While the legacy media continues to bury the truth, President Donald Trump is calling it like it is: white farmers in South Africa are being hunted, attacked, and driven off their land—and the press refuses to talk about it.
During a signing ceremony at the White House on Monday, just before leaving for the Middle East, Trump spoke bluntly about the brutal situation facing farmers in South Africa and the disgraceful silence of the mainstream press.
“It’s a genocide that’s taking place that you people don’t want to write about, but it’s a terrible thing that’s taking place, and farmers are being killed,” Trump said in the Roosevelt Room.
“They happen to be white, but whether they’re white or black makes no difference to me.”
The president’s words come as his administration begins welcoming Afrikaner refugees—white South Africans who have been targeted for land theft, violent attacks, and racial discrimination by the African National Congress (ANC) government.
For years now, South African politicians—many of them celebrated by the Western Left—have been pushing land seizure programs and encouraging violence against white farmers.
But the corporate media doesn’t seem to care.
“White farmers are being brutally killed, and their land is being confiscated in South Africa, and the newspapers and the media — television media — doesn’t even talk about it,” Trump said.
“If it were the other way around, they’d talk about it. That would be the only story they’d talk about.”
He’s not wrong. If this kind of systemic violence and land theft were happening to a minority group elsewhere, the headlines would be nonstop. But because the victims are white, Christian, and conservative-leaning, the outrage has been muted—if not entirely silenced.
As always, the Left tries to paint Trump as racially motivated. But once again, the president made it clear that this is about justice, not identity.
“And I don’t care who they are, I don’t care about their race, their color, I don’t care about their height, their weight. I don’t care about anything,” Trump said.
“I just know that what’s happening is terrible.”
Trump’s position is consistent with his broader immigration policy: America will offer refuge to those facing real persecution—not just those looking for handouts. And in this case, Afrikaners are facing clear and present danger from radical anti-white policies in their home country.
Secretary of State Marco Rubio echoed the president’s comments later that day on social media, saying the U.S. must take a stand against this injustice.
“As [Trump] assured, Afrikaners fleeing persecution are welcome in the United States,” Rubio wrote on X.
“The South African government has treated these people terribly — threatening to steal their private land and subjected them to vile racial discrimination. The Trump Administration is proud to offer them refuge in our great country.”
This is a bold move from an administration that refuses to be cowed by media pressure or leftist outrage. It’s also a powerful signal to persecuted people around the world: America sees your suffering—no matter your skin color.
While the press turns a blind eye, the administration is paying close attention to what’s really happening in South Africa. At Dulles Airport, where refugees from South Africa arrived on Monday, Breitbart News reporter Olivia Rondeau was on the scene.
She asked Deputy Secretary of State Chris Landau to explain what triggered the administration’s decision to intervene.
“Several very vociferous South African politicians [have been] repeating things like ‘Kill the boer, kill the Afrikaner,’” Landau explained.
“These people have been living under a shadow of violence and terror for some time now.”
This isn’t just rhetoric. These threats have been followed by real acts of violence—home invasions, murders, and politically backed land seizures. And with their government turning a blind eye—or even encouraging it—Afrikaner families have nowhere left to turn.
While other Western nations hesitate, President Trump is taking action. His administration is opening the door to refugees who truly need protection, while keeping out those who abuse the system or pose a threat to American values.
And the media? They’re too busy smearing Trump or chasing the latest distraction to care about the very real persecution happening in South Africa.
But Trump isn’t backing down.
He’s standing up for the voiceless—even when they’re not politically convenient. That’s leadership. That’s America First.
