President Donald Trump forced a tense diplomatic moment this week when he confronted South African President Cyril Ramaphosa with disturbing video evidence showing white farmers under attack, exposing violent rhetoric from radical leaders like Julius Malema. The explosive meeting flipped a routine trade discussion into a confrontation over race, crime, and human rights.
Trump Shows Grim Video: “They Are All White Farmers”
What began as a discussion on investment turned suddenly when Trump played a video showing violent anti-white chants and footage of crosses marking the graves of murdered white farmers. The video featured extremists chanting “Kill the Boer,” images of funeral processions, and testimonies from victims’ families.
“These are burial sites. Over a thousand white farmers. Every one of those white things you see is a cross,” Trump said. “I’ve never seen anything like it.” The former president used the moment to highlight the systematic violence and racial targeting that has largely gone ignored by global media.
🔥TRUMP – WOW! Even mainstream media now showing the meeting between Trump and SA President Ramaphosa.
No other world leader either cares or has the courage to point it out.
Ramaphosa looks sweaty as Trump plays the evidence of “kill the whites” 🔥

Ramaphosa Scrambles with Public Relations Move
Caught off guard, President Ramaphosa denied that attacks on white farmers were government policy and insisted South Africa is a multiparty democracy. In a clear PR move, he arrived with well-known white South Africans—golf stars Ernie Els and Retief Goosen, and billionaire Johann Rupert—to ease growing international concerns.
Els called for calm, saying, “Two wrongs don’t make a right,” while Goosen admitted farm attacks are a problem. Rupert noted that violent crime affects all races, but Trump’s footage left little doubt about the targeted nature of the farm killings.
Trump Demands Answers on Malema: “Why Hasn’t He Been Arrested?”
Trump turned his attention to radical Marxist leader Julius Malema, demanding to know why he hasn’t been charged for inciting violence. Malema has repeatedly led crowds in chants like “Kill the farmer” and “Shoot to kill”, fueling fears of a race-based uprising.

“If anyone in America said that, they’d be in jail,” Trump pointed out. He blasted South Africa’s land expropriation policy, comparing it to Zimbabwe’s disastrous reforms and warning that similar outcomes could lead to widespread economic collapse and famine.
Reports confirm the U.S. has begun quietly accepting Afrikaner families as refugees, triggering backlash from Ramaphosa, who labeled them “cowards” for leaving. Meanwhile, South Africa fears being cut out of U.S. trade programs if tensions continue to rise.
A Wake-Up Call for Global Media and Diplomats
The showdown has sent shockwaves across the diplomatic world, with media scrambling to cover a story long ignored by left-wing outlets. When an NBC reporter tried to shift topics, Trump snapped back, insisting the racial violence against farmers is not a distraction—it’s the issue.
This high-profile clash forces global leaders to reconsider South Africa’s land policies and how far they’re willing to tolerate political incitement. For Trump, it’s another example of calling out injustice—even if it’s uncomfortable for elites and foreign leaders alike.
As G20 meetings approach, Trump has not confirmed whether he’ll attend—sending a clear message: if human rights are being ignored, don’t expect business as usual.
