Showdown in Washington, but we aren't having any of that white genocide BS

Most people weren’t having any of it when President Donald Trump, as expected, ambushed a working delegation the US, led by President Cyril Ramaphosa, over unsubstantiated claims of ‘white genocide’:

@Mpumalanga
Post Many of you might not like Cyril Ramaphosa, but the guy is by far smarter than Donald Trump and Elon Musk combined.

@PhutiPela
Why didn’t Trump and Elon have a meeting with Julius because that’s clearly where their REAL issues lie. #SAinUSA

@Givenkazeni
I don’t think Trump is ignorant at all. He knows how to work his ignorant nation. He knows how and to digress, when to interrupt someone who’s about to make a valid point. When to be rude to throw you off. It’s all an act to push the agendas.

During a meeting at the Oval Office on May 21, 2025, U.S. President Donald Trump presented President Cyril Ramaphosa with images he claimed were evidence of a “white genocide” occurring in South Africa.However, according to sources, some of the images shown was misrepresented. The photo, purported to show burial sites of white farmers, was in fact taken in the Democratic Republic of Congo. It depicted Red Cross workers handling body bags following a mass prison break in Goma, where numerous women were reportedly raped and burned alive.President Ramaphosa, unaware of the image’s actual context at the time, responded calmly. He firmly rejected the genocide claims and explained that crime in South Africa affects all communities, with the majority of victims being Black South Africans.

@zilevandamme
Reading US and international coverage of the Ramaphosa/Trump meeting. The vast majority focus on Trump’s “unsubstantiated” claims about a white genocide/persecution in South Africa. I’m calling a geopolitical airwar victory for South Africa.

@mazemoore
They said when Biden took office that the “adults were back in charge.”South African President Ramaphosa visited both President Biden and President Trump. Biden told Ramaphosa one of his made up stories. Trump called out genocide.

@wise30152072
Trump: Why does one need to be black in order to do business & own farm in your country?
Ramaphosa: Johann Rupert is white and he owns many multi million businesses in South Africa.
Trump: …but but Elon, huh Starlink, huh genocide
Ramaphosa: LOL

@RachBlevins
While Trump is being praised for publicly accusing Ramaphosa of not protecting White Afrikaner farmers, @DougAMacgregor noted that the confrontation was likely done “at the behest of Israel,” as South Africa is the one pursuing a genocide case against Israel at the ICJ...

@Moletsane_keora
Pres. Ramaphosa did well even though Trump kept interjecting him. He was calm and collected but Trump was hell bent on believing the so called genocide taking place in our country. Johann Rupert, John Steenhuisen and Zogiswa Losi came through for the country. #Ramaphosa #Trump

@allenanalysis
Trump dragged Cyril Ramaphosa into the Oval Office and made him watch cherry-picked videos about so-called ‘white genocide.’Elon Musk stood in the room like it was a TED Talk on racial delusion.The message? Weaponize conspiracy. Gaslight a sovereign leader.Push a narrative that white people are the real victims globally.

@TheRedactedInc
By some estimates, more than 2 000 white farmers have been killed and the government does confiscate land but it also confiscates other white-owned business. But 50 000 Palestinians have been killed in Gaza and President Trump has never confronted Israeli Prime Minister Benyamin Netanyahu like this.
