One year ago today, I watched in complete disbelief as @POTUS confronted Cyril Ramaphosa right here in the White House Oval Office.
I never expected what happened next. I, and many of us, never saw it coming, but it was glorious. A moment etched into each one of us forever. President Trump pulled off the greatest exposé I have ever seen. He dimmed the lights, played the videos of “Kill the Boer, Kill the Farmer” chants, flipped through the reports of death after death, and laid bare the brutal reality of what White farmers in South Africa are facing every single day.
I was shocked to my core. Shocked that a sitting US President would stand up so boldly for us when so many others look away or deny the truth. But more than that, I am deeply grateful. Deeply grateful that President Trump refused to fall for Cyril’s lies and empty denials. Cyril came armed with his White delegation; Steenhuisen, Ernie Els, and Johan Rupert, thinking they could back him up and smooth things over. It didn’t work.
And a special well done to Retief Goosen for his bravery in speaking out about the real challenges White farmers endure; the fear, the attacks, the fences, the murdered friends and family. That took real courage in that room.
That moment breathed new life into White South Africans who have felt abandoned and alone for far too long. For decades we have been gaslit by our own government, ignored by the international community, and left to face the farm murders and expropriation threats in silence. President Trump’s stand shattered that isolation. It reminded us that we are not forgotten, that the truth about the targeting of White farmers can still break through the lies, and that real leadership can put the spotlight exactly where it belongs. It gave us renewed hope, renewed determination, and the strength to keep going.
Thank you, President Trump. You stood for us when our own government wouldn’t. We will never, ever forget it. 🙏 🇺🇸 We will never, ever forget YOU.
