Human Events Daily host Jack Posobiec spoke about the fiery exchange between President Donald Trump and South African President Cyril Ramaphosa that took place during their Oval Office meeting on Wednesday.

Trump directly confronted Ramaphosa over the ongoing violence faced by white South African farmers. Posobiec said: “President Donald J. Trump just went full Clockwork Orange on the President Ramaphosa of South Africa, there in the Oval Office just about an hour ago. He said, ‘you want to tell me that there aren’t white families being killed and slaughtered on your farmlands? Put the lights down everybody, let’s play something,’ and he rolled in a TV and made the president of South Africa watch.”



Posobiec described how Trump used video evidence and media coverage to blast Ramaphosa with a truth bomb. “And then said, ‘how are you going to allow this? How are you going to allow this in your country? Why hasn’t that person been arrested? Why do you allow this person to go around, saying that he’s going to kill white farmers at a time when we know white farmers" are facing violence, he said, referring to footage of National Assembly member and known anti-white politician Julian Malema. 

“President Trump started pulling out articles that he printed out and prepared, and said what about this family, and what about that family?” Posobiec added. “Thank God almighty that someone is finally speaking up about the abject horrors and the white genocide that is going on and being perpetuated in South Africa right now.”

Trump played video clips during the meeting that included South African officials stating “killing is part of a revolution,” claims that land could be taken without compensation, and Malema leading a chant of “kill the Boer, kill the farmer” with a crowd. “Trump said that white farmers are ‘fleeing South Africa.’”

In the meeting, Trump pointed to burial sites of “over 1,000 white farmers” and called it a “terrible sight,” adding, “I’ve never seen anything like it.” Ramaphosa responded, “Have they told you where that is, Mr. President? I’d like to know where that is, because this I’ve never seen."



Trump also showed a stack of printed reports. “These are articles over the last few days,” he said. “Death of people, death, death, death, horrible death, death.” The stories included reports of white South Africans fleeing due to violence, accounts of brutal attacks, and other alleged incidents of targeted killings.

“When you look at the videos, I mean, how does it get worse?” Trump said during the meeting. “And these are people that are officials, and they’re saying that, ‘kill the white farmer and take their land.’ And I have other friends in South Africa, people that left, one in particular that says you can’t go there. He said they will want to take your land. They take your land and they kill you.”



When pressed by a reporter on what it would take to convince him that there is no white genocide in South Africa, Trump was ready with documentation and videos. Ramaphosa responded: “Well, I can answer that for the president… It will take President Trump listening to the voices of South Africans, some of whom are his good friends, like those who are here when we have talks between us.”

Ramaphosa downplayed the threat, stating, "I’m not going to be repeating what I’ve been saying. I would say, if there was Afrikaner farmer genocide, I can bet you these three gentlemen would not be here, including my minister of agriculture. He would not be with me."

In response to the video content shown, Ramaphosa clarified, “The speeches seen in the clips is not government policy.” He emphasized that South Africa’s political structure allows for a wide range of expression. “In South Africa’s multi-party democracy, people are allowed to express themselves and political parties can adhere to various policies,” he said.

“And in many cases, or in some cases, those policies do not go along with government policy. Our government policy is completely, completely, against what he was saying, even in parliament. And they’re a small minority party, which is allowed to exist in terms of our constitution.”

Adding to the conversation around the chant “kill the Boer,” South African MP Willie Aucamp of the official opposition issued a statement condemning its continued use. “The inflammatory ‘Kill the Boer’ chant has no place in our society, regardless of any legal ruling on its constitutionality,” Aucamp said.

“The fact that this song continues to be sung by Julius Malema and other political figures is deeply troubling and unacceptable,” he added. “The song ‘Kill the Boer, kill the farmer’ goes beyond mere words. It incites violence, stokes hatred, and deepens divisions within our society. We should be working towards unity and healing, and songs like this only serve to deepen the rifts that still exist in our country.”

As Posobiec concluded, he added, “President Trump understood, this is the weak link of BRICS,” Posobiec said. “President Trump understands the leverage economically and geopolitically that it puts on everything, Elon Musk standing right there. I just have to salute it. Thank God someone is finally speaking out.”
