White House Sham: Trump Uses Fake Genocide Pics
White House: Trump used fake photos/video claiming SA “white genocide,” misidentified leader.
During a recent White House discussion, President Donald Trump presented South African leader Cyril Ramaphosa with visuals he claimed supported charges of “white genocide” in South Africa, but these images were widely misidentified.
Trump displayed a printed photograph asserting it depicted white farmers buried in South Africa. In reality, the image was a screenshot from Reuters footage showing humanitarian workers lifting body bags in Goma, Democratic Republic of Congo, following clashes there in February.
He also shared a video, falsely labeling it burial sites of thousands of white South African farmers. This footage actually shows a memorial site from a 2020 protest in Normandien, South Africa, featuring crosses placed after a couple’s murder on their farm.
A politician visible in the video stated, “South Africans occupy land, that’s who we are.” Trump claimed this was a government official. However, the individual is Julius Malema, head of the opposition EFF party, which holds no government positions.
Since starting his second term in office, the Republican president has repeatedly leveled accusations of “genocide” against South Africa regarding its white minority population, a claim not supported by the evidence he presented.
