On Wednesday, President Donald Trump went on a racist tirade in front of South African President Cyril Ramaphosa and pushed the false narrative that a “white genocide” is underway in that nation. Now it is becoming clear that not only was Trump being racist, but he was also using faked documents to push his made-up story.
There is not a “white genocide” in South Africa, but that has been a narrative promoted for years by white supremacists as the nation attempts to deal with the decades-long fallout of the racist apartheid system of government. The cause of white supremacists has been amplified to the highest level of American government via Trump.
Trump’s decision to push this racist narrative echoes his actions during the presidential election in 2024, when he and now-Vice President JD Vance falsely accused Haitian migrants of stealing and eating domestic animals. Trump has spent his entire time as a political figure promoting racist lies to further his political fortunes.
