"Another day, another shocking Oval Office meeting between Trump and a world leader. This time it was South Africa’s Cyril Ramaphosa, who was ambushed by the US president; Trump requested dimmed lights for video footage to be played purporting to show anti-white violence in the country and relentlessly peddled false accusations of 'genocide' and Afrikaners being 'executed' as justification for admitting them into the US as refugees."

In an effort to diffuse the chaos, Ramaphosa kept composed as he tried to explain to Trump that while violent crime affects people of all races in his country most victims are black, white people are not being persecuted there,"

The international embarrassment that this man is.
