A tense exchange erupted during a White House briefing as Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt defended Donald Trump's controversial video shown to South African President Cyril Ramaphosa. NBC's Yamiche Alcindor challenged the clipâs accuracy, saying it falsely portrayed a genocide of white farmers. The video featured dozens of crosses, allegedly representing slain farmersâthough Alcindor noted they honored a single couple. Leavitt pushed back, claiming white South Africans are being killed and persecuted due to race. The moment underscores rising tensions around Trumpâs rhetoric on race and global narratives.

South African President Cyril Ramaphosa firmly rejected Donald Trumpâs âwhite genocideâ claims, declaring, âThere is no genocide in South Africa.â The rebuttal followed a tense White House meeting where Trump presented graphic material to support his allegations. Ramaphosa, visibly upset, requested the footage be stopped. Trumpâs claims come after granting asylum to 59 white South Africans. Ramaphosa emphasized that violence in South Africa affects all races and warned against equating current issues with the apartheid-era struggle.

South African President Cyril Ramaphosa stole the spotlight with a sharply delivered remark that left world leadersâand social mediaâbuzzing. In what appeared to be a cheeky jab at the recent headlines around Qatar gifting a private jet to Donald Trump, Ramaphosa quipped during a diplomatic exchange: âI donât even have a plane to give!â
The unexpected comment, made in Trump's presence, was met with laughter and raised eyebrows at the high-level event. While Qatarâs controversial gesture drew criticism and praise across political lines, Ramaphosaâs unfiltered response added a bold twist to the narrative.

On May 21, 2025, South African President Cyril Ramaphosa met with U.S. President Donald Trump in the Oval Office, where the discussion took an unexpected turn. Trump confronted Ramaphosa with unverified footage alleging a "white genocide" in South Africa, a claim that has been widely debunked by South African officials and international observers. The incident was reminiscent of a previous confrontation between Trump and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky, leading some to speculate that Ramaphosa had successfully navigated a potential diplomatic crisis.

During a heated press conference, Trump Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt stunned reporters by calling a question from journalist Jasmine Wright âstupid.â Wright had asked whether Trump supports peaceful protests at his upcoming birthday military parade.

During a fiery White House press briefing, Fox News correspondent Alexandria Hoff pressed Trump Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt with a provocative question: âDoes the president see himself as a king?â Hoff was referencing the upcoming âNo Kings Dayâ protest planned for Trumpâs birthday military parade, aimed at criticizing ICE raids and authoritarian optics. Leavitt, unfazed, dismissed the premise as âabsurdâ and reaffirmed Trumpâs respect for the Constitution. She also slammed Democrats for politicizing American symbols and defended the parade as a âcelebration of freedom, not royalty.â

Elon Musk's resignation from the Trump administration's Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) has ignited a firestorm on social media, with many questioning his American citizenship. Despite being a naturalized U.S. citizen since 2002, Musk's South African birth has led to renewed scrutiny over his national identity and role in U.S. governance. Musk announced his departure via his platform, X, after a 130-day tenure aimed at reducing federal spending. His exit followed public criticism of President Trump's "big beautiful bill," which Musk argued would exacerbate the federal deficit, undermining DOGE's objectives.

South African billionaire Johann Rupert publicly dismissed U.S. President Donald Trump's claims of a "white genocide" targeting white farmers in South Africa. Rupert stated the killings are not racially motivated but stem from deep-rooted poverty, rampant gang violence, and unchecked illegal immigration. He emphasized that all communities are affected, not just white farmers. Calling for technological and political intervention, Rupert urged Elon Musk and Trump to help address the crisis constructively, instead of fueling divisive narratives with misleading labels.
