Rhyming News: Trump and Musk's "white genocide" scam

South African investigative journalist Richard Poplak explains the unedifying spectacle of Trump ambushing South African president Cyril Ramaphosa on live TV with ridiculous lies.
Donald Trump, in his newly-redecorated dictator-kitsch Oval Office with lots of gold tchotchkes, tries to ritually humiliate a group of black men, probably in order to distract his poor white followers from noticing that their health care is being taken away.

Richard Poplak is a South African investigative journalist, author, and filmmaker who was the guest on the second episode of Rhyming Chaos, How to loot a country: Lessons for the U.S. from South Africa.

He returns to answer my questions about the absurd “white genocide” story currently being propagated by Elon Musk, Donald Trump, and other bigots, and what real South Africans think of the 59 people who came to the United States invited by the Trump administration as “refugees” from the fake “white genocide.”
