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.

    If you really want to understand what he’s saying I suggest you read up on South African history. Or go the easier route and listen to the podcast “History of South Africa” by Des Latham which you can find, for example, on Spotify. Your line of questioning and the downvotes on that comment are a display of ignorance. It was simply a statement of facts, no questioning of Elon being an incarnate turd.

      Yeah that’s why I was trying to ask objective questions to ensure I understood what qualifiers exist and what doesnt fall into them. My feelings towards Musk don’t depict what I think of other South Africans. That would just be cruel.
