President Donald Trump dove into South Africa’s thorny racial politics Wednesday night, announcing on Twitter that he ordered his top diplomat to look into attacks on white farmers and Pretoria’s plans for land redistribution.
“I have asked Secretary of State [Pompeo] to closely study the South Africa land and farm seizures and expropriations and the large scale killing of farmers,” Trump wrote.
“South African Government is now seizing land from white farmers,” he added, tagging Fox News host Tucker Carlson.
Trump sent his surprise tweet following an airing of Carlson’s show, which featured a segment on South Africa’s impending plan to seize land from white landowners and redistribute it to poor black farmers.

It just goes to show you what kind of a racist that he is, didn't you know that? If it were the other way around, he'd be mute.
Actually, I've been following this for months. I have a South African friend who has family still there and they are very worried indeed.
Obviously you choose not to see all the things he has done for blacks in the past and present.
If you’re insinuating that Trump is a racist you’re a damn fool I don’t know who you are because you hide under that name and because of my job I won’t disclose mine to you on this site but I certainly well to Joe or to you personally but you are a complete and utter moron. You don’t have the first clue about anything in South Africa and you’ve lied about having friends there.If you were following things then you would’ve also made a comment on sure about how Trump supports the NRA and the Safari club international well guess what Safari club international Has a huge role in all of Africa. Tons of people that are very well known in America, business owners travel over there and other people to don’t get me wrong but if you notice anything it’s not poor people that are going over there and spending money to hunt it’s people that have real money. All of the higher ups go hunting in Africa it’s not just having to do with the fact it’s white farmers it has to do with everyone else and their livelihood to the Americans that go there to hunt feed entire villages because it’s illegal to bring the meat back to the states they also pay astronomical amounts to the people that own these farms and yes there are black owners that are hunted on over there constantly. It has nothing to do with black-and-white it all has to do with the mighty dollar bill.
Apparently you two don't recognize sarcasm when you read it. Wow. Just wow! I'm a Trump guy to the bone just for your information. I'm a gun loving, motorcycle riding, veteran and all around American. And, I do have a South African friend who has parent in South Africa still.
Anyone who has read any of my other posts, and there are many, knows that I am in no way a tree hugger.
By the way Ace, thank you for your comments and I appreciate you putting them out there. It is the American way, you can say what you want even if it's wrong.
