Trump Confronts South Africa Over White Farmer Killings: “This Is Genocide”

President Donald Trump just did what no other world leader seems to have the courage—or the honesty—to do. In a meeting with South African President Cyril Ramaphosa, Trump didn’t dance around the issue. He didn’t bury it in diplomatic jargon or hide behind “context.” He looked Ramaphosa in the eye and played a video—yes, played a video—of South African politician Julius Malema and thousands of supporters chanting “Kill the Boer.”

That phrase doesn’t need interpretation. It’s not nuanced. It’s not a “fringe issue,” as Ramaphosa tried to claim. It’s a battle cry for violence against White South African farmers, known as Afrikaners. And President Trump called it exactly what it is: “When they take the land, they kill the white farmer… and nothing happens to them. I don’t know how it can get any worse.”

Only Trump would do this. Only Trump could do this.

Cue the internet meltdown. Cue the meme wars. Cue the think pieces from elite media pearl-clutching over “tone” while ignoring the very real bloodshed behind the chant. But here’s the truth: This is serious. Deadly serious.

In January, Ramaphosa signed a law allowing the South African government to confiscate land from White farmers without compensation. Let me say that again: Take. Their. Land. For. Free. If this were happening to any other group of people, the global community would be screaming. But because the victims are White, and because the perpetrators are politically favored, we’re told to look away. We’re told it’s not genocide—because no one’s wearing a swastika. Because it doesn’t fit the media’s preferred narrative.

Is it a “literal” genocide? Maybe not by textbook definition. But people have used that word for far less than what’s happening in South Africa right now. Hundreds of families have firsthand accounts of murder, torture, and targeted violence. Thousands—70,000, to be exact—are seeking asylum in the United States. And Trump, unlike the rest of the global elite, actually sees them. He hears them.

In fact, he’s already welcomed 59 Afrikaner refugees. And he’s signaling to the rest: You are not forgotten.

This is what “America First” foreign policy looks like. It doesn’t mean ignoring the world—it means telling the truth, even when it’s uncomfortable. Especially when it’s uncomfortable.

And for all the noise, one thing is clear: When no one else will speak for the persecuted, President Trump will.
