Burying the lede a bit here, Trump spent that whole meeting talking about Afrikaner genocide and said that that was what Elon (who was present) wanted.
White South Africans are about 7-8% of the population, and they own the vast majority of urban and agricultural land, and black people are more likely to report being victims of violent crimes.
All in all, Trump is lying yet again.
South Africa is a pretty violent place, but the odds of being better off go up substantially if you have a lot less melanin in your skin cells.
I don’t even think he’s lying here. I mean, what he’s saying is not true, but he seems genuinely convinced that it is true. It’s very hard to change anyone’s mind about anything.

To be fair, confidently lying is kind of his brand.
Unless it’s about a crime he’s involved in. Then he’s a machine that spits out I don’t know, we need to learn more, etc.
This seems like a meaningless distinction for someone who has access to the intelligence apparatus of the American empire lol
Yeah I hear he doesn’t go to those meetings or they gotta have pictures to keep his attention or something.
So he’s not lying he’s just plain wrong?
Yeah. I think lying requires intent. He has done plenty of lying. This was just a simple musing anyway, not trying to defend the piece of shit.
