I have loved traveling to South Africa several times, all after apartheid had ended. The people I have met have all been lovely, accepting of white people. Trump is, again, spreading undocumented stories which have been foisted on him home grown white supremecists like Duke and Carlson.

Naturally, Trump brings up the "white genocide" myth while seated next to the South African president.
"We take from many locations, if we feel there's persecution or genocide going on... generally they're white farmers and they're fleeing South Africa, and it's a very sad thing to see."
