“They’ve got some very bad things going on in South Africa,” #Trump goes on a #ConspiracyTheory based tangent when he outlines the reciprocal tariff against that nation. Trump & #Musk have repeatedly amplified false claims about the persecution of #white Afrikaners in #SouthAfrica, & made an exception to his refugee ban to screen Afrikaners for #refugee status. Trump included in his tangent a typical criticism of the #media for how it covers South Africa.
