Ramaphosa: “I’m sorry, I don’t have a plane to give you.”
Trump: “I wish you did, I would take it.”
Mr. Ramaphosa turned to look at the screen as Mr. Trump narrated, and then questioned the location of the scenes in the video, saying he didn’t recognize them as in South Africa.
What a world we live in
They exist in his mind Mr. Ramaphosa, and he has such a special brain.
There have been killings of white South Africans, but police statistics show they are not killed at a higher rate than other South Africans.
Now, can we compare that to US statistics for the killings of black Americans vs other Americans?
No we can’t, you DEI commie. You know what? Straight to CECOT for you!

Mr. Trump narrated one of the scenes, which he said were “burial sites of more than 1,000 white farmers” whose loved ones cars lined up on Sunday mornings to visit their graves. “It’s a terrible sight,” he said. “I’ve never seen anything like it.”
Ummm, yeah. That sounds like a cemetery, man. That’s actually where us peasants bury our dead relatives. Not all of us have golf courses for that.
Trump uses those for photo ops.
He should just reply “I’m sure you would”
Looks like he was wearing a suit. Did he forget to say thank you?

So either Trump’s fascists are knowingly lying, or they’re completely ignorant and didn’t bother to check facts because they don’t care about facts. Or they’re incapable of noticing when bad things happen to non-white people because they don’t care about those people.
I did not see op’s quotes in the article, but I wouldn’t be shocked to learn that exchange happened
I don’t think you read the article then…
I did read it, it could have been updated after the time of my reading and making this comment.
I learned from other sources that he did in fact say this.
And I hate my country all the more for it. This man is actively looking for bribes from other countries, as is our country hadn’t already done enough for him.
Sentiment shared.
This smells Musky
At one point, Mr. Trump referred to another apparently informal adviser on South Africa.
“Elon is from South Africa,” Mr. Trump said, waving at the billionaire Elon Musk, who was standing nearby, close to Stephen Miller, Mr. Trump’s deputy chief of staff.
Mr. Musk has been among the most vocal critics of the South African government, and has lashed out at Mr. Ramaphosa on social media.
“Elon happens to be from South Africa,” Mr. Trump said. “This is what Elon wanted.”
That dolt is still in the room with Trump, despite us not hearing about his activities as often this week. Soon people might start wondering if he’d left already.
Trump deserves nothing
Trump deserves a useless outdated plane that will need years (estimated at 2028) to bring up to usefulness, such that the next gen AF-1 will come ready in 2027. The american people have no such need. Nor do we need nor will we benefit from a birthday military parade. The odds are we will be more harmed than benefitted by such a parade.
He shook the price down of the new Airforce one 😁
No, apparently no, he didn’t. If only.
