  4. I watched that exchange.

    Trump definitely is suffering from some kind of cognitive issue.

    He’s super aggressive with everyone and everything he says is pre prepared.

  5. No plane? That is ridiculous.

    Here, take your chainsaw wielding illegal immigrant back. The US can gobble up all of his assets through civil asset forfieture like we do the others. Deficit solved.

  6. >“I wish I had a plane to give you,” a seemingly exasperated Ramaphosa said at one point. 

    >“I wish you did. I would take it,” Trump responded. “If your country offered the United States Air Force a plane, I would take it.” 

    Looks like Trump actuality told the truth for once

  7. >Others in the room seemed baffled by the ambush and complaint session Trump had orchestrated at the meeting.

    That’s his thing.

  8. “I wish I had a plane to give you,” a seemingly exasperated Ramaphosa said at one point. 

    “I wish you did. I would take it,” Trump responded. “If your country offered the United States Air Force a plane, I would take it.”  -Trump

    Somebody come get grandpa he’s off his meds again.

  9. ***From Rolling Stone’s Nikki McCann Ramirez:***

    President Donald Trump spent much of Wednesday’s Oval Office meeting with South African President Cyril Ramaphosa rambling about disproven claims and conspiracy theories that white South African farmers are the victims of a genocide. Ramaphosa was not interested in indulging Trump’s delusions about his country.

  11. Man, I like this Ramaphosa dude already!

    Ramaphosa for POTUS 2028 !

  13. This plane thing is insane. It’s obviously corrupt, and we’re getting called out for it.

    A reminder for the future. Qatar is the person doing the bribing. They are obviously harming our democracy and we need to treat them like the enemy of our democracy they are acting like.

  15. I like it. Troll the troll. 

    “Sorry Mr. Twump sir. We are a poor country with very little resources. We have no plane to offer, but we offer you personally all our gold and all our minerals. You can fuck my wife. Please sir. Please! We beg you!”

    Do it in a sarcastic tone in front of all the cameras in the Oval Office. Be as childish as possible. That’s how you fight this madness, play into it, then double down. Fight chaos with chaos.

  17. The meeting is absolutely horrendous.

    Trump is insane.

  18. YoI know how Trump broke all these norms and decided he could just decide to skip all the primary debates, don’t do correspondence dinners, and so on.

    From now on, foreign governments need to just ducking stop doing public appearances with Trump. Just like we keep yelling at the press to stop treating Trump and his admin as if they are making any kind of good faith communication? Well that goes double for world leaders.

    So done with this disrespectful shit. No more leaders in TV with Trump. No more ambushes and press sprays where they have to sit there and pretend like Trump is some kind of honest broker, as if the whole goal is not trying to find viral moments for his domestic MAGA propaganda.

    It’s all he cares about, so stop giving it to him.

  19. I was watching the interview, expecting it to be the ambush it was. I don’t think I’ve ever done an actual spit take before that.

  20. Its pathetic how our president is so fucking blatantly corrupt that other countries are openly mocking us for it. Just genuinely horrific

  21. Great comeback! Everyone should call Yam Tits out on his BS

  22. So this is what being “Presidential” is all about? Thank goodness South Africa is teaching us how to lead.

  23. Well done. Treating that coward traitor worthless scumbag trump as the inferior cockroach that he is.

  25. The GOP is just going to let this big orange pos continue to embarrass us, huh? There’s no low too low.

  26. The whole ‘people are dying & you’re going on about some plane!’ faux outrage from Trump is just jaw dropping. This is the lowest. Even for Trump.

    This prez was ambushed.

  27. Dude danced circles around that idiot Trump. Every time Dementia Don tried to use one of his fake talking points the South African delegation not only debunked him but truly made him look stupid.

  29. I wish the president of South Africa would give a one way airline ticket back home to fElon Musk.

  30. Trump clearly showed his racist side today during which he used faux news reports to promote his already disproven genocide theory. Robbery is the primary motive in farm killings and white farmer deaths are a tiny % of the murder rate in SA, the primary victims being poor black males living in poverty stricken townships

  31. How long until Trump is willing to give states over to other countries in exchange for a personal gift for himself?

    If another country leader joked “We’ll give you this 500 million dollar plane for your personal use but you have to give us the entirety of California.”

    He probably would seriously consider it. California is woke anyway, right?

  33. And Trump’s reply was basically “And that’s why we are in this situation. If you had a plane, you could just buy me.”.

  34. Another day, another national embarrassment from Trump.

  35. Ah…the sweet song of alienating everyone.

    I am sure The USA will need help in the future, but who will give a monkeys?

    Isolationism is bliss, until it isn’t.

  36. Call bullshit out to its face. Props to the pres of SA on this.

  37. Lmao such a South African response….Vat hom vir n poes brah🤣

  38. I wish someone would ask Trump why he and his constituents are freaking out over a supposed white genocide while willfully funding a real brown one.

    Like hmm….you’ve pushed back on multiple accusations of racism so I have to ask, since you’re not racist, when it comes to which group of people that you prefer to be eradicated, what led you to your decision?

  39. When Cyril can jab at you about corruption – you know you’re cooked

  40. Get this POS out of office, how can any American sit back watch this guy & think he’s great??? Such a putz!!!

  41. The South African President just roasted your President in the White House, while wearing a suit.

    Damn, the US getting massively respected around the world ”again.” Trump is making you guys so great ”again.”

  42. Trump really is the personification of almost every possible toxic human trait. He’s a degenerate shitbag.

  43. What a joke. Sits there, embarrassing the South African government with a disproven propaganda video. Claims South African blacks are stealing land off white farmers. Yet gives Netanyahu big hugs for bombing and starving out Gazans in the tens of thousands, and doesn’t mention the issue of illegal Jewish settlement.

    Not racist at all.

    Such an embarrassment for America. You’re run by a QAnon conspiracy theorist, and has surrounded himself with a bunch of nut jobs with similar beliefs.

    Utter embarrassment. You need to legally remove him from office before he utterly destroys relations with all but a handful of dictators.

  45. Your president is an embarrassment to your nation. Anyway, goodnight.

  46. I recall countless times MAGA claimed that since he’s wealthy, he was above corruption as he couldn’t be bought. 
    Now he’s arguing “yes, I can be bought.” 

  47. Trying to embarrass my homeland. Makes me hate trump even more. This was a power play. How many lives has trump killed and it’s not talked about? Many. At least Julius says it out loud. No mention of apartheid. I’d like to see Mr Felon get locked up on an island for 27 years. He wouldn’t last a month. Stop doing business with colonizers. How about the graveyards of all the blacks that were killed? How about the 5,000 school children that were killed? The hypocrisy infuriates me.

  48. Did Trump even understand that burn when it happened? I doubt he has the mental faculty to get such a comment. He certainly lacks the shame to feel it.
