Trump is sick. Not just that he's sick, he's ignorant and a liar. I can bet that trump can't rightly point his finger to locate where South Africa is on the world map.

What's more, trump coming to the US with his American first policy is good news for both non aligners and anti west ideologues. This is because he is inadvertently undermining the US global hegemonic control, which is the heart of constant global instability.

Trump needs to chill.
It’s getting irritating.
It’s sweet to see a serious person in power.
I love Trump.
But left and right executive order will make it lose significant.
He should not stop.

He must complete that which he had started.

Only 17% of their AIDS program budget being the sole aid they receive from the US is impressive if true.

Nigeria needs to learn.

South Africa only needs to respond with " look in the mirror". Talking about "treating a certain class of people badly". The hypocrisy is astounding!

But SA is a sovereign country and has the right to exercise its expropriation laws. This reminds me of what Mugabe did in Zimbabwe and the West began to sanction the country.
and where is Zimbabwe today? That should serve as lesson

JuanDeDios:
While it's hard to tell definitely, he will achieve some of his aims. But others will fall flat. The countries he's tariffing will tariff him back - and that's called a Trade War. He will be forced to spend billions bailing out some sectors that will be badly hit. Other countries will be badly hit too and some sectors will need bailout - China, Europe, etc. export a lot to America. In the end, if he doesn't back down, there will be realignments and things will eventually settle and countries will adjust to new realities.
and that means countries looking inward for balancing what the US provides. Those countries will end up gaining self sufficiency and eventually have no use for the USD

Trump makes a threat, see South Africa giving a defensive response. What a shame. That is why we will remain slaves to them for a long. We have AU and all the other regional associations, yet we can't put our heads together, help ourselves and develop ourselves. We keep hearing we have what it takes, yet one conflict or the other makes our news. A man who is not yet in power will speak with so much authority and analyse situations with amazing solutions. Put him in that place of authority, his brain is wiped off, and he becomes a total disgrace.

The Chinese went there to learn and returned to develop themselves. See the magic they did with the coronavirus and changed the world order. They have introduced Deepseek and the world is in awe. Look at Tiktok. With all the sanctions placed on Russia, they still doing very well. Meanwhile, Africans go there to learn and they leave their knowledge behind. They come home to continue unleashing pain and suffering across the continent. Trump has threatened to cut aid, we are all shaking. It is well

This did not start today. The kind of message that you see in the tweet below has been circulating in the US political right for over ten years.

Carl Benjamin @Sargon_of_Akkad

South Africa is a black racial supremacy state run by proto-genocidal maniacs

Pissful religion indeed! grin

Ephesians 6:5-9:
"Slaves, obey your earthly masters with respect and fear, and with sincerity of heart, just as you would obey Christ."

Colossians 3:22-25:
"Slaves, obey your earthly masters in everything; and do it, not only when their eye is on you and to win their favor, but with sincerity of heart and reverence for the Lord."

1 Peter 2:18-25:
"Slaves, in reverent fear of God submit yourselves to your masters, not only to those who are good and considerate, but also to those who are harsh."

Yes.

The reason Japan, the UK, Denmark, etc., buy the US-made Boeing and Humvees is not necessarily because they can't make them. It's because of that little matter we were taught in SS2 economics - comparative cost advantage. That is, it's cheaper to buy these things than to make them. You focus on what you're efficient at making and import those in which you have no advantage - that way, you make life livable for your people because to do otherwise would result in high prices that'll hurt the poor.

But if a Trump makes it such that importing no longer offers that comparative advantage, you're forced to look inwards. This is the mistake I think Mr Trump is making.

There have been conspiracy theories (on the US political right) for a long time that white people are being killed in South Africa, that their land is being taken away and that black people do not know how to govern and that the blacks have destroyed South Africa.
I don't know about the rest but the part about blacks not knowing how to govern is absolutely true

Unless we want to lie to ourselves

Zimbabwe did the right thing. The whites did not buy the land, they took it from the indigenous people and left them with little land. Are whites indigenous to South Africa or colonizers

THAT IS YOUR COLONIAL BRAINWASHING AND IGNORANCE OF YOUR AFRICAN HISTORY TALKING.

WHEN PORTUGUESE AND DUTCH TRADERS VISITED BENIN CITY IN THE 1500s THEY WROTE THAT IT WAS ONE OF THE MOST BEAUTIFUL AND BEST PLANNED CITIES IN THE WORLD.

THEY WERE AMAZED BY THE ZERO CRIME RATE, AND THAT THE PEOPLE BUILT NO FRONT DOORS TO THEIR HOUSES BECAUSE THEFT WAS UNKNOWN.

NUMEROUS OTHER EMPIRES AND KINGDOMS THRIVED AND PROSPERED IN AFRICA FOR THOUSANDS OF YEARS, INCLUDING KEMET, NUBIA, MALI, GHANA, SONGHAI, GREAT ZIMBABWE, AND OTHER GREAT CIVILISATIONS.

SO IT IS BECAUSE YOU ARE HISTORICAL ILLITERATES WITH ZERO KNOWLEDGE OF YOUR GLORIOUS AFRICAN PAST, THAT YOU THINK THE WAY YOU THINK.

WAKE UP.
