This abomination came as Trump ambushed Ramaphosa by displaying numerous printouts of web pages to illustrate a “genocide” against whites underway in his country. But Reuters now reports that one of the printouts displayed imagery taken from a Reuters video shot in the DRC of humanitarian workers moving dead victims from the war with Rwanda-backed rebels.
Plainly, a hapless Trump aide was tasked with finding web postings about murdered South African white farmers for Trump to wave in Ramaphosa’s face as part of some sort of humiliation ritual—probably dreamed up by Stephen Miller—designed to thrill white nationalists everywhere. As it happens, the video he showed Ramaphosa of crosses designed to depict a killing field full of white corpses also turned out to be a wild distortion.
But there’s something particularly ghoulish about this new Reuters revelation. Trump held aloft what appeared to be a printout of a conservative blog post, which was broadly about Africa (and partly about South Africa as well) and featured a photo image lifted from a Reuters video about the DRC conflict. (Perhaps the aide Googled “white farmers” and “South Africa,” found the blog post with the picture of DRC victims, and printed it for Trump to cite as imagery of dead white Afrikaners?)
Indeed, just before Trump took over, a State Department report declared that it was prioritizing the resettlement of large numbers of refugees from that conflict, describing it as a “complex emergency” that has “intensified.”
What’s more, according to the United Nations, Trump’s cuts have “severely impacted” humanitarian efforts in DRC. Jeremy Konyndyk, president of Refugees International, argues that these are taking a toll on victims of the conflict there: The cuts, he says, “affected services for people displaced by the fighting, including emergency food aid, clean water, shelter, and emergency malnutrition support.”
“Trump has slashed programs supporting the victims,” Konyndyk said. “He has cut off refugee resettlement, leaving no escape valve for people displaced by that conflict. Then he uses an image of that conflict to promote his false narrative about South Africa. It’s absolutely grotesque.”
Yet Democratic aides on the Senate Foreign Relations Committee tell me they’ve asked the State Department for details on the number of Afrikaners who have applied to come to the United States, and have not received an answer. Is there really an ongoing groundswell of white Afrikaners clamoring to come here, or did the administration have to work hard to find white victims willing to be resettled? We’ll soon find out.
Trump, Miller and White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt don’t use this precise language. But they constantly describe white South Africans as a “persecuted minority”—even as they taunt us with their refusal to settle genuine victims of mass persecution from the rest of Africa, Asia, the Americas, and the Middle East. The flaunting of this contrast is itself the intended message.
The not-so-coded message is that the only victims of mass historical crimes who exist or merit our attention are white victims of nonwhites. All the rest will be summarily erased as matters of concern to us. The unabashed declaration of the power to replace actual historical crimes with mythological ones—ones featuring whites as world historical victims—is the main event here.
You couldn’t ask for a clearer illustration of this than the transformation of victims in a genuine humanitarian horror in central Africa—ones we are slamming the door on—into phony evidence of an imaginary genocide against white South Africans—ones who are getting welcomed into our country by Trump with open arms.
