Trump’s ‘White Genocide’ Lie: How We Know It’s Total Bullshit”
Donald Trump’s claims of a “white genocide” in South Africa is the latest, and biggest lie Trump has spread, and that is a really high bar. Nevertheless, the MAGAnites have been eating up. How do we know this was a just another pile of bullshit spread by the biggest bullshitter in the history of politics, Donald J. Trump? Here are the facts:
Crime Statistics Do Not Support the “Genocide” Claim
Farm murders are a tiny fraction of overall violence: In 2024, South Africa recorded 26,232 murders, with only 44 linked to farming communities, of which 8 were white farmers. White farmers make up less than 1% of total murder victims. Most victims are Black: South Africa has one of the world’s highest murder rates, but the vast majority of victims are Black South Africans, not white farmers.
He Misrepresented Visual “Evidence”
White crosses video: Trump showed footage of white crosses along a highway, claiming they marked graves of murdered farmers. In reality, these were symbolic protest markers from a 2020 demonstration after the killing of a white couple—not mass graves.
Falsified images: Trump displayed a photo of body bags from the Democratic Republic of Congo, falsely presenting it as evidence of white farmer killings in South Africa.
Land Expropriation Claims Are Exaggerated
No mass confiscations:
While South Africa passed a law in January 2025 allowing land expropriation for public interest, no land has been seized without compensation. The policy aims to address apartheid-era inequalities, not target white farmers. Land ownership remains unequal: White South Africans (7.8% of the population) own 72% of farmland, while Black South Africans (80% of the population) own just 4% .
Political Context: Far-Right Conspiracy Theory
Origins in “Great Replacement” rhetoric: The “white genocide” myth aligns with a global far-right conspiracy theory (promoted by Douchebags like Elon Musk and Tucker Carlson) that falsely claims white populations are being deliberately replaced.
Conclusion
The “white genocide” narrative relies on cherry-picked anecdotes, misrepresented data, and debunked visuals. South African officials, courts, and independent analysts uniformly reject it as a false and dangerous distortion of the country’s complex crime and land reform challenges. Trump’s claims serve his political agendas rather than factual reality. What a dick
