Trump Says 'White Genocide' Is Happening in South Africa

President Donald Trump said White people are being systematically targeted and killed in South Africa on Wednesday after being asked if a "White genocide" was happening in the country.
The president was asked about South Africa while speaking to reporters at the World Economic Forum in Switzerland.
"Is there a White genocide in South Africa, and are you willing to engage with the South African government?" a female reporter asked Trump.
"What's happening in South Africa is terrible, it's a terrible situation," Trump told her. "What they're doing to people, a certain group of people is unbelievable, you wouldn't think it could happen today."
Trump briefly explained why he believed that was the case a moment later.
"We have seen the numbers, we have seen the records, and it is taking place," Trump said.
He then started speaking to another reporter. Trump's comments come after he said last year there was a "genocide that's taking place" in South Africa, but the media "don't want to write about" it. Multiple media outlets have since debunked Trump's claims in various fact checks on the topic.
"White farmers are being brutally killed, and their land is being confiscated in South Africa," Trump said.
Trump famously confronted South African President Cyril Ramaphosa about it last year at the White House in front of reporters. The president showed him a video of "burial sites" of "over 1,000" white farmers — a claim The New York Timesreported was false.
He was also ripped by critics last year for drastically reducing the number of refugees admitted in 2025 to 7,500 — down from 125,000 during Joe Biden's term — and reserving the "record-low number of slots for mostly White Afrikaner South Africans," as the Timesreported.
The U.S. State Department said they were a "racial minority in South Africa" who are the "victims of government-sponsored race-based discrimination."
Trump said at the time it "makes no difference" whether those refugees are Black or White. But he said it was necessary because White farmers were being "brutally killed and their land is being confiscated."
He later said the U.S. did not attend the G20 Summit in South Africa because it "refuses to acknowledge or address the horrific Human Rights Abuses endured by Afrikaners."

My guess is Trump could talk about this subject for about 15 seconds before he started babbling incoherently.
There isn't one stoopid conspiracy theory that Trump doesn't believe in. WindmillS drive the whales crazy...windmills are inefficient except at killing "our" eagles.,
The fat liar in chief couldn't walk 30 feet at the Arctic Circle but it's imperative that he take it by force if necessary
He thinks domestic terrorism is the biggest threat to his country, the one he thinks needs a dictator. Only a dictator would tell the DOJ to bury the Jack Smith Volume 2
and ask for a law that would even forbid the DOJ or anyone in the future to read the report?
Talk about malignant narcissism...
he's suffering from diminished mental capacity after the recent stroke he had, that's being kept secret by his inner circle ...
I've read that too.
My father had his carotid arteries replaced but within a few years he started falling asleep at red lights again.
He had to wear a neck brace to keep the blood flowing to his brain or he just fell asleep.
Without the brace he had a string of mini strokes.
I would think that Trump's aspirin abuse would prevent strokes but his behavior indicates otherwise.
White genocide is being committed by Trump's close friend and ally, Putin, every day in Ukraine.
So...is he going to bomb South Africa next? Asking for a friend
Well he is bombing North Africa and has bombed Central Africa so what's the dif?
All while having a secret Board of Peace, supposedly with the UN but none of our Allies???
