Trump said: “We have thousands of stories talking about it,” then ordered his staff: “Turn the lights down and just put this on.”

Sitting next to Trump before the fireplace, Ramaphosa forced a smile and turned to look at a big TV screen as Trump’s South Africa-born billionaire ally Elon Musk, JD Vance, the defence secretary Pete Hegseth and diplomats and journalists from both countries looked on.

The video included footage of former South African president Jacob Zuma and firebrand opposition politician Julius Malema singing an apartheid-era struggle song called “Kill the Boer”, which means farmer or Afrikaner, as supporters danced.

South Africa was the initiator of the Genocide case against Israel in the ICJ. Trump's Zionist strategist are going after South Africa, and it's so easy to rile up Trump's core base with this "white genocide" narrative.

Very good point. It would seem as though Trump is spreading the "white genocide" conspiracy theory to distract from the real genocide that Israel is doing in Gaza.

Elon is filling his ear, his base loves the White Genocide talking point, it gives him "I like refugees" cred with "centrists", it distracts from and is revenge for Israel, it ticks a lot of Boxes for Trump.

and it's so easy to rile up Trump's core base with this "white genocide" narrative.

It's been a thing in fascist/conservative circles for at least a decade, claiming South Africa is killing whites. It's honestly surprising it's taken this long for Trump to publicly make it policy to support nazi Boer
