he's such a fucking embarrassment

Mad King Donny ambushes South Africa's President Ramaphosa

at this point, you have to wonder why any world leader would agree to an Oval Office meeting with Little Donny Fuckface. there's just no way of knowing what you're in for.

at best, you'll merely sit there — like Macron — with a fake smile plastered on your face as the Boy King of America plays his impotent little dominance games. you then get to go home without having created an international incident.

at worst, you'll walk straight into an ambush, as happened to Zelenskyy.

yesterday, Cyril Ramaphosa, the president of South Africa, had a sit-down with Donny — and Donny zelenskied the shit out of him.

"what would happen if you put the black president of South Africa in a room with a demented white supremacist" is a question no one asked — but yesterday we got the answer: it was a distressing-to-watch five-alarm shit-show.

just look at what a ginormous asshole Donny is. he can't even introduce Ramaphosa without gratuitously insulting him.

"it's a great honor to be with the president of South Africa, President Ramaphosa, and he is a man who is certainly in some circles really respected, in other circles a little bit less respected."

gee, thanks for that, shithead.

things took an immediate turn for the worse. Donny had a huge TV rolled in, started yammering about the completely imaginary issue of "white genocide" in South Africa — and then the situation went from bad to fucking surreal.

That was followed by what Trump claimed was video showing over a thousand "burial sites" in South Africa, with aerial footage of a long procession of vehicles moving in one lane of traffic between rows of white crosses. Trump lied that each cross marked the grave of a white farmer or murdered family member.

a mystified President Ramaphosa had no clue what he was looking at

Ramaphosa: "I'd like to know where that is, because this, I've never seen it."

Donny: "it's in South Africa."

oh, well that narrows it down. thanks for clarifying that, dumb-ass.

here's what Ramaphosa was looking at. it wasn't a graveyard. it wasn't a "thousand burial sites," as Donny claimed — and it had nothing to do with "white genocide." it was one protest of the non-race-related murder of two farmers, who were killed during a botched robbery.

It was a protest in response to the murder of a farm couple, Glen and Vida Rafferty, who were killed during a botched robbery of their farm in 2020. Nothing I can find suggests that they were targeted for being white; the robbers broke into their home to get at the safe, couldn't open it, and waited for them to return home. After ambushing and shooting them, the murderers stole their car and some home items. Horrible, but not anything at all close to what Trump said about the video.

Donny then pulled out visual aids. he held up photos that he claimed were of murdered white South African farmers. spoiler alert: they weren't.

"Look, here's burial sites all over the place," said Trump. "These are all white farmers that are being buried."

But the image is a screen grab from a February YouTube video of Red Cross workers responding after women were raped and burned alive during a mass jailbreak in the Congolese city of Goma, according to its caption.

for fuck's sake, the incident Donny is claiming proves "white genocide" didn't even happen in South Africa. but I guess if you're a racist, all African countries are interchangeable.

so, where did this misleading material originate? from the darkest fever swamps of the internet, where conspiracies run wild, that's where. someone downloaded this vile shit, printed it out, and handed it off to Donny — who gobbled it right down because it confirms his 'white people are the real victims' worldview. and we know who that someone is, because Donny comes right out and name-checks him.

"Elon is from South Africa. I don't want to get Elon involved. that's all I have to do — get him in another thing. this is what Elon wanted."

Donny gives away the whole game: this is what Elon wanted. the Space Nazi is a busy guy, so he's outsourcing his racism to Donny, who's more than happy to take it and run with it.

it's so fucking embarrassing. in my lifetime, we've gone from Dwight Eisenhower and John F. Kennedy — who famously read seven entire newspapers every single day — to Donny, a low-wattage illiterate who gets his information from drug-addled conspiracy cranks.

bear in mind, all of this is happening on live TV, in front of a room full of reporters. Donny is hectoring the leader of a country that's supposed to be our ally, and demanding he account for a bunch of made-up racist shit.

what the fuck has happened to America?

thank God there was at least one sane voice in the room. here's South African billionaire Johann Peter Rupert to correct Donny, and explain that South Africa has a crime problem, not a race war problem.

"we have too many deaths, but it's across the board. it's not only white farmers. it's across the board."

of course, no Oval Office Shitacular would be complete without the ritual dressing-down of a reporter.

NBC's Peter Alexander had the temerity to ask Dear Leader about that vulgar flying bordello — which Qatar had delivered to the US that very day — and Donny was all dude, I'm trying to do a racism here, why the fuck are you bringing up my blatant corruption?

"what are you talking about? you know, what are you talking about? you know, you oughta get out of here. what does this have to do with the Qatar jet? they're giving the United States Air Force a jet, OK? and it's a great thing. we're talking about a lot of other things. just NBC trying to get off the subject of what you just saw. you know, you're a terrible reporter. number one, you don't have what it takes to be a reporter. You're not smart enough. but for you to go into a subject about a jet that was given to the United States Air Force, which is a very nice thing.they also gave $5.1 trillion investment in addition to the jet."

wait, wait — let's pause the Boy King's infantile tantrum for a second just to note that no, he fucking didn't get five trillion from anyone — or six trillion, or nine trillion, or any of the ever-changing numbers Donny's been mouth-farting all this week. it's a big ball of never happened.

ok, back to Crazy Donny's meltdown.

"You oughta go back to your studio at NBC, because Brian Roberts and the people that run that place, they oughta be investigated. They are so terrible, the way you run that network. And you're a disgrace. No more questions from you!"

the Mad King is so upset that no one will let him enjoy his golden jet that even when he turns back to Ramaphosa, he won't stop whining about it.

"we need an Air Force One, it's being built. two of them being built. and Boeing's a little bit late, unfortunately. so why did they give us a plane, to the United States Air Force? that's what that idiot talks about after viewing a thing where thousands of people are dead."

an exasperated Ramaphosa finally has had enough, and says —

"I am sorry I don't have a plane to give you."

and Donny, of course, is too dimwitted and self-absorbed to realize he's being mocked.

"I wish you did. I'd take it. if your country offered the US Air Force a plane, I would take it."

it's just so fucking embarrassing.

world leaders, stay out of the Oval Office. no good can come of it.
