Watch: President Trump clashes with South African President Ramaphosa in Oval Office meeting

Mr. President, this time what does it take from you for you to be convinced that there’s no white genocide in South Africa? Well, I can answer that for president for him. No, seriously. I’d rather have him answer. Yeah, I know the answer. It will be our president will respond to you. Thank you, Mr. President. And it will take President Trump listening to the voices of South Africans, some of whom are his good friends like those who are here. When we have talks between us on the quiet at a quiet table, it will take President Trump to listen to them. I’m not going to be repeating what I’ve been saying. I would say if there was Africana farmer genocide, I can bet you these three gentlemen would not be here, including my minister of agriculture. He would not be with me. So it’ll take him, President Trump listening to their stories, to their perspective. That is the answer to your question. But Mr. President I must say we have no no wait uh we have thousands of stories talking about it and we have documentaries we have news stories and that is Natalie here somebody here to turn that I I could show you a couple of things and I would I just I have to it has to be responded to let me see the articles please if you would and turn excuse me turn the lights down turn the lights down and just put this on. It’s right behind you. Johan, there’s nothing this parliament can do. With or without you, people are going to occupy land. We require no permission from you, from the president, from no one. We don’t care. We can do whatever you want to do. Who are you to tell us whether we can occupy land or not? We are going to occupy land. South Africa occupy land. That’s who we are. with my membership from this party. Never be scared to kill a revolution demand that at some point there must be killing because the killing is part of an evolutional act. Shoot to kill the mother. Kill the poor farmer. Good. The poor, the [Music] former, the man of DJ in PE is a white man. So these people when you want to heal their heart go under a white man. They feel a terrible pain because you have touched a white man. Not because and will not be touched. They will be touched. No one. But we are standing with this whiteness. We are cutting the throat of whiteness in Ghana. to kill your man. Kill the blue one. The farmer. Kill the blue one. The farmer. Shoot to kill. Come on sir. Kill the poor. The farmer. Kill the poor. The farmer. [Applause] poor po I I don’t know what’s going to happen in the future. I’m saying to you was not called for the killing of white people at least for now. I can’t see the future. And you understand something watching that especially as it gets shared on Twitter. It makes freak out. It sounds like a motorcycle. [Music] So [Music] Shah [Music] expropriate left without compensation whether they like it or not. If they object they can seek refugee in America. Now this is very bad. These are the these are burial sites right here. Burial sites over a thousand of white farmers. And those cars are lined up to pay love on a Sunday morning. Each one of those white things you see is a cross. And there’s approximately a thousand of them. They’re all white farmers, the family of white farmers. And those cars aren’t uh driving. They’re stopped there to pay respects to their family member who was killed. Uh and it’s a terrible sight. I’ve never seen anything like it. Both sides of the road you have crosses. Those people are all killed. Have they told you where that is, Mr. President? No. I’d like to know where that is because this I’ve never seen. But don’t Okay. I mean, it’s in South Africa this week. We need to find [Music] out those people. [Music] Okay, Mr. President, the Pentagon announced that it would be accepting a Qatari jet to be used as Air Force One. What are you talking about? What are you talking about? You know, you to get out of here. What does this have to do with the Qatara jet? Uh, they’re giving the United States Air Force a jet. Okay. And it’s a great thing. We’re talking about a lot of other things. this NBC trying to get off the subject of what you just saw. You are a real, you know, you’re a terrible reporter. Number one, you you don’t have what it takes to be a reporter. You’re not smart enough. But for you to go on to a subject about a a jet that was given to the United States Air Force, which is a very nice thing, they also gave $5.1 trillion worth of investment in addition to the jet. go back uh you ought to go back to your studio at NBC because uh Brian Roberts and the people that run that place, they ought to be investigated. They are so terrible the way you run that network and you’re a disgrace. No more questions from you. Go ahead. [Music] Go ahead. Talk about that. His name is Peter something. He’s a terrible reporter. Quiet. Quiet. Let’s go. Thank you so much President Trump and it was last from ENCA in South Africa. Thank you very much. Thank you very much. Uh what would you like President Ramapoa to do about the situation that we’ve just seen on the screen? I don’t