Sinister Trump dims the lights for another White House ambush
Briefly

During a recent meeting with South African President Cyril Ramaphosa, Donald Trump showcased a troubling perspective on the racial dynamics in South Africa. Seizing the moment, Trump presented manipulated visuals implying a "white genocide" while disparaging the country with derogatory references to its political figures. This alarming display was exacerbated by an aide, Natalie Harp, who played videos featuring apartheid-era songs linked to violence against white farmers. Trump's narrative, underscored by a focus on death and peril, left Ramaphosa in an uncomfortable position, reminiscent of previous political ambushes orchestrated by Trump.
Trump’s delusion that a white genocide is happening in South Africa inevitably reared its ugly head. Ramaphosa said listening to South Africans would help better understand.
With his audience captive, Trump turned sinister and ordered his staff to dim the lights and activate a big screen, startling guests much like a Bond villain.
Natalie Harp, known as the human printer, plugged in the TV and played a video that incited fear regarding South African politics, showcasing opposition politicians.
Trump brandished a sheaf of newspaper cuttings about recent killings in South Africa, muttering bleakly: Death, death, death, horrible death.
