President Donald Trump took a blistering shot at establishment media double standards in a fiery White House rebuke Monday.
While speaking at the White House, Trump took a moment to shame the media for the lack of attention given to some of the atrocities happening in South Africa against white Afrikaners — a topic the president cares deeply about.
“It’s a genocide that’s taking place that you people don’t want to write about,” the U.S. president told reporters. “But it’s a terrible thing that’s taking place. Farmers are being killed. They happen to be white.
“But whether they’re white or black, makes no difference to me. But white farmers are being brutally killed, and their land is being confiscated in South Africa.”
Trump then swiftly turned his ire toward the establishment double standard when it comes to race-based issues.
“And the newspapers, and the media, and the television media doesn’t even talk about it,” Trump continued. “If it were the other way around, they’d talk about it. That would be the only story they talk about.”
Trump finished by stressing: “I don’t care who they are, I don’t care about their race, their color, I don’t care about their height, their weight, I don’t care about anything.
“I just know that what’s happening is terrible. I have people that live in South Africa.
“They say it’s a terrible situation taking place. So we’ve essentially extended citizenship to those people, to escape from the violence and come here.”
In February, Trump signed an executive order that targeted South Africa for “egregious actions.”
