    yeah, this is pretty much misleading. look up what is happening in South Africa right now, and you'll find the policy makes a bit more sense than just "Trump is cray cray"

    Terrible stuff is happening to people in lots of countries. I'm sure Trump doesn't want to prioritize white European blood refugees or anything like that. I'm sure he doesn't think for a moment we need to start sending back those pet eating Haitians, and nasty culture types, and bring in those unfairly treated European blood folks, and hope they make lots of white babies. Now that would sound racist, and Trump doesn't have a racist bone in his body. Just like I'm sure buying the Gaza strip and ethnically cleansing out those Palestinians, to and make it beautiful will help has nothing to do with racism or Trump's eyes on his next investment venture. Im just wondering how any of this stuff helps Americans in need.

    The CBS headline is fair and the article I think provides reasonable context for people to draw their own conclusions. The second article is about Trump wondering why we aren't bringing in more people from the "nice" countries (like Norway, Switzerland, and Denmark):


    “I said [in 2018], you know, ‘Why can’t we allow people to come in from nice countries, I’m trying to be nice,’” he continued, to reported chuckles from the crowd. “Nice countries, you know like Denmark, Switzerland? Do we have any people coming in from Denmark? How about Switzerland? How about Norway?”

    Hmm...



    "Why would we want to go? There hasn't been anything really bad... taking over of land. People have been carrying on like normal."

    Almost like they're "Virtue(less)" Signaling for Proud Boys, etc.

    "without providing evidence" should be the theme of the Trump Presidency.

    The Afrikaners will be shocked at the cost of living in the US.


    [Reuters] First white South Africans arrive in US as Trump claims they face discrimination

    The Trump administration welcomed on Monday 59 white South Africans it granted refugee status in the U.S., having deemed them victims of racial discrimination, while drawing criticism from Democrats and stirring confusion in South Africa.

    U.S. President Donald Trump has blocked mostly non-white refugee admissions from the rest of the world but in February offered to resettle Afrikaners, the descendants of mostly Dutch settlers, saying they faced discrimination.

    Asked on Monday why white South Africans were being prioritized above the victims of famine and war elsewhere in Africa, Trump said, without providing evidence, that Afrikaners were being killed.

    “It's a genocide that's taking place," Trump told reporters at the White House, going further than he has previously in echoing right-wing tropes about their alleged persecution.

    He was not favoring Afrikaners because they are white, Trump said, adding that their race "makes no difference to me."

    South Africa maintains there is no evidence of persecution and that claims of a "white genocide" in the country, echoed, opens new tab by Trump's white South African-born ally Elon Musk, have not been backed up by evidence.
