Donald Trump press conferences with other world leaders can often be a bit of a minefield, and his meeting on Wednesday with South African president Cyril Ramaphosa — during which he ambushed the president with claims of a “white genocide” happening in his country — was no exception.
“The reason Trump turned this White House event into a murder podcast is that Trump is convinced that there is a ‘white genocide’ going on in South Africa, which of course means there is no ‘white genocide’ happening in South Africa,” says Daily Show host Ronny Chieng in the video above. “You know he cares about it because he said ‘white genocide’. It’s like someone told him, ‘Hey, it’s not just a genocide, it’s a white genocide! You know, the bad kind!’ And Trump’s like, ‘Oh shit, get him in!'”
Ramaphosa did come with the gift of a golf book for Trump, but Chieng isn’t convinced that will be enough to smooth things over. “You lost Trump at ‘book’.”
