President Trump held a meeting with South African President Cyril Ramaphosa on Wednesday, and it took a decidedly dramatic turn. He dimmed the lights in the Oval Office and forced the leader to watch video footage of officials chanting “kill the Boer” along with thousands of white farmer grave sites.

South African president called out by Trump in front of the whole world
Ramaphosa was there to discuss a variety of matters, but Trump shoved the white genocide taking place in his country in his face. The socialist leader attempted to change the subject to matters of trade and investment, but the president was not going to let him off the hook for the mistreatment and murder of white Afrikaner farmers, also known as Boers.
The South African leader just recently ratified a land-confiscation law that is seemingly meant to be weaponized against white farmers. He told Trump that if there was a genocide taking place, his minister, who was with him in the Oval Office, would have left his post. Then he tried to twist the narrative, informing the president that he could benefit from hearing his point of view on the matter.
From Breitbart:
Ramaphosa said that Trump should hear directly from South Africans, and pointed to three white South Africans that he had brought along with him, including golfers Ernie Els and Retief Goosen, and Minister of Agriculture John Steenhuisen, the leader of the Democratic Alliance, an opposition party that now serves alongside Ramaphosa’s African National Congress (ANC) in a government of national unity (GNU).
“We have thousands of stories talking about it, and we have documentaries. We have news stories,” Trump asserted. “It has to be responded to.”
Trump plays video proof of genocide in South Africa
That was when the lights were turned down and the video was played, showing the brutal reality taking place in South Africa, regardless of what Ramaphosa and the media claim.
The setting was awkward for the South African president, but he plastered a grin on his face anyway, which made things worse. The video showed thousands of white crosses marking white farmers’ graves that stretched for miles along a road that runs between Mokopane and Polokwane, South Africa:
“Now this is very bad. These are burial sites right here. Burial sites — over a thousand — of white farmers. And those cars are lined up to pay love on a Sunday morning. Each one of those white things you see is a cross. And there is approximately a thousand of them,” Trump commented. “They’re all white farmers. The family of white farmers. And those cars aren’t, driving, they are stopped there to pay respects to their family member who was killed. And it’s a terrible sight. I’ve never seen anything like it. On both sides of the road, you have crosses. Those people are all killed.”
“Have they told you where that is, Mr. President? I’d like to know where that is. Because this I’ve never seen,” Ramaphosa glibly lied to Trump.
“I mean, it’s in South Africa, that’s where,” Trump said, putting Ramaphosa in his place.
“We need to find out,” Ramaphosa said.
The president wasn’t done rubbing the South African president’s nose in the slaughter either. He showed another clip where South Africa’s Marxist-Leninist political party, the Economic Freedom Fighters, are seen chanting in a stadium packed with people condoning the murder of white Afrikaners. EFF leader Julius Malema sings, “Kill the Boer, [kill] the farmer.” He also urged, “Shoot to kill!”
South African president deflects – Trump didn’t buy into it
Ramaphosa attempted to mitigate the justified charge of genocide by admitting there was criminality in his country. He bristled at Trump’s charge that he allows racist groups to seize land from the white farmers. He didn’t mention they also rape, pillage, and torture as they go as well.
More from Breitbart:
Ramaphosa tried to argue that the leaders depicted in the video represented small opposition parties. Steenhuisen added that the DA had joined the ANC precisely to keep those parties out of the government.
Trump noted that those parties were large enough to fill large stadiums with their supporters, and asked why Julius Malema in particular, leader of the Economic Freedom Fighters (EFF), had not been arrested.
“They kill the white farmer. And when they kill the white farmer, nothing happens to them,” Trump bluntly charged.
“You’re taking people’s land away from them, and those people in many cases are being executed,” the president accused. “They happen to be white, and most of them happen to be farmers. How do you explain that?”
Golfers make their case
After that discussion, Trump turned to the two golfers that Ramaphosa referred to earlier. They did not give cover to him as he probably thought they would, but they did go to bat for their country.
Breitbart reported:
The discussion then took a thoughtful tone, as Trump called on Ernie Els to make a statement. Els said that it had been 35 years since Nelson Mandela had been freed, yet South Africa was struggling to fulfill its potential. “Two wrongs don’t make a right,” he said, referring to anti-white racism. He added that South Africa needed America’s help in making reforms: “We need the U.S. to push this thing through.”
Fellow golfer Retief Goosen validated Trump’s concerns about attacks on farmers and about crime in general. Businessman Johann Rupert pointed out that murder victims were both white and black but added that South Africa had rejected American help in the past because of self-defeating anti-American ideology. A trade union representative backed up Rupert’s concern for economic growth, noting that the potential end of the Africa Grown and Opportunity Act (AGOA) at the end of September — or South Africa’s exclusion from it — could mean the loss of many jobs in South Africa, which is already struggling with high unemployment.
What is happening in South Africa is nothing short of genocide at the hands of vicious communist racists. It is long overdue that they were held accountable for the murder of white farmers and the persecution of whites in general. America should not reward murderers with trade.
