South African President Fires Back At Trump: 'stay Out Of Our Issues!' (Pix/Vid) by Rebuker(m): 2:10pm On Feb 03
A statement from Pretoria came after Trump, on Sunday, threatened to cut future funding to South Africa over alleged land confiscation and the mistreatment of "certain classes of people."

"South Africa is confiscating land and treating certain classes of people VERY BADLY. It is a bad situation that the Radical Left Media doesn’t even want to mention. A massive Human Rights VIOLATION, at a minimum, is happening for all to see," he said on his Truth Social platform.

Trump’s outburst came after South African President Cyril Ramaphosa signed the Expropriation Bill into law last month, replacing the pre-democratic Expropriation Act of 1975. The new legislation outlines the process by which state entities can expropriate land in the public interest for various purposes.

Trump stated that the U.S. would halt all funding to the country until a thorough investigation into the matter was completed.

However, Ramaphosa emphasized that South Africa is a "constitutional democracy deeply rooted in the rule of law, justice, and equality."

He clarified that the only funding South Africa receives from the U.S. is for HIV/AIDS prevention.
“There is no other funding that South Africa receives from the United States.”

On Monday, while speaking, the South African president said:

"This issue that Trump fears so much—we offered this portion of the land. I don't know what Donald Trump wants to do with South African land because he has never been here. He should keep his America, and we will keep our South Africa. South Africa is our land; it belongs to all the people who live here, not to Donald Trump. He can keep his America.

He is even worse. When I meet him, I will tell him: Donald Trump, you are even worse because your forefathers came to America, found the indigenous Americans, wiped them out, and killed nearly all of them. Now, as black and white South Africans, we are going to find solutions to our land issues. Donald Trump must leave us alone. He must stay out of our affairs because when we were facing apartheid and oppression, he was not here. He didn't fight side by side with us. Yet, on our own—yes, with the support of progressive forces around the world—we were able to resolve all apartheid-related issues.

Donald Trump was nowhere near the negotiating table, so he should sit in his White House while we mind our business here.

We will find solutions to our problems, so stay out of our issues. We will not interfere in America’s problems, so leave us alone!"

I think you guys said, you weren't happy with political & economy harmony you were enjoying, and that, you wanted to fight Isreal.

Now, wars (Rwanda & USA) are coming from left and right, so, you will fight them to your satisfaction.

In as much as I hate south’ Africa, but let’s be thoughtful and look at the bigger picture

There’s an ulterior motive and hidden agenda to why Trump suddenly remembers them, it’s because it’s a country where blacks rule over the whites…
White racists don’t care, all they see is black ruling over whites and it irritates them… they feel a black person ought to be below them in all things…
Very primitive uncivilized racists mindsets

Trump is like an overprivileged child who thinks everyone is a slave to his family...!

He will eventually wear himself and America out.

Some of his supporters are already beginning to scratch their heads in embarrassment.

You want to restore America's prestige and greatness by picking quarrels with other sovereign nations!


This is going to be a very long 4 years for Americans. tongue
