Foreign leaders have learned that there is a nearly fail-safe strategy to surviving an Oval Office visit: show up ready to make deals and lather praise on President Donald Trump.
But that may not work for South Africa’s president.
Cyril Ramaphosa could be in for a tongue-lashing on Wednesday when he meets the U.S. president. His country is the rare partner on the world stage that has managed to anger nearly every faction of Trump’s party – from the MAGA acolytes fixated on South Africa’s racial politics to more traditional Republicans who believe it has chosen the wrong side in the world’s conflicts. “Ramaphosa is walking into a buzzsaw in the Oval Office,” said Cameron Hudson, former director for African affairs on the National Security Council during the George W. Bush administration. Hudson said he expected the visit to be an “unmitigated disaster.”

The relationship between the U.S. and South Africa has been rapidly deteriorating since January, when Trump took office and almost immediately began to highlight what he and close aides view as South Africa’s race-based discrimination against Afrikaners, the country’s white ethnic minority that ruled during Apartheid.
In February, Trump signed an executive order ending all foreign aid to South Africa based on unproven claims of “race-based discrimination” — championing the plight of white Afrikaners in what has become a cause celebre for figures in the new MAGA right like billionaire tycoon Elon Musk (who is himself South African). *** One administration official, granted anonymity to discuss the visit because they were not authorized to speak publicly, said that it’s “almost a 100 percent chance” that Trump brings up South Africa’s treatment of its white farmers when the two leaders appear for the now customary Oval Office gaggle with members of the press. ***

2. Of course the journalist Eli Stokols minimizes and marginalizes the killing of white people

“2. Of course the journalist Eli Stokols minimizes and marginalizes the killing of white people”
I believe that appears to be happening in the US now.
I am listening to this.
The SA Prez is getting OWNED.
Thank you President Trump - AND Elon Musk.
It’s been over 30 years; these people need to be called to the carpet.
Also, and this is for CNN: Trump playing the tapes and showing the crosses DISPROVING your lower third. It would be shameless - it you had any shame at all.
granting amnesty for those Afrikaners is about 30 years over due!
just my $0.02 - from a black dude.
jimjohn - OUT.
The United States, through it’s efforts and tax payer dollars, overthrew a semi-democratic financially successful, but subversive Racist government. It was replaced by genocidal, financially failing, and overtly Racist government.
How is what we got now better?
guy should get the Pinochet treatment.
By showing the strong possibility of white genocide, I think Trump knows the left will say “whitey deserves that!”.
This “tactic” continues to paint them into a political corner of mega -radical extremism the main populace can not support
Necklaced on the South Lawn?
He was hit between the eyes....with truth.
When the south African presidnet walks in...Trump shoot start dancing and singing the “Shoot the Boer/White farmer” song...but replace “Boer” “Ramaphosa”.
JD Vance can keep rhythm with by being a human beat box behind trump.
And for those of you who dont know about the “Shoot the Boer” song...its basically a chant, that stadiums full of people led by Sout African public officials sing, and the song is about killing white farmers in South Africa.
It’s a thing of beauty!!!
Of course the Democrats and MSM will either deem it racist and/or memory hole it.
Why give the honor of a state visit to that vile SOB? He is ON VIDEO saying he has no problem with the murder of whites. He is ON VIDEO singing about killing whites. He is ON VIDEO and signed laws taking white owned property. Every white person in that place should leave and let the commie blacks starve to death
MANDELA SHOULD HAVE DIED IN PRISON.
Communist terrorism should have severe consequences.
It will.
The ChiComs have big plans for South Africa.
The ChiComs hate black people.
“The ChiComs have big plans for South Africa.”
Let them have it. SA will chew them up and **** them out.

Not true. They think that they are delicious.