know. Uh or look these are articles over the last few days. Uh death of people death. Death. Horrible death. Death. I don’t know to pick anyone. White South Africans are fleeing because of the violence and racist laws. And this is all I mean I’ll give these to you. So when you when you say what would I like to do? I don’t know what to do. Look at this. White South African couples say that they were attacked violently. And President Trump, when will you go and see for yourself if it is? Well, I could do that. Look, here’s burial sites all over the place. They’re all These are all white farmers that are being buried. And he asks about a jet that was given. You ought to be ashamed of yourself. You know, you’re you are so bad. You’re such a bad reporter. President Trump, this is one after another. This family was wiped out. I I’m just looking. Can we get over your reaction to those videos, Mr. President? Well, I think it’s I think the videos are so No, no. When you look at the videos, I mean, how does it get worse and these are people that are officials and they’re saying that kill the white farmer and take their land? That’s what And I have other friends in South Africa. I have people that left. One in particular that says it’s you you can’t go there. He said they want to take your land. They take your land and they kill you. It’s okay. And they say it’s okay to do. Now I we we’re going to talk about it. But this is a tremendous look. This is story recent. These are all people that recently got killed. Yeah. And I don’t know how it can get any worse. These are And you know the man that you saw, the men that you saw, the people that you saw on that movie, those are officials. Those are people that were in office. They had one march. They had a dance in your parliament, whatever you may call it, legislature. Let me clarify that. Let me clarify that because what you saw the speeches that were being made, one that is not government policy. We have a multi-party democracy in South Africa that allows people to express themselves, political parties to adhere to various policies and in many cases or in some cases those policies do not go along with government policy. Our government policy is completely completely against what he was saying even in the parliament and they a small minority party which is allowed to exist in terms of our constitution but you do allow them to take land. No no no you do allow them to take land. Nobody can and then when they take the land they kill the white farmer and when they kill the white farmer nothing happens to them. No, there is quite nothing happens to them. There is criminality in our country. People who do get killed unfortunately through criminal activity are not only white people. Majority of them are black people. And we have now the farmers are not black. The farmers are not black. I don’t say that’s good or bad, but the farmers are not black. and the people that are being killed in large numbers and you saw all those grave sites and those are people that loved ones going I guess on a Sunday morning they told me to pay respect to their loved ones that were killed their heads chopped off their they died died violently and you know I mean we’re here to talk about it and I didn’t know we’d get involved here but I will say this that if the news wasn’t fake like NBC which is fake news. Totally. One of the worst. ABC, NBC, CBS. Horrible. But if they weren’t fake news, like this jerk uh that we have here. If we had real reporters, they’d be covering it. But the fake news in this country doesn’t talk about that. They don’t want to talk about it. But now they have to talk about it. But they won’t. This won’t even be a subject. They’ll have him talking about why did uh a country give a free think of this. Why did a country give an airplane to the United States Air Force? Okay, the United States, not to me, to the United States Air Force so they could help us out because we need an Air Force One until our that’s Air Force One. It’s being built. Two of them being built. But Boeing’s a little bit late, unfortunately. So, why did they give us a plane to the United States Air Force? That’s what that idiot talks about after viewing a thing where thousands of people are dead. I’m I’m sorry. I don’t have a plane to give you. I would I wish you did. I take it. I would take it. If your country offered the United States Air Force a plane, I would take it. Okay. But coming back to to this issue, which I really would like us to talk about and talk about it very calmly. We were taught by Nelson Mandela that whenever there are problems, people need to sit down around a table and talk about them. Well, there and this is precisely what we would also like to talk about including of course trade matters, investment matters. So the issues that concern you as the United States, those are all recent and those are all deaths. Yeah. In many ways, I mean one one should say you are a partner partner of South Africa and you are raising concerns and these are concerns that we are willing to talk to you about. Let me just add quickly, you know, the criminality that we