The United States is stopping all federal funding to South Africa, U.S. President Donald Trump said on Friday.

"To go a step further, any Farmer (with family!) from South Africa, seeking to flee that country for reasons of safety, will be invited into the United States of America with a rapid pathway to Citizenship," Trump wrote in a Truth Social post.

Trump said this process will begin immediately.

U.S. foreign assistance commitments to South Africa came in at $323.4 million in 2024, according to government data.

We need to stop funding the entire country. Just let the crap hole dry up. Tourists can still use it for a big outhouse. Almost the entire population lives somewhere else as UN “refugeez”.

Under apartheid, they were a first-world country with solid industries of all kinds. Rumored that they even had nukes (rumor I believe was that Israel helped).

Like so many countries that go down the radical path, there's just no excuse for them and no amount of money is going to help, it just gets pee'ed away.

Remember all the bombast and hype in the 1980s about “disinvesting from SA” due to the racial politics”?

Funny how those same Alt Leftists will be screaming at President Trump about this

Those people, like the Amish and Hutterites, can plant a seed in the middle of a parking lot and it’ll grow.

“..Like so many countries that go down the radical path, there’s just no excuse for them and no amount of money is going to help, it just gets pee’ed away....”

And ^THAT^ is EXACTLY what the insane communist RATS had/have plans for us here in America. What’s happened in Rhodesia and South Africa is EXACTLY what they want for here....insanity, stupidity abounds to ends with these basstids.

We should encourage Afrikaners to come to the U.S. They are hard-working intelligent people. The Left will object of course but the hell with them. Things will only get worse in South Africa.

Re: "A black day for South Africa!"

Speaking of Black...

Effective immediately, 98% of the South African farmers coming to the USA will be Black.

After their rapid path to Citizenship, they will vote 80% Democrat.

By the way, most white South African expatriates emigrate to Socialist countries like the UK, Canada, Australia, and New Zealand.

Well, to be fair, they're staying within the British Commonwealth. They're all Commonwealth countries.
