the BBC, we can follow the audit trail of his lies. However, what powers is he granting to those oligarchs who also tell him what he wants to hear, powers that they are using for their own nefarious gains?
