Trump Cuts Off Aid to South Africa for Confiscating Land

South Africa is confiscating land, and treating certain classes of people VERY BADLY. It is a bad situation that the Radical Left Media doesn’t want to so much as mention. A massive Human Rights VIOLATION, at a minimum, is happening for all to see. The United States won’t stand for it, we will act. Also, I will be cutting off all future funding to South Africa until a full investigation of this situation has been completed!

The president is reacting to a new South African law that enables the government to take people’s property:

Trump’s comments come less than two weeks after South African President Cyril Ramaphosa signed a new law making it easier for the state to expropriate land, subject to equitable compensation paid.

The African National Congress, the largest political party in South Africa, has pushed to make it easier for the state to take land in an effort to address racially skewed land-ownership patterns dating back to colonial and White-minority rule.

The South African rand slid nearly 2% against the dollar in early Asia trading on Trump’s comments.

The South African president said earlier in January that he was “not worried” about how his relationship with the American president would play out.

Ramaphosa said he spoke to Trump after his U.S. election victory and looked forward to working with his administration.

"I'm not worried about our relations. I spoke to him soon after he was elected, congratulated him, and we both said we are looking forward to continued dealings and engagements," he told reporters on the sidelines of the World Economic Forum's annual meeting in Davos, Switzerland.

Sounds like he should be worried now.

Why don’t we encourage them to migrate to America? What could be more humane than accepting more Africans into our country?

I don’t mind if the Elon Musk types migrate here. As for the rest .... hmmm...

Thank God!

It's time to also place sanctions on South Africa if the racist communists cease land from citizens based on their race without compensation.

I'm sure they'd be productive citizens if they can get out with what they have earned.

We've been giving aid to south africa? Is there any country to whom we do not give aid? Stop all aid. To everybody. To anybody. Take care of our vets. Take care of our elderly.

Take care of Americans. First. Last. Always.

[MinorityRepublican]

I think Elon Musk is starting to find out. We're giving aid to everybody so that "the big guy gets 10%".

We're just starting to find out how much the Democrats have benefited from corruption for the past couple of decades. I think it goes all the way back to JFK.

YAY!!!

[RushIsMyTeddyBear]

Neocons as well.

[Magnum44]

It makes you wonder why we were giving them money to begin with. Our government is thieving and stupid.

[july4thfreedomfoundation]

Exactly. They have plenty of gold, diamonds, etc.

And they are a bunch of communists. Why are we giving them a damn dollar?

[Chani]

The world is gonna miss our money. Yipeee!

[ShawnShawntheLeprecaun]

And it’s about damn time.

[USA-FRANCE]

Fantastic, I never expected Trump would even be thinking about that - and in less than two weeks !

Fair and good news.

[dfwgator]

Settling all family business.

The guy just keeps hitting it out of the ball park.

He’s in an absolute mission to remake the world.

[spokeshave]

South Africa is a failed state....power brown out....water supplies interrupted

[Angelino97]

I assume Musk informed Trump about this.

Thinking back to the good old days of Soldier of Fortune Magazine, and the want ads seeking good men to go fight in Rhodesia.

Thinking South Africa needs a few good men again to clear the bush.

SLIDE:

Once upon a time, I met the (then) current editor of Soldier of Fortune Magazine. He introduced himself to me in Denver, Colorado, at my hotel. I was there on special assignment/active duty/TDY, at the time.

He took me to a downtown Denver hotel under construction, to show me and ask me if I wanted to base jump off of it... it was 40 stories in height, or about 400 feet tall.

I stood there looking at how close the stoplights at an intersection were... to our position up on the roof, and made the decision right then not to make my first base jump from off of a 40 story building. I don’t always choose wisely, but sometimes self preservation shines through. The guy’s name was Robin Heid. Tru dat!
