reading the comments, am i missing something? isn't there a genocide?
Trump said it so it can't be happening right?
"For every Trump quote there is an equal but opposite Trump quote" Trevor Noah.
Why would South Africa President even entertain Trump. That was foolish dealing with a FOOL.😮
More lies by Trump.
Trump is a disgrace to the office of the president of the United States
Debra, reminds me of Radio 702
Trump pensa que todo mundo é igual a ele …um país que mata por causa da cor da pele…ele pensa que os negros são iguais a eles.
Any of you brave souls in the comments who are white, feel free to travel alone in South Africa and let us know how that turns out for you.
7% owns over 50% of the land…..and wealth FROM that land?
They have no gripe whatsoever
Trump is such an idiot he cares more about white farmers beingkilled in another country.than he cares about whit capitol police officers being killed in the united states..the proof is he gave pardons to thise January 6 riotersbut he cares so much about the american peoplehes such a fraud and liar
The right deafens their ears whenever the stats comes up because it throws their garbage claims in the trash
Thatbwas a mas burial in Congo. Trump tride to play them again
Trump is stupid. Bought and sold his soul.
Lord help us this man is nuts!
“Highly edited video” I swear I’m in the upside down watching this news station and worst of all the comments buying all of it…. The identity politics have destroyed this world the comet can’t come soon enough
Can we all just agree that Trump is a very bad man?
There is a family here who’s granddad was killed for his land.
CBS cmon show the full vid! i dare you😂
Never heard trump or any of these clown aligned with him ever complain about Apartheid in South Africa!!!
Clown in the white house 😂😂😂
Leftwing media is the problem.
How is his brain😮?
Misconceptions and misinformation? In other words, willful lying.
These countries are not playing with him
Trump is putting out fake news everywhere put those people do will not play with him him will start something with all these countries and he will not be able to stop it the dumb he started
Bidon is sharp as a tac
So South Africans support a leader who advocates killing? Same with the Philippines, most Filipinos support their idol who's now in Hague.
Donald Trump has dementia he is losing his mind. There is no genocide in south Africa. There is no stage 9 cancer. No one was eating the dogs.
It’s scary that a president of United States is so ignorant of what’s really going on that he makes a blatant mistake like this for the world to see. He’s an embarrassment of blight on the American people.
Lies and more lies 😂.
The current administration is all based on “false narratives”.
CBS are lying.
Lying president with dementia and Trump is too stupid to be diplomatic and not an apartheid racist.
So none of you believe Whites are being prosecuted? How many of you know whites from south Africa?
I "googled" the phrase : "successful countries totally run by blacks"
NO RESULTS
Riddle me this batman, if there's a genocide in south africa against boers then why do they still own most of the land and country's wealth?
As a South Africa I say his claims are aimed at stoking his racist followers. The South African team had to sit through heavily edited, totally unsubstantiated video, some of it not even in South Africa, but they wisely refused to take the bait and focused on their trade agenda.
What South Afica did to deserve this? oh right, they are the ones that take Israel to the ICJ
fake news!
Lol please, they are not being persecuted, they are just sad they can't be overly racist
Watch Winston (A South African) from The China Show discuss the topic.

Well, it took a little time, but it eventually "dawned" on Trump (with a little prompting from his minders/carers/owners), that Elon's attempt to embarrass the South African president with pictures of fake rubbish in the "Ovulating Office", backfired miserably! Trump was so slow on the uptake, that he didn't pick up on the South African president’s backhander on "…not being able to offer (Trump) an aeroplane…"! And where was his attack dog, "VD Jance"? He totally missed the opportunity to show his sole contribution to the administration, critiquing visiting dignitaries on their fashion sense! In fairness, I think “VD” thought that Elon “had this one…”, but Elon was all, like “ah nah…you’re the attack dog, dude…!”. I can’t wait for Season two!
Useless human.
Trump thought he was going to embarrass the South African because he is Black, thinking he was smarter, but instead, made himself to look like a fool-AGAIN.
Are you supporting Genocide now CBS? Is there no limit to your deception?
According to Snopes~ Trump misrepresented both the photograph from the Democratic Republic of Congo and a protest video from South Africa, and made false statements about each item presented. Neither image shows evidence of systematic mass murders of white farmers in South Africa that could reasonably be said to constitute a "white genocide."
Farmer murders have indeed taken place in South Africa and have been acknowledged as a crime issue by the South African government. The 2020 protests saw both Black and white South Africans condemn the killings.
So its just like the whole "THEYRE EATING THE DOGS AND THE CATS!" situation that was full of nothing burgers.
its funny people will believe anything~
