Nonilex@masto.ai - #Trump's image of dead 'white farmers' came from Reuters footage in #Congo, NOT #SouthAfrica
Trump showed a screenshot of a Reuters video taken in the #DemocraticRepublicOfCongo as part of what he falsely presented on Wednesday as evidence of mass killings of white South Africans.

"These are all white farmers that are being buried," said #Trump, holding up a print-out of an article accompanied by the picture during a contentious meeting w/South African President Cyril #Ramaphosa.
In fact, the video published by Reuters on Feb 3 & subsequently verified by the new agency's #FactCheck team, showed #humanitarian workers lifting body bags in #Congo’s city of #Goma. The image was pulled from Reuters footage shot following deadly battles w/ #Rwanda-backed #M23 rebels.

It’s unclear where #Trump got the video from, or who, if anyone, characterized to him what the video showed. #ElonMusk — who is originally from #SouthAfrica & is one of Trump’s *advisers* — had posted the video on the social media site X at least twice before today’s meeting.
In Wed’s meeting, when President #Ramaphosa asked where the video was from, Trump said, “I mean, it’s in South Africa.”

The misrepresentation of the footage took place during a stunning meeting in which #Trump made false claims about a genocide against white farmers. Trump dimmed the lights to play the footage, presenting it as *evidence* of racial persecution against white South Africans.
As the clip played, the #IdiotInChief said: “These are burial sites right here. Burial sites. Over a thousand of white farmers.”

A NYT analysis found that the footage instead showed a memorial procession on Sept 5, 2020, near Newcastle, #SouthAfrica. The event, according to a local news website, was for a white farming couple in the area who the police said had been murdered in late August of that year.
The crosses were planted in the days ahead of the event & were later removed.

#Trump Claimed a Social Media Video Showed ‘Burial Sites’ of White Farmers. It Didn’t.
In a White House meeting on Wednesday, Trump showed President Cyril #Ramaphosa of #SouthAfrica a social media video of a rural road lined with white crosses & hundreds of vehicles.
Trump told Ramaphosa that the footage showed “burial sites” of “over 1,000” white farmers in South Africa.

Acc/to the documents, admin ofcls realized quickly that the case had sweeping implications for #Trump’s efforts to remove other #immigrants from the US & send them to #ElSalvador’s megaprison.
As Reuveni pointed out to the group, the case potentially “jeopardizes many far more important initiatives of the current administration.”
“We invoked the #StateSecrets #privilege over many of the details—of course our officials discussed what should be divulged publicly. This just proves they are responsible public servants putting the safety of the American people first. The leakers of these emails, on the other hand, clearly do not care about public safety,” McLaughlin said.

“This was an administrative error,” James Percival, a #DHS official appointed by #Trump, wrote to his colleagues on March 30. “(Not that we should say publicly.)”
Tricia McLaughlin, DHS propagandist, said in a statement that #KilmarAbregoGarcia’s #deportation was part of “a highly sensitive counterterrorism operation with national security implications.” [that’s some hardcore lying.]

Reporter to #Trump: “What will it take for you to be convinced there is no white genocide in #SouthAfrica?”
[Trump looks puzzled]
#Ramaphosa: “…It will take President Trump listening to the voices of South Africans…”
Trump determined to be the authority despite being 100% wrong: “We have thousands of stories talking about it. Turn the lights down & put this on.”
[video of Malema speaking who was expelled from Ramaphosa's African National Congress]
Total freaking nonsense.
#Trump on the fake white genocide in #SouthAfrica: “This is sort of the opposite of apartheid.”
