Other images displayed by Trump during meeting with South African president Cyril Ramaphosa were false or misleading
The evidence of supposed mass killings of white South Africans presented by Donald Trump in a tense White House meeting on Wednesday were in some cases images from the Democratic Republic of Congo, while footage shown during the meeting was falsely portrayed as depicting “burial sites”.
“These are all white farmers that are being buried,” said Trump, holding up a print-out of an article accompanied by a picture during the contentious Oval Office meeting with South African President Cyril Ramaphosa.
The picture accompanying the article was in fact a screengrab of a video published by Reuters on 3 February and subsequently verified by the news agency’s fact check team, showing humanitarian workers lifting body bags in the Congolese city of Goma. The image was pulled from Reuters footage shot after deadly battles with Rwanda-backed M23 rebels.
Look at my other comment. I said their is a massive violence problem in south Africa. It’s a fact. When you have 25000 killings in a year that is not normal. Children, old women being raped and hacked to death. Anyone for that matter is not OK. You all don’t understand the situation you choose what you want to read, when you have family or friends that have been killed violently let’s talk again. Keep banging at those keyboards. At least my country had the balls to take Israel to the icj. I fucking dare one of you to spend 6 months here, I bet you wouldn’t last a fucking week.

Where did I deny the violence in South Africa? I don’t deny that at all, and I sympathize with your plight as someone in the USA. I’m calling you out for conflating it with genocide, which is a terrible lie being pushed by really shitty people on the right.
