Trump also shut down all South African aid, much of which

Summary

Donald Trump signed an executive order prioritizing U.S. resettlement of white South African Afrikaners, claiming they face “government-sponsored race-based discrimination.”

The order also halts U.S. aid to South Africa, much of which supports AIDS programs.

Trump accused the South African government of land seizures and discriminatory policies, though officials deny these claims.

The move marks a reversal of Trump’s prior refugee restrictions and is seen as aligning with right-wing narratives on South Africa.

    I’m guessing white South Africans are very good at producing eggs on the cheap, as President Trump is obviously laser-focused on lowering the price of eggs.

      Well Ya they have a couple hundred years experience forcing people with darker skin do all their labor. So they’ll fit right in

        Are you sure? For example:

        “A single seasoned engineer laser-focused on an arduous problem would trump a team of sloppy inexperienced technicians any day.”

        or more topically:

        “Trump’s trump Elon Musk is laser-focused on fucking up the United States on his behalf.”

        both seem like valid and plausible sentences.

          Well, I was just jesting about Trump, not directing it at you.

          But if you want me to break down what I meant, it was in a general sense of “Trump” as in the current president as the subject and “laser-focused” as an adjective for him, similar to how you used it in the post I was replying to. My point being that the man is completely incapable of being laser-focused. Neither of your follow-up examples fit that.

          I hope that clarifies. : )
