You've opened up a can of worms young
man .
A corrupt SA black president meets a corrupt US white president while a white SA Billionaire begs the corrupt white US president to invest in SA .
The only money the SA Billionaire has spent is on himself , building some cottages for his family
Biggest mistake will be to ignore the issue because of some crafty spin doctors. This is real, I’ve seen it and lived it… President Trump may not be everyone’s cup of tea, but he is really doing well to address this issue.
Those crosses are not grave sights b t w. South Africans across the board are getting murdered. But some lives are more important than others.
Africa does not need Trump or America..
The SA Government look like the sort of Grubs that two hundred years ago would have rounded up other African's and sold them into slavery.Evil filth.!
"although it's not true"
lmao at least try to hide your bias
Trump only cares about his white people; Africa is for black people, also Trump forgot to investigate the different places where white people have established colonies where they clearly establish that it is only for whites and that in the future they want to become a country🧐 does that mean they want to steal land from Africa and turn it into another white country? Imagine if in Europe a group of black people said the same thing 🥺 Trump just wants to make a show, this type of presidency is shameful, he did not investigate what white people did to black people in South Africa 😶 in their own land, nobody said anything, many black people died daily and nobody said anything, if it weren't for Mandela and other Warriors I think that segregation would continue; Africa and South Africa are majority black so they must follow the rules of the majority just like they do in Europe. Africa, Never never, never again, to humiliation and segregation in our own land✊🏿
Who are you. Most of it is true.
# trump is doing terrible things to Black Americans…..he is attempting to cover up the true history of the Black American in America……he is attempting to cover up the many contributions made by Black Americans ……he has remove extremely qualified Black Americans from positions he believe Black Americans should not have…..he is attempting to diminish Black Americans….. he is creating a combative environment for Black Americans in America……he is forcefully moving America in the direction of a SECOND Jim Crow Era…….trump sees America as a one race country…….he is unstable and dangerous ……
I thought Trump's focus was America First. Why is he getting into South Africa's affairs? Oh wait there is an Afrikaaner in the white house Elon Musk
Your assessment that what Trump is saying regards the killing of white farmers completely shows your lack of knowledge on the subject yet you blanket statement say it’s untrue. I live in South Africa on a farm and can attest to the many many many very brutal murders that have taken place since 1994! This is genocide that the South African government in my mind is a party to because they are trying to hide the reality! The truth will come out- Trump has just put a focus on it!
Moral of the story. Never trust Trump. He will never do anything in good faith. He will use anyone to try to score political points regardless of what he is saying not even close to being 100% accurate.
South Africa is self sufficient. High time they stop looking at west for funds & getting insulted. AFRICA pls stop begging & awaken yourselves
BS
The South African delegation should have been very uncomfortable.
South Africa has turned into a super dangerous S— H—. S.A. should get zero aid from the west. The white Europeans brought civilization to southern africa. S.A president had a nervous smile and was caught in his lie. The golfer that was brought along, talked of his family's hardship. Many white farmers have been murdered. One plus is the government thugs and hacks couldnt grow a wead so the farms will collapse just as happened in zimbabwe.Of course your not telling the Truth of what the papers stated. S.A. government as well this clown speaking deserve zero respect and none of our money. They have ruined another perfectly good country built by whites.
The entire USA is seized land without compensation so he should know.
…but the white farmers took the land by force and did not pay a dime. Know the history of apartheid.
The taiking back of land – the chicken is coming home to roost……Simples!
What is his business dictating to another country? Get your own country in order first. What was SA doing there in rhe first place? Serves them right!
Have you forgotten what these Afrikaans did to black people? I think the blacks in SA are saints!
The USA is a very violent country. This is just a case of trying to pick out the speck in somebodys eye when you have a log in yours. What is he doing about the blacks being ki**lled in the USA? The height of hypocrisy!
I guess you’re fired now, huh? Hope so.
And Gaza???
No mention about the killing while apartheid was going on🤔🤔🤔🤔
Rather it’s white farmers OR WHITE PEOPLE it don’t matter.
Love how this guy says. Yeah, the president of South Africa signed something saying you could seize the property of owners but then said that it wasn't happening
What was on that video, a full stadium of S.A oppo of its president & speaking aggressive towards somebody, was this speaker in agreement w or no sincere thoughts towards these white farmer killings ?
🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸 my guy trump holding people accountable
1:32 go read that article
Then why would the farmers seek asylum?
For those who are uneducated on this matter. White south Africans migrated to Africa from Europe during the 1600's they practically did what their counterparts did to the native American here in the States. The White Europeans slaughtered the Blacks native to Africa in astronomical numbers. Years later those people rose up and want their land back. How is this wrong? Also the racist uneducated Whites here in the States are pushing a false narrative when in fact Whites are not killed no more than any other "race" in south Africa. If you're racist and bigots just own it. You don't have to look for reasons to be who you are. Especially false ones. Thank you Trump for being the leader of uneducated whites and exposing to the free world who you people really are.
African President was rude, Interrupted and then basically said, believe me not your eyes and ears.
" AFRICA 🌍 MUST UNITE "
I don't know why they came here in the first place, stand your ground Sir, fu$k D.T. You don't owe the U.S an explanation of what you're doing in YOUR Homeland.
Disgusting!
In the whole video you only mentioned the expropriation law but didn’t address it, pointless