are expect experiencing in our country needs quite a lot of technological uh capability and uh in one of our areas in in South Africa, we’re using US technology which is able to in many ways identify where shootings are happening and all that. And I’d like to talk about that because there is support that we can get from you and the United States to help us deal with all these acts of criminality. And that is what I believe partnership is all about. And we are here as a partner so that we can help each other uh whenever there are challenges. So I’d like us to discuss it and of course outside of the media so that we sit down and have a really good discussion that will lead to good outcomes. Are there any other punitive measures that could be in place should you not be satisfied that South Africa is fixing some of the very bad things that you tweeted are happening? Well, there are a lot of bad things happening in, you know, many countries, but this in particular has been very, very bad. Very bad. And because of, you know, we’re going to whole have the whole world watching in another short period of time because you have the G 20. And that’s a big deal. And it seems, it seems like I mean, I want you to look good. I I don’t want you to look bad. Very good. But you we have hundreds of people, thousands of people trying to come into our country because they feel they’re going to be killed and their land is going to be confiscated. And you do have laws that were passed that gives you the right to confiscate land for no payment. You can take away land for no payment. I want to clarify that because we have a constitution. Our constitution guarantees and protects the sanctity of tenure of land ownership. And that constitution protects all South Africans with regard to land ownership. However, we do say because we’ve got to deal with the past, the government and as your government also has the right to expropriate land for public use and you’re doing that and uh what we we’ve never really gotten underway with that and we we are going to be doing that. You’re taking you’re taking people’s land away. We have not from them. We have. And those people in many cases are being executed. They’re being executed and they happen to be white and most of them happen to be farmers. And that’s a tough situation. I don’t know how you explain that. How do you explain that? They’re taking people’s land away. And in many cases, those people are being executed. And in many cases, it’s not the government that’s suing, it’s people that kill them and then take their land and nothing happens to them. But we have thousands of people that want to come into our country. They’re also going to Australia in a smaller number, but we have thousands of people that want to come into our country and they’re white farmers and they feel that uh they’re going to die in South Africa and it’s a bad thing. Yeah. G20. What can South Africa do? What concessions would you like to see them make to uh improve relations with the United States? Then I have one more for President Ramaposa afterwards. Well, you know, we just spoke about I got them a very very complex machine 150 of them and I was asked by the president if it could help and I did that and uh you know I have great feeling for all countries. I look I deal with all countries. Uh but I have a great feeling for South Africa because I have friends. I have a couple of friends, a few friends here today. I have many friends from South Africa, but many of those friends are uh are not they can’t go back. I have Elon is from South Africa. I don’t want to get Elon involved. That’s all I have to do. Get him into another thing. But Elon happens to be from South Africa. This is what Elon wanted. He actually came here on a different subject. Sending rockets to Mars. Okay. He likes that better. He likes that subject better. That’s right. But Elon is from South Africa and I I don’t want to talk to him about that. I don’t want to I don’t think it’s fair to him. That’s right. But I will say that uh people are fleeing South Africa for their own safety. Their land is being confiscated and in many cases they’re being killed. And that scene of you see how many crosses they have. Those crosses that’s a dead person in every one of them. and those trucks or cars are paying their respects to all of those dead people on a Sunday morning. That’s a that’s a rough that’s a rough thing to explain away. And the problem we have and and the way you know a correct and a fair media exposes things, but we have a very corrupt media. They won’t even report this. If this were the other way around, it would be the biggest story. Now I will say apartheid terrible that was the biggest story that was reported all the time. This is sort of the opposite of apartheid. Uh what’s happening now is never reported. Nobody knows about it. All we know is we’re being inundated with people with white farmers from South Africa. And uh it’s a big problem. Marco Rubio was telling me he’s never seen anything like it. the the numbers of people that want to leave South Africa because they feel they’re going to be dead very
