Oh, there’s no doubt in my mind that this will develop into endless memery. It’s already caused quite an uproar, and I think it’s an absolutely brilliant move. News of a reliable nature hasn’t been getting out of South Africa for years. I’ve read accounts, but they were, frankly, too gross and unbelievable to post as accurate…but it’s becoming clear that it’s all too true.
In the video clips shown by President Trump to all those present in the Oval Office, South Africans were chanting phrases such as “Kill the Boer” and “Shoot to kill, the Boer, the farmer.” These clips were presented by Trump as evidence of violence against white farmers in South Africa.

Diving Deeper:
During a bilateral meeting at the White House on Wednesday, President Donald Trump confronted South African President Cyril Ramaphosa with video of racially targeted violence against white citizens, specifically farmers. Trump had the Oval Office lights dimmed to show a video he described as proof of what friends in South Africa have warned him about: brutal killings and land seizures targeting white South Africans.
“They take your land and they kill you,” Trump told Ramaphosa, referencing what he said were firsthand accounts from South African contacts. The video featured in the meeting included inflammatory clips of Economic Freedom Fighters leader Julius Malema appearing to incite violence against the white minority, as well as imagery of memorials dedicated to white farmers allegedly murdered in rural parts of the country.
Ramaphosa, seated across from the president and visibly nervous, pushed back firmly. “What you saw—the speeches that were being made—that is not government policy,” he said. “Our government policy is completely, completely against what he was saying.”
The confrontation also touched on South Africa’s newly enacted land policy, which allows the government to confiscate land deemed “unused” without compensation. Trump raised concern that the law would be used to further target white landowners under the guise of reform.
The face-off unfolded in front of South African-born billionaire Elon Musk, who was in the Oval Office for the exchange and has been advising Trump on tech and economic issues.
