Summary
Trump announced he would cut U.S. funding to South Africa over alleged human rights violations, echoing Elon Musk’s repeated and false claims that the government discriminates against whites.
Trump appeared to reference South Africa’s new Expropriation Act, which allows land redistribution in certain cases. Musk has falsely accused the country of enabling “genocide” against white farmers.
South African officials denied Trump’s claims and defended the law.
The funding cut could impact $400 million in U.S. aid, including HIV/AIDS programs, and jeopardize South Africa’s AGOA trade benefits.
Especially because moderate means nothing, the left-right spectrum is splintered.
Do you mean people left of Biden who are not communists?
Do you mean idiots between Biden and trump who can’t tell the difference?
Do you mean the liberal “conservatives” who want to keep everything the way it was in Reagan’s time against trump’s fascist coup?
…do you mean European-style liberal/democratic socialists?
PS: I forgot to add the NYT and CNN journalists who pretend that nothing odd is happening.
