Hi there, everybody. It's four o'clock in New York. Another day for the history books today from Donald J. Trump, an astonishing display from him in the White House. Today, Donald Trump, meeting with the president of South Africa and attempting to ambush and

humiliate that leader inside the Oval Office. But what he did instead was embarrass and humiliate

the people of the United States of America. Again, in his meeting with President Ramaphosa,

Trump peddled unsubstantiated claims of genocide in South

country.

So next Trump asked his staff to dim the lights and roll in a television.

Once the lights were dimmed and the television was there, they played a video that Trump claimed showed evidence of genocide against white farmers.

Times, quote, there have been killings of white South Africans, but police statistics show they

are not killed at a higher rate than other South Africans. And while the South African government

did pass a law permitting the government to take land without compensation, the process is subject

to judicial review. President Ramaphosa did his part to fact check Donald Trump in real time.

He added that he didn't even recognize some of the locations in the video.

Here's what he had to say.
