    Hmmmm. Doing the "angry Grandpa" at a public White House event. Again.

    Is he okay? Is he in mental decline and unfit to be president? Are they hiding his true mental state from the public?

    Pity the next elected President, having to clean up this trainwreck of foreign relations.

    No way in hell would he do that to Putin, XI, or any of the other strongmen he admires so much. His meeting with Putin will be an epic ass kissing.

    while South African born Elon Musk looks on.
    Embarrassing, unpresidential and unprofessional.
    There’s no genocide in SA but i guess the actual genocide in other countries doesn't matter as much as this here.


    CNN —
    Moments before President Donald Trump escorted his South African counterpart into the Oval Office on Wednesday, White House aides could be seen wheeling two large-screen televisions down the driveway and into the West Wing.

    Little could have prepared President Cyril Ramaphosa for what he was about to see.

    Trump ordered the lights dimmed and launched into what amounted to an ambush of his visitor, screening a video he claimed was evidence for his false suggestion that White South Africans are being subjected to persecution and “genocide.”

    The moment was an orchestrated one, with Trump’s team also having printed out articles for him to hold up in front of the cameras that he said backed up his claims of White “genocide.”

    Agreed
    On the other hand every other leader should be prepared for the potentially disgusting behavior of trump and/or Vance. Will never happen, but would love to see one of these foreign leaders after being insulted to just say FU, quit lying, to the people, then get up and leave.

    Mandela would've set him straight on that BS.

    How pathetic and childish.

    It was a fake video.

    Trump claimed that the video was of 1000 roadside graves of dead White South Africans. In reality, it was just a political statement made by a politician in the country and not actually of real graves.

    Typical libby move to try and say the other guy is what you really are. Even the nerve to play that card after pretending no one could tell Joe was a basket case from day one and it just showed up at the debate.

    Thank God, that most of this country and the vast majority of Floridians aren't left-wing Marxists like many on this forum. What bubble world do you nuts live in, or do you just enjoy being misfits?

    He had print outs of the Daily Mail, showed a video that did not show what he said it did, and went on a rant about investigating NBC leadership because he doesn't like them. You don't see anything wrong with this?

    So, you're stating that reverse discrimination, which has been well documented for years, isn't taking place in South Africa, or that the mainstream media hasn't been caught in countless lies about Trump - even going as far as colluding with the democrat party?

    Given that your last thread was started with an AI generated video in order to get you a guy you want to tell you what you want to hear to actually tell you what you want to hear, are you sure that you want to talk about "bubble worlds" that "nuts live in?"

    Cool. Enjoy your AI videos where fake people tell you what you want to hear!

    I'll hang out in the real world, which is not the one that your AI videos show you.

    You originally quoted this response of mine, "So, you're stating that reverse discrimination, which has been well documented for years, isn't taking place in South Africa, or that the mainstream media hasn't been caught in countless lies about Trump - even going as far as colluding with the democrat party?" but gave no opinion. Do you have one?

    You're correct. You quoted me giving my opinion of the people who defend what I described ... so I pretty much know where you stand on the subject.

    Apartheid only ended in the 1990’s. Whites in post-apartheid South Africa still hold like 90% of the wealth from those days, despite having less than 10% of the population. “Reverse discrimination” lmao.

    They could still be making policy mistakes, one of the reasons for Zimbabwe’s economic collapse was their land seizures of their formerly white held plantations. South Africa sounds like has instituted a similar land expropriation law so could be going down that path, but everything I’ve read is that they haven’t actually done any land expropriation, so perhaps they’ve learned from the mistakes of Zimbabwe (which was to seize actively producing farms and end up severely damaging their own food production). Calling any of it “genocide” in South Africa seems to be a huge reach, esp given the history there. The whole argument relies on lies and distortions.
